Hanson: The Problem is not conservatism, but conservatives who aren’t conservative

What mystifies is the paralysis of Republicans and their impotent protestations that "Bush did it". The truth is that Congressional Republicans, responsible for turning principles into governance, deserve to lose—unless they craft clear positions that won't be compromised and then offer them as alternative choices to the voters this fall.

Follow the link (above) for examples. Hanson is right, but I don't expect any Republican congressman to take heed.  They know that they're going to be in the minority so all they care about is securing their own re-election, which generally means buying votes with the voters money.

The Republican Party treats conservatives as if they have no other place to go.  I say: vote Libertarian.  We're going to lose anyway so we might as well send a message.
