See, my problem with this video (not that the video is the nuts & bolts of the program, yet it does represent the most inspiring and sensational aspects of it) is the intertwining of war (and victory) and tax cuts as the focus.
I mentioned this in my earlier post.
Does the party actually want to go back to Regan and the Bushes? I think if the Republicans have an opportunity to reinvent itself and to get a stronger, younger base, they should be forthright with going back to the basics.
Does this not include fiscal conservatism?
Tax cuts and war at the focus. Really?
How is that federal debt doing?
How is that military budget these days?
The Republicans need a strong base of politicians who actually know what they're doing financially.
How is the Republican track record financially since Regan?
