For Conservatives, It’s Back to Basics - New York Times
A cogent analysis of the conservative reality after the election.
In my view, there are only two key issues where the Republicans lost their way. The first has been and continues to be the reckless federal spending. Second is the terrible miscalculation of the consequences of the Iraq war.
On the Democratic side, they have yet to articulate any positive, viable strategy for either of these issues. If truth be told, they like the federal spending (and 'earmarks') as well as the Republicans, after all they are politicians, too.
As for the war in Iraq and the fight against terrorism, they have yet to propose any different, viable solution. Opposition and criticism is not a strategy for success, except at the polls.
