Many are saying this election was a failure of Conservatism. Not so. It was the product of poor Republican leadership and big government policies. Fiscal discipline went out the window. Earmarks were snatched up eagerly. Corruption scandals sprang up too often. Communication and message management were poor.
In short, the Republican party became undisciplined, greedy, weak and ineffective. This dirtied and eroded the Republican brand such that it became unrecognizable and uninspiring.
We need new leadership. We need new voices and/or the renewing and rejuvination of existing voices. Our elected officials need to stop concerning themselves with power grabs, pandering, and placating. We must unapologetically and unashamedly stand on True Conservative values.
We need to get back to basics and get on message, recognizing that effective and persuasive communication matters. As Laura Ingraham said today, “We must cultivate a new generation of leaders who are both proud of their conservative beliefs and comfortable articulating them with vision, clarify and optimism.”
