Imagine a party that grew over the next four years as much as we've grown over the last four.
Both parties have a great opportunity -- and a great risk. One of the two parties is going to be the party that brings the country into the 21st century . . . and you can't say today which party will win that battle.
I could hardly stand by and allow the party to cannibalize itself in that situation, and I felt it (the decision to step down) was best for all of us.
The Growth and Opportunity Project is the most successful reexamination of a national party in modern times. Te disciplined focus of Chairman Reince Priebus has turned its suggestions into realities that are changing the political setting of elections. No one should underestimate the boldness of these changes and the courage they took.
The Bush administration has now provided three case studies in arrogance, isolation and destructiveness: Michael Brown during Hurricane Katrina, Ambassador Jerry Bremer in Baghdad and Secretary Paulson at Treasury. It is a tragic and very expensive legacy. No conservative and no Republican should doubt how much it has hurt our cause and our party.
The greatest leaders in fighting for an integrated America in the twentieth century were in the Democratic Party. The fact is, it was the liberal wing of the Democratic Party that ended segregation. The fact is that it was Franklin Delano Roosevelt who gave hope to a nation that was in despair and could have slid into dictatorship. And the fact is, every Republican has much to learn from studying what the Democrats did right.
Part of why the Tea Party so deeply threatened the elite media is the tea party looked around and suddenly realized, there are more of us than there are of them.
In every election in American history both parties have their cliches. The party that has the cliches that ring true wins.
The left-wing Democrats will represent the party of total hedonism, total exhibitionism, total bizarreness, total weirdness, and the total right to cripple innocent people in the name of letting hooligans loose.
You know, presidents have to be disciplined, and in that sense Hillary Clinton is probably better trained to be president, just because she's the most corrupt person to ever get the nomination of a major party.
We have a choice between those who are failing to deliver and those who are unthinkable ... Neither party currently is where the country is.
I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don't encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat, obedient, loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words, which would be great around a campfire but are lousy in politics.
I don't see how the party that says it's the party of the family is going to adopt an immigration policy which destroys families that have been here a quarter century.
This is a huge statement to the Republican party ... that Dole thinks this is important enough to do on his own.
