THE UNPOPULAR PARTY, by Rick Lowrey -- http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/341928/unpopular-party-rich-lowry
Mr. Lowrey, conservative columnist and editor of the National Review has some harsh words for his party.
"The national party is leaderless and nearly issueless...
...The latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll has Democrats leading on: looking out for the middle class, Medicare, health care, reducing gun violence, Social Security, immigration, taxes and the economy. The good news for Republicans is that they lead on everything else. The bad news is that everything else is only spending, the deficit and national security...
...At times, 'we have a $16 trillion debt' seems the sum total of the party's argumentation. When party leaders say that they have to become the party of growth again, the policy they invariably advance to that end...is reducing the $16 trillion debt.
This necessary, but hardly sufficient, message is almost all we hear from Republicans in Congress..."
