HUCKABEE: THE NEW FACE OF THE GOP?
So then are we saying to just pack it in? Give in to a giant Nanny State? Delightful.

JESUS, LORD! ARE THEY ALL HYPOCRITICAL BASTARDS?
Note I say restricting abortion, not banning it.

You're still wrong on the Beauchamp issue and Ace, but I agree with this, in particular the gay issue and young voters(which I think I fit into).
Restricting abortion is actually not a bad position for us, from what I can tell, younger people are more pro-life than the older age groups, so I think your assessment on that is wrong.
However, the fever pitch on gay issues is too much. And it absoutely does hurt us in my age group, and with many others.
The sad part is, I actually think we could do much better in my age group if we preached liberty based conservatism,in particular combatting the Nanny State, I think a lot of people see things they enjoy being banned or restricted, or people wanting to ban or restrict things they enjoy. Even protecting small things like video games, tobacco, alcohol, vehicles, food. That unfolds into bigger, more important liberties like speech rights, privacy(combatting creepy Big Brother overreach) and the right to bear arms, then move onto free market principles combined with preaching community activism and volunteering (which my age group is much more willing to volunteer than previous ones) over unethical(and often misused or abused) gov't entitlements...use copius examples of gov't failure and juxtapose to private and charitable success.
Beyond that, the issue of the coming collapse of Social Security and Medicare, and the tab they'll be left with. Given the rampant and spectacular failures in gov't we've witnessed, I think people are likely to be skeptical of big gov'ts ability to solve problems.
I know I'm missing things, but I think that the GOP message is weak, and rings hollow for future generations, and frankly, current ones, mostly because the GOP elite are a bunch of corrupt, tin-eared f*cktards.
I think people would be much more open to conservatism if we went at the angle I propose over the current crop of Kleptocons and sloppy pandering to religious.

A RESPONSE TO CRITICS OF MY LAST POST
Clearly we don't read the same AoSHQ then. Says all I need to know.

I don’t know how far “right†Ace really is. I think he just likes to scream.
So wait, you b*tch about Ace, "Does Ace have a window into my soul? Is he a mind reader?", then you go ahead and just assume he likes to scream in comments, so I ask you,
"Does Rick Moran have a window into Ace's soul? Is he a mind reader?"Good point, Bender Bending!
