I keep hearing that we must move to the middle to win in the future. I don't believe it! This philosophy is coming from the people who let the New York Times and the popular press choose our candidate during the last election.
Consider the case of Arlen Specter. For years those of us in Pennsylvania let the press and our national politicians tell us that this "liberal light" candidate was what we needed to win in PA. What did it buy us? An unreliable vote. Such weak loyalty to those who elected him, that he was willing to openly take his ball and go home as soon as he thought he couldn't win. Forget the letter after the politician's name and look at what they believe.
Real Conservatism is a belief that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness begins at conception not at birth; that the Constitution should guide the decisions of politicians, the courts and the actions of all Americans; that strong borders make a strong country; that freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion; and that this is a country founded on Judeo-Christian values.
It seems so simple. So Jeb Bush and those who are meeting this week to define the future of the republican party, remember that you have nothing without conservatives, and this is what we believe!
