Saving Conservatism from the conservatives

[davester]

This means coming to terms with the 21st century electorate, attending to the middle class pinched by stagnant wages and rising expenses, and developing a sober brand of internationalism to defend American interests. It means mastering new and old media and avoiding the trap of preaching to the choir. It means moving from the abstract to the specific and re-balancing power between an executive branch exceeding its proper authority and a Congress that has ceded traditional prerogatives. And it means finding fresher faces and more engaging voices to articulate the vision and agenda of the new right.

Good luck with any of that. The republican party seems to be heading in the opposite direction, led by Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. All they seem to want these days is jam up the works and diss any of the non-crazy conservatives (I'm thinking Huntsman and Christie here).
