Republican Leadership, Wake Up!!!

It is simply amazing and dumb founding to me that in matter of five years we have gone from the party that controlled this country to the party that seems to be clueless on what to do. Their is no doubt that we have lost our way, hopefully after this election our Republican leaders will do some soul searching and come with a plan to put this party back together.

 

One of the first things we must fix is the way we communicate our message. We have to do better; the liberal media isn’t going to help us we have to help ourselves. If this election cycle has proven anything it is that it takes more than Sean Hannity, Laura Ingram, Mark Levin, and Rush Limbaugh to get the Republican message out. The PR staff of the Republican Party has been dismal, and the best example of this is John McCain’s campaign and how they handle both John McCain and Sarah Palin.

 

Republicans did a poor job of using technologies such as the Internet and websites such as Facebook and Myspace to get the message out. One would have thought after the success Mike Huckabee had in this area that those that supposedly have the expertise in this party would have saw this and put a similar plan into action. Unfortunately it is obvious the Republican Party lacks leadership, and finally it is obvious to all us that we must change the leadership. I would recommend that if Mike Huckabee doesn’t plan to run for office again that he should become the new Chairman of the RNC. He has the vision and the communication skills to lead us at the national level.

 

We as a party need to find new leadership; we can’t keep on recycling the same old people, which is what we did with John McCain. We have to have leaders that truly believe in conservative values.  I believe that beginning in the second term of the Bush presidency he tried too much to govern from the center. The biggest example of this was the failed immigration legislation.

 

The most important thing we can do this next election cycle is have leaders that are not the same type of people that we have seen in the last 20 years. That is why people like Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee and to a lesser extent Mitt Romney were so appealing. Not only were they new faces on the block, they had a fundamentality conservative message and they could articulate it in a charismatic fashion.

 

This election was not about a referendum on liberalism. This was a continuation of a referendum on Republicans that have failed to act like Republicans. This is not a mandate for Obama to promote his radical socialistic agenda. This election is a mandate to the Republican Party. Quit acting like Democrats. We are not going to keep on sending you back to Washington to spend our hard earn money we already have Democrats for that. Until you get this message and do much better in communicating to all Americans including your conservative base, bring in new leadership, and return to the small government conservative principles especially fiscally, you can expect to lose more elections at every level of government.
