Dr. Jack Wheeler, TheVanguard.Org board member and architect of the Reagan Doctrine:
“Republicans should tactically exploit the certain fracturing on the Left: we have the Blue Dogs, the Hillary crowd, and radical leftists — one of whom is about to be speaker. Even the Left’s backers like Eleanor Clift (current article on MSN) see trouble ahead. I laughed all day hearing the talk about consensus building and getting along — there ain’t gonna be none! Not with this crew. The Dems have essentially a three way split. The Republicans need to widen it.”

Rush Limbaugh explains how we all feel: “People have been asking me all day, ‘How do you feel, Rush?’ I feel liberated…because I don’t have to carry the water for people who don’t deserve it.”
We must have a leadership change, now. Call your Congressman and DEMAND he vote for Mike Pence for Minority Leader and John Shadegg for Whip. It’s time for a good old fashioned head roll.
Rod D. Martin: “A Turnout Effort is Not a Message”

With the zeal of converts, Republican leaders thought they’d found the magic bullet. They could ignore the big, visionary stuff that characterized Reagan-era campaigns — and Bush’s presidential runs too — because they could turn out the vote. Yea, on our conference calls, the leadership regaled us with the (genuinely amazing) number of person-to-person contacts they were generating — far more, in fact, than 2004 — and how all of this was going to save the day, or most of it anyway.
They couldn’t have been more wrong. A turnout effort cannot be better than the message motivating the turnout. This is Rule Number One.
