The current GOP leadership does not advocates small government. They sold out to the bankers, corporations and lobbyists long ago. Ron Paul and the libertarian wing of the party are the only people with a substantive message these days. Unless we RAISE the bar by explaining the simple yet powerful principles of small government the GOP will become completely irrelevant.

It takes marketing. When one product does bad, you have to either dump it, or change it, or at least it's appearance. Substantively it will be the same, it is just a marketing tool. Otherwise you will never win elections. We are dealing with the American people, who unfortunately are easily swayed by a mob mentality and by shallow marketing messages.

I'm very concerned about what we conservatives are to do at the polls in 2010 and 2012. We need a clear choice -- not rebranding. So far, I see the Party as a whole doing only the latter.
