How the GOP can have a big tent

It’s really quite simple. The national Republican Party could include conservatives and moderates on all issues. Heck, they could even include liberals if they want, as long as they all agree to one simple principle:

Do what they swear to do when taking office – Uphold the Constitution of these United States.

-Cap and tax would be off the table.

-Nationalizing health care would be off the table.

-Taxpayer funded abortions would be off the table.

-Confirming federal judges that are “activists” would be off the table.

-Wealth redistribution would be off the table.

-Expanding the federal government would be off the table.

The only catch would be that they would have to uphold the Constitution as intended by our Founders, not as interpreted by judges and prior politicians. Past wrongs don’t make a right. The means no longer justifies the ends. Enough is enough.

Think about it – they could be for the most outrageous liberal policies, but say these things should all be left up to the states. Liberal republicans in liberal states can vote for liberal republicans in their state and local legislatures. If the conservatives don’t like it they can vote with their feet and vice versa. The federal government was not created to bailout states for their own bad decisions.

Here’s a new motto: “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you’re country is doing to you and future generations!”

It’s time to put “republic” back in Republican.

Heck, maybe those liberal voters in liberal states might think twice about progressive policies if there’s no hope of a federal bailout.
