To the Future Republican Canidate


I hate to keep looking inward and sound like I am attacking Republicans when I should be attacking Democrats– and most of all our current administration. I don’t like sounding as though I am unable to let the past go. But everytime I hear of another bailout or socialist policy being touted… or everytime I think of Rahm Emanuel’s philosophy of don’t let a good crisis go to waste…and everytime I think of Saul Alinsky and our Community Organizer In Chief, I can’t help but remember the 8 year journey we all took with our former Republican Leaders that brought us to this point where our beloved Republic is hanging by a thread. So with that said here is a list of Do’s and Don’ts that you will follow if you expect to get my vote. I will start with the don’ts.

Don’ts:

  • Don’t run as a Compassionate Conservative.
  • Don’t run as a Maverick Republican
  • Don’t pal around with a little egghead with glasses who tells you to flip off your Conservative Base in order to pick off Democratic Voters.
  • Don’t ask for my Conservative vote when you have no intention of championing my Conservative beliefs.
  • Don’t talk about how you were able to work with the other side of the aisle when you were Governor of your state.
  • Don’t be a bumbler.
  • Don’t choose a VP that we all like and then mishandle him/her.
  • Don’t talk about Green Energy.
  • Don’t suspend your campaign to go to Washington to rubber stamp the biggest Socialist power grab we have seen our lifetime since the New Deal.
  • Don’t parrot your opponent’s talking points.

 Do’s

  • Do run as a Conservative.
  • Do find a campaign manager in the mold of the late great Lee Atwater.
  • Do talk about having our own oil supply.
  • Do call your opponent un patriotic if they deserve it.
  • Do point out in the debate their associations with unsavory people.
  • Do point out how their policies have ushered in Socialism.
  • Do point out how they are weak on foreign policy.
  • Do talk about how you will appoint Conservatives in your cabinet.
  • Do talk about how you will appoint Supreme Court Judges who will not cite foreign law in their opinions.

Last week’s tea parties should be a clear example of what we would like your message to be. And let me remind you that Bob Dole and John McCain did not make it to the White House. We will settle for nothing less than a Conservative who spits fire and eats the other side for breakfast.

a couple of don'ts I would add

don’t make excuses for and defend past actions by Rs that include making the government grow bigger and the entitlement spending grow bigger.

don’t leave unchallenged the accusation that Rs are equally at fault for increased size of government and increased entitlement spending. Be prepared with the data of final votes to show how the Ds are at least 100 times worse than the Rs in this respect

ditto Pil' - I always cringe when I hear that inaccurate historical equivalence

And if voters get the impression that dems and repubs are alike then the odds increase exponentially that they will revert to default mode rather than seriously reseach each candidate and when they revert to default mode in a nation the democratic party has dominated for most of the last century…

one gets obama, pelosi and reid

By all means we must repudiate past gop sins…but when we do, lets show seniors how they still keep the RX?

Don’t think you can buy off voters with spending. The Democrats can always outbid you.

 
 

Here is what the next successful candidate will do,

Republican or Democrat:

—tells the unvarnished truth about where the country is;

—trims back Federal government to its Article I limits;

—understands that is still a level of power that will dominate the other levels of government and is supposed to;

—lives and breathes the Xth Amendment and lets the States and the people (as individuals and in groups) experiment with how to organize and improve life, politically and economically;

—understands the declining tax base and constraints on borrowing;

—orchestrates legal reforms that allow for cheaper insurance products to be available in all states, the practice of medicine to be seen as a national-market and provides for innovative group purchase of insurance to privatize the health care system and wean it away from being employer-based; and

—reorganizes the military to be smaller, less expensive and more lethal.
