A blueprint for victory

The electoral failures of the Republicans this year are not due to a lack of liberalism. If anything, too many Republican candidates are far too liberal for their own political futures.

Here’s a blueprint for success for the party in 2008:

  • Return to Reagan conservatism. Adopt an upbeat, positive attitude about America and its promise. Resist the urge to scowl—even at the prospect of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi being in line for the Presidency.

  • Renew your commitment to fiscal responsibility. No program, no matter how laudable, is worth plunging our children and our children’s children into debt.

  • Promote a strong defense. Just because certain naysayers are complaining about a lack of progress in Iraq, there’s no need to abandon our commitment to our troops abroad.

  • Push hard for a restoration of respect for human life and the sanctity of the American family. Do not be seduced by New Age notions of what the pursuit of happiness really means.

    • If they follow this plan for victory, I guarantee the Republicans will see a reversal in their fortunes at the polls.
