I have no foreknowledge of him except I think he has been watching the same debate we have about the need for bringing Hispanics into the GOP. Our philosophy already caters to all races, however I understand that being weak on illegal immagration is whats recommended. Can we hope that if we go through another amnesty initiative we can expect enforcement of our border security? I also disapprove of the kneejerk reaction to run someone of a minority group as the antidote to the Democrat lock on the minority vote. It seems two dimensional and unclever. I want the best conservative Republican for the job regardless of their background. If our fiscal platform doesnt attract people of color, other then white, then its certainly the loss of miguided and manipulated people that reject conservatism. The world may change but Ill remain as a rock.
Core values should never be for sale or a negotiating chip. FL said it best when she said we all need to get involved if we want to break the moderate, squishy spined, establishment hold on the GOP.
If a
group needs to be pandered to, then they don't need conservatism. If a "conservative" says we need to pander, then that "conservative" needs to go join the party of
groups. Conservatism works on an
individual level because
groups tend to hold their rank and file down while the leaders do all of the "thinking".
Group think does not mesh with conservatism; it never has, it never will. We have more
groups than
individuals at this point and we need to work on
individuals in the
group, not work with the
group itself.
Two moderates ran for president, two moderates lost. An unyielding marxist ran for president, an unyielding marxist won both times. That needs to be the takeaway, not how much pandering needs to be done.
Mr George P Bush needs to stay away from national politics.
