Republican Party Losing Conservatives And Independents

“We need more voices,” said House Minority Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia, one of the party’s up-and-coming leaders. “Our party’s challenge has been that we need to be more inclusive — we need to attract the middle again. ... When one party controls all the levers of power in Washington, they’re going to try and villainize whoever they can on our side. It gives us an opportunity now to try and harness the energy and point it in a positive direction, so that we can attract the middle of the country to the common-sense conservative views that we have been about as a party.”

Many top Republicans are growing worried that the party’s chances for reversing its electoral routs of 2006 and 2008 are being wounded by the flamboyant rhetoric and angry tone of conservative activists and media personalities, according to interviews with GOP officials and operatives. 

Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and their ilk are not what caused the major losses of 2006 and 2008.  The Republican leaders are what caused it.  The leadership of the Republican Party became just like the elitist progressive Democrats.

Some Republicans worry the party could squander an opportunity to capitalize on voters’ concerns about Obama and the Democratic Congress because they come off looking shallow, sharply partisan or just plain odd to persuadable voters.  Following the liberal philosophy of Republican leadership now is what will lose even more voters than the Party has lost in the past.

Ed Gillespie, who was counselor to Bush and has started a conservative group called Resurgent Republicans, said his polling shows rising numbers of persuadable voters who are growing disenchanted with the Obama administration’s policies but nevertheless remain invested in the President.

“Our party has to bring those voters along with a critique of policies, not the kind of harsh rhetoric the left used against former President Bush,” Gillespie said.
“Without a good slice of the independents, we are doomed,” said former House Minority Leader Bob Michel (R-IL).

The Republican Party is doomed if it doesn’t return to its conservative roots.  America is not a left wing liberal country.  Return to the conservative roots and show leadership on balanced budgets, tax cuts, and a strong military presence.  Conservatives and independents will vote for those issues.  They won’t vote for more socialism.
