Party faithful won’t be enough to capture the White House
On Super Tuesday, roughly 15 million Democrats turned out to vote for their candidates. In stark contrast, just over half that number of Republicans went to the polls.
The base's lack of enthusiasm for what the party machine has produced is causing some head scratching in the back room, but not much else. Runaway spending, corpulent government, ballooning inflation, a $9 trillion debt, eroding of civil liberties, et al. have left conservatives feeling betrayed. And the guys behind the curtain just can't seem to figure out that this neoconservative dementia doesn't represent true conservativism, and thus, doesn't represent true conservatives.
Given these considerations, the Republican Party should brace for defeat in the general election, because if the numbers hold, the party faithful won't be enough to capture the White House for the once "Grand Old Party."
Bobby Eberle, President and CEO of GOPUSA writes:
"… the conservative base has seen the Republican Party go astray. From runaway spending, to big government programs, to assaults on our First Amendment rights to amnesty for illegal aliens, conservatives have become disheartened. Conservatives are told to be loyal to the Republican Party, yet the Republican Party has shown no loyalty to the conservative base. Conservatives are told to fall in line and work for Republican candidates, yet Republican candidates are not working for conservatives."
Eberly goes on to underscore classical conservative ideals like "[l]ower taxes, smaller government, a commitment to life, support for free speech," etc., and is enlisting the support of conservatives in what is aptly named, the Contract with Conservatives.
The contract is a pledge to only support candidates who uphold classical conservative ideals. Pop on over to GOPUSA and show the powers-that-be if they want your vote, they've got to earn it.
