The GOP's progress during the last four decades is a stunning political achievement. But it is also a cautionary tale of what happens to a dominant party - in this case, the Democrat Party - when its thinking becomes ossified; when its energy begins to drain; when an entitlement mentality takes over; and when political power becomes an end in itself rather than a mean to achieve the common goal.
The United States faces a ruthless enemy - and we need a commander-in-chief and a Congress who understand the nature of the threat and the gravity that American finds itself in. President Bush and the Republican Party do. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for many Democrats.
To retreat before victory has been won would be a reckless act, and this president and our party will not allow it.
The Tea Party movement is a wide and diverse group. It will hurt the Republican Party if some elements of the Tea Party decide to become third party advocates because it will split the conservative vote.
Remember the Tea Party movement didn't get started in September of 2008 when the bank bailout was passed. It really began on Feb. 19th, 2009 when a television commentator named Rick Santelli stood up and said what the hell are we doing bailing out people who couldn't afford a mortgage by taking money from people like me who are prudent?

If you look underneath the surface of the Tea Party movement, on the other hand, you will find that it is not sophisticated. It's not like these people have read the economist Friedrich August von Hayek.
Ronald Reagan wasn't in the establishment of the Republican Party either, nor was Richard Nixon.
At the core, we are dealing with two parties that have fundamentally different views of the world.
This is a very good proving ground for the belief that Democrats can talk about values and their faith and it will make a difference,
If more people in government knew about the press and more people in the press knew about governing, the world would be a better place to live. Journalists would perform their craft better if they were more understanding of the realities and complexities of running for and serving in public life.
not easily, not quickly, but confirmed after a hard effort.
a period early in the new year where people reach out and work together, and we certainly want to do that.
