Battle for the soul of the GOP
As the Wall Street Journal reports, House Republicans are debating whether to move to the left or the right, given their tailspin of the last two years. The 2006 election was proof positive that Americans won’t support a GOP that is corrupt, drunk with power and spends money like the Democrats. As my boss Dick Armey says, “When we act like us we win. When we act like them, we lose.”
The conservative Republican Study Committee in the House of Representatives is the future of the GOP. It is led by Rep. Jeb Hensarling and includes other conservative legislative entrepreneurs like Rep. Jeff Flake and Rep. Paul Ryan. Conservatives need to get behind the RSC agenda and reject the GOP party hacks that have led Republicans down the road to defeat. The GOP has become the party of big government, or Democrat-light. It needs to return to its limited government principles if it wants conservatives to come out and vote for its candidates this fall and in future elections.

Love your blog. I am going to link you. You are spot on and I am one of those conservatives that is disgusted with the direction the GOP is going.
