More GOP thoughts.

Another interesting oped on the Republicans from David Brooks of the New York Time. Although, Brooks tends to lump the small government/lower taxes folks in with with the neo-cons which strikes me as incorrect. I was always under the impression the long-time members of the GOP were appalled by the shift towards neo-con values, particularly when the government started promoting and regulating these values.

I can't help but think the Republicans will be so much more appealing as a party if they take the past emphasis on small government/less spending/fiscal conservatism and rework it into something that fits with our day and age. Stop talking about Reagen (after all, did Reagan run on the platform created by Dwight Eisenhower?) and start finding a truly conservative message that resonates with today's voters and today's issues.
