Republicans Start New Web Site To Rebuild

But have they really learned anything at all?

After the stinging rebuke of the Republican Party last election Republican apparatchiks from redstate.com, and other groups, have created a new web site to show off their “plan” on what the Party should do.

The web site opens with;

“As Republicans, we face a choice.

Either we can spend the next several months — or years — trying to figure out what just happened, excusing our defeat away as a temporary blip or the result of a poor environment, and waiting for Barack Obama to trip up. Or we can refuse to take this defeat lying down, and start building the future of our party now.

2008 made one thing clear: if allowed to go unchecked, the Democrats’ structural advantages, including their use of the Internet, their more than 2-to-1 advantage with young voters, their discovery of a better grassroots model — will be as big a threat to the future of the GOP as the toxic political environment we have faced the last few years.

The time is now to set in motion the changes needed to rebuild our party from the grassroots up, modernize the way we run campaigns, and attract different, energetic, and younger candidates at all levels.”

On the outside it seems fair enough. But are they not denying the fact that the Party is NOT the Party of Conservatism? And that the biggest reason why the party lost so badly wasn’t because they didn’t have the internet savvy that the Democrats have, if that were the case then why did they not jump behind Ron Paul, who proved he had the internet force that could win, had they rounded up the troops behind him?

They go on with platitudes about being “Conservative” when in reality the Party hasn’t been about Conservatism since Reagan, to an extent.

They list these ideas as the main thrust the Party should take:

> Recruit 5 million new Republican online activists.
> Hold campaigns and local parties accountable.
> A more open technology ecosystem.

They go on and on about changing the way the Party operates, rebuilding grassroots infrastructure and turning into an “us” political Party, and not a single word of going back to the limited government roots of Conservatism. The Party of non-interventionism, not throwing your weight around and threatening other governments and invading without following Constitutional constraints on war. The Party of truly free and open markets, not economy and job busting managed trade arrangements like NAFTA, CAFTA and others. The Party that respected personal freedoms and kept their damned hands out of my pocketbook and away from my bedroom.

Instead these political blow-hards are groveling for a reason to exist as a Party. When all they really ever had to do is to show how different from the Democrat Party they should have been all along. The last election was more of a race to see who can create a bigger and more intrusive government. There was no choice. When a political opponent only has to repeat a meaningless mantra, such as “Change We Can Believe In”, and he can wipe the floor with your candidate then it seems obvious that the Republican Party had an even more meaningless position.

You think the Republican Party learned from the election of our first self-avowed Marxist President and the ass whipping they got in both houses of Congress?

If the following web page is any indication….don’t count on it.

See the web site …. rebuildtheparty.com

EDIT:
After saying what I had to say, there seems to be a glimmer of hope.

If you go to the following web page, at that site, you’ll see many people warning that the Party has to return to its limited government roots.

It seems the People know what the problem is.

Does anyone think that those in charge of the Party, the neo-cons, will listen and get the hell out to let the reform happen?

Not me.

Here’s their “Feedback” page….it’s worth a read.
