They know how to steer alright and it will be 180 degrees from are current course.
I'm really tired of both sides wanting to do somthing. Just leave me alone!
Well, a couple of questions naturally arise from your comment. First, who is “they,” and second, will “they” just steer us towards a different set of hazards?
An understandable viewpoint.
I purge a David Frum every morning. Sometimes two.
For the record, I don’t think very highly of the judgment of either Carney or Frum, to put it mildly. I just think this article offers some amazing insight as to how clueless these Republican insiders really are. The admission that they have no real policy agenda or vision is very telling.
Hey Dave, let’s try gridlock for a while, see how that goes...
Would seem that articulating a solid plan would be giving the media a club to beat you over the head with during the campaign. Better to play close to the vest like Zero did and announce you plans after the election is over.
With a hostile media this is a good strategy.
Well Frum can kiss my ass after the way he and his ilk treated Palin in 2008. And National Review along with those other “brains of the right” can go wherever it is that Frum went unless and until they get over their weird love of the anti-conservative Mitt Romney.
The rantings of an out of touch RINO.
Wow. The whole house must stink.
Yep.
we want to undo!!!!
Troubling fact is the lack of leadership in the GOP...currently.
...And I should add, that the intelligentsia tried to force-feed Romney to us, we puked it back up, and we were left with Juan McCain.
so we need new intelligentsia anyway, so I really don’t give a crap if these institutions get with the new program or crumble into dust.
This is a hostile takeover.
David, to borrow a phrase from the poseur-in-chief, your vision of conservatism is what has led the GOP into the ditch. We don't need you to tell us how to drive out of it. Senator DeMint and Congressman Pence will be given the wheel and they know exactly what they're doing, thank you very much. Just run along and get out of the way. It's clear that it is going to be too wild of a ride for you and your wobbly co-horts who Iowahawk has described so well ....weekly confabulation of like-minded conservative thinkers at the old family Montauk estate. Dame Peggy Noonan was there as always, along with the vivacious Kathleen Parker and those two mighty Davids of conservative intellect, Frum and Brooks.
I am anxious to see what their agenda is. Sure, extend the tax cuts but unless they are going to get real on spending reductions across the board (the reality of fiscal conservatism.....) then they will waste the opportunity nd all will be lost.
I’m down with the others. Stopping the Obama agenda is plenty good enough for now, until real leadership shows up.
Somehow I always thought wed get more done before we became completely corrupt. How much will we get done next time given the poverty of our think tank work over the past half decade?”
How much did the founders rely on think tanks for their vision of government?
If we do get true conservative majorities in both chambers just ending this reaching across the aisle bipartisan nonsense along with some serious rollbacks will be a huge victory.
It’s gonna take a while to undo the damage.
