During the primary, the thing that impressed me most about Ron Paul (other than the fact that I read his books and speeches) was that he was being called the same names the Republican establishment called Barry Goldwater: “Nut case” and “extremist” — Goldwater didn’t think we should get involved in Vietnam and he said Social Security needed to be fixed.
Soul-searching is not in the GOP’s blood. Many Republicans see themselves as stoic, rugged and hardworking individuals. But after twice losing the White House to an ex-community organizer and failing to mobilize the base, Republicans need to take a trip to a mountainous valley, sip some tea and meditate.
In the quiet of nature, I think Republicans would find that the solutions to winning lie within themselves. After my own reflection, I developed three key insights into how the GOP can win presidential elections going forward:
#1 Keep an open mind
Early on, talking heads like Ann Coulter disparaged Romney...
The GOP actually "booed" the Golden Rule. They booed Jesus.
The GOP deserved to lose.
Obama's been trying to cover up the Benghazi incident. After all, there are many angry Ghadaffi patrons in Libya, and they want revenge (something you won't hear from Obama or RINOs). Only Paul had the integrity to call 9/11 the blowback it was.
