CM PRESS #530

UPDATED: Saturday, November 8, 2008, 6:30 PM
OC GOP BIGS WANT CHANGES IN PARTY

According to an article in the almost daily Daily Pilot today, the Lincoln Club says it'll stop funding some Republican politicians in D. C. if the national leadership isn't immediately changed. LINK

We couldn't agree more. In fact, we've been saying that the GOP was a slow moving train wreck during the whole Bush administration.

The GOP has been pushing incompetent politicians, failed policies and lies since Bush took over.

There's no need to rehash the disasters here, but even the party insiders now realize that if the GOP is to survive as a viable political entity, is has to get rid of the bums--who are mostly neocons--and rebuild the GOP on its traditional foundations of smaller government, lower taxes, fiscal responsibility...and...honesty.

We're Republicans here at the CM PRESS--Reagan and Buchanan Republicans--and we've been disgusted for years by bull in the China shop George Bush who has been spending money like a drunken sailor and following a path that has made the U.S. a laughing stock around the world.

Clean the house GOP, before it completely falls down around your ears.

BIG TENT NOT NEEDED
We're amused by those who say that the GOP needs to be a big tent just like the Democrat Party if it is to win elections.

Actually, the two parties are far too much alike already and that's a problem. What's the point of even having different political parties if they're alike?

Political parties are supposed to be organizations with ideas and world views that they want to see implemented because the members believe these particular ideas and world views are better for the nation than other ideas and world views.

One of the flaws of the American political system these days is that it is almost impossible to have viable third parties that have a chance of winning any important political races.

Both parties have to cater to the lumpen masses in the center of the bell curve where mediocrity and conformity reign. They have to do this because, by definition, that's where most of the votes are.

By having both parties catering to the masses and mass tastes, we have a system that is stagnant and which promotes mediocrity.

Maybe it's time to revise our system and go to something more like a European system where there are many viable third parties that strongly advocate for certain positions and which try to convince voters that their positions are the best ones.

A big tent isn't needed. Instead, we need a field of small expandable tents full of people who believe in their ideas and who boldly assert them and who try to convince others that they should enter those tents and help them expand. Call it political natural selection.

Today, we have a Democrat tent and a Republican tent and they're pretty much the same thing. # # #
