New GOP Outreach Effort...National Council for a New America

Doesn't the name just make you want to run out and take back the country? Or a nap. One or the other.

Maybe this will turn out to be great or maybe it will, you know, die of its own weight and self importance.

In an effort to revive the Grand Old Party's image, congressional Republican leaders are launching a series of forums and town hall meetings to engage the American public in policy discussion.

...The first event will be held Saturday at a town hall meeting in Northern Virginia. Topics will cover the economy, education, energy, health care and national security.

Some of the names involved are good...former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Rep. Mike Pence and noted Jew Rep. Eric Cantor.

Some are meh...John Boehner, David Dreier, Roy Blunt, Mitch McConnell, Jon Kyl, John Cornyn and Mitt Romney

And some need to go away...John McCain and Lamar Alexander.

It's a little unclear on whether Palin and Stanford were contacted but apparently the group is open to additional participation.

This kind of top down crap isn't going to work. Where are the bloggers, the writers, the folks that organized the tea parties? A bunch of elected officials isn't going to get anyone excited or motivated. The GOP really needs to try and tap into the energy and vitality of the active base and build from there. Some craptastic roadshow of 'notables' who are mostly noted for being an endangered species in the world of politics isn't going to change much.

1 Sounds like the old group is the same as the new group.

2 Palin and Stanford are out.

Though clearly a wise move it ain't gonna go over very well with the teabaggers.

McCain? Alexander? Romney?

And Jeb Bush for crying out loud?

No Bush will ever again receive my vote. Sorry Jeb. Never, never, ever again!

We need to get rid of John McCain in that group and replace him with JD Hayworth, the next senator from Arizona.

7 Agree. There is no energy here, no excitement and nothing new. Attendees probably need to bring their alarm clocks . . . particularly those listening to McCain. I'm beginning to think these people haven't got a clue and just don't get it.

8 I am wondering how you conservatives feel about this.  I want to get behind the Republican party, but i am not really a conservative.  I am mostly libertarian, and the libertarian is always going to be pretty "at odds" with the social conservative wing of the Republican party.  Is it even possible to have a movement that has libertarians and social conservatives as members, I mean in large numbers?

It's a start, right?

Look, I'll be the first one to bash them and call them c-suckers if it's nothing more of the same old call for bi-partisanship and reaching across party lines and abandoning core conservative values to pander to special groups, but let's give it a chance.

13 Interesting... 4 of the 5 things listed as topics for discussion are things the government has no right to muck about with.... the economy, education, energy, health care and national security.   How many speakers does it take to say "the government has no role to play?"

Sure it is. Look at the GOP from the 1970's onwards. Of course it helps if the libertarians are more concerned about the size of goverment than about whether two men can marry each other.

Of course it is. From my perspective it seems like it's the Libertarians who don't want to coexist with the social conservatives, not the other way around.

As long as Libertarians don't say stupid shit like the social cons should shut up or should abandon their views on abortion and homosexual marriage, I'm fine with them in party.

You can believe what you want, and I'll believe what I want. And if want to reject a candidate who thinks it's okay to kill unborn babies, that's my right. I won't accept said candidate for the sake of phony-baloney PC "choice" and sure as hell won't accept said candidate in the hopes of gaining PUMA votes, for example.

Naw, I wouldn't tell you to fuck off unless you started acting like that asshat honest cloud.

Heck, I agree with many libertarian principles, but I don't see any evidence it's a large enough movement to worry votes might be lost to the democrats. Seems to me libertarians are voting 1) libertarian or 2) Republican. The libertarians who are realistic vote Republican, and those who aren't will never vote Republican. It's always been that way. But hell, if you can prove that there is an electorally significant number of dope-smokers who can be swayed, I don't have a problem with the Republicans reaching out.

24 #19.  Yeah I understand that.  Social Cons and libertarians will never see eye to eye, but I am perfectly happy to let them believe what they want and even to lobby for policies they support in the party.  I think keeping the government small and under control is vastly more important than having a unified social message.  If we accomplish the former, the latter can work itself out in the local polity which is ok with me.

Posted by: doug at April 30, 2009 02:12 PM (Sa/HV)

I don't think he's talking about the potsmoking wing of liberterians, but rather the "quit spending my money" wing and the "get the government out of my fucking life wing". You know, the people we are naturally allied with and need if we want to win anything more than dogcatcher.

#21 Yeah, not sure.  I think there are lots of people who are "libertarianish" who vote democrat because they think the social stuff is more important than the economic.  I know a lot of conservatives aren't fond of the idea of appealing to independents, but what needs to happen is to convince these people with libertarian leanings that the Republican party is the best possibility of getting what they want.  At this point everything helps, and it seems strategically, focusing on LIBERTY is the way back, and I personally feel the libertarians have always understood that best (despite being a pack of kooks...)

Of course we're naturally allied with the libertarians. So what's the point of asking whether the GOP can handle both social cons and libertarians?

Of course it can. And has. For years. And of course there will be purists who will only vote libertarian no matter how much the GOP reaches out.

I don't know. I'm guessing a libertarianish type who votes dem based on social issues is, well.......more of a liberal than libertarian.

In any event, isn't the core belief of a libertarian a small, constrained national government? If so, I can't see how a libertarian could vote dem.

Posted by: Dave at April 30, 2009 02:22 PM (Xm1aB)

The problem usually lies with the Libertarians. Most of them happen to be atheists (and former Christians) and they can't tolerate Christians, not the other way around. And that's the truth of the matter.

Those people are called "liberals". If you're cool with Obama and you obsess over the "injustice" that two men cannot marry, you are no libertarian. If you're cool with the Dems trampling on free speeh and gun rights, you are no libertarian.

This is how libertarians try to inflate their numbers, by saying lots of people are "libertarianish". But they're not.

Posted by: flenser at April 30, 2009 02:23 PM (OQW4n)

34 Dear Candidate for Office:
Look, $20 is a lot of money to donate to your campaign.  It isn't a lot of money if I'm hungry and want food, or bored and want entertainment, and it's nothing if I need something fixed, or if I forgot a birthday or anniversary. 

I'll pay, when you convince me you have ideas worth supporting.

How to reach me?  Paid advertising on a conservative blog.  Ace of Spades, Malkin, Powerline, even moderates like Instapundit (that amazon.whore probably charges a lot though), Volkoth, Alphecca, etc. 

To reiterate:  first good ideas, then you pay media that actually reaches me, then I pay to support you.  I know you want the money first, and maybe you want to pass on being a real, principled leader, but it's not going to work that way this time around.

40 The only workable idea for 2010 is a "contract with America II" that lays out fiscally conservative positions as it relates to the Congress.Obama will matter only in the context of judges or foreign policy blunders.
This of course means that congressmen will need to be on the same page and show a discipline that I doubt they have.The senate will go their own way as usual.
This council cant work- there are too many "leaders" which will produce "consensus ".
For better or worse it was a smart at the time to invest Newt with real power, a first amongst equals.

Flenser, I think you are conflating liberal potsmokers with "our" libertarians. Most of the folks here have at least some self identification with libertarianism. That being, they want the least government involvement in their lives consistent with an orderly society.

Me, I'm socially conservative. But I vote mostly on fiscal conservativism. I would note, however, most social-con issues are entirely reactionary. They have been forced to compete in the political arena because "progressive" elements have used the powers of the Congress and the courts to force changes on society that a majority of society doesn't support.

if the Republicans want to win elections, they must include every damn voting person they can lay hands on.  because we are fighting immigrants & ACORN fraud.

the libertarians i know, the true ones, are great additions to our national conversation. 

and we will need RINOs too  (yeah, i know, yuk).  but they are helpful negotiating/mediating with the Dems which has to be done to run the govt.

The problem is not the image.  The GOP has a reality problem.  What are they?  Certainly not fiscal conservatives.  They don't believe in ennumerated powers. Certainly not private property, or freedom from government interference into our daily lives. 

They have proven they don't care about me.  I'm just returning the favor. Run a Constitutional, limited government, fiscal conservative and I'll be there, with my checkbook.  Keep running Democrats with Rs after their names, trying to pretend they are different from Democrats with Ds after their names and I'll stay home.  There are two teams of Autocrats running against each other now.  I'm rooting for mutual destruction.

67 I'm an indy, but if I had to choose a party, it would be libertarian.  Naturally, the libertarian party and the republican party have differences, if they didn't they wouldn't be 2 seperate parties.  And we don't HAVE to agree on everything, but I think the biggest issue right now and in the foreseeable future is out of control goverment taxing/spending.  That is something we agree on.  IMO now isn't the time to write off libertarians as dope-smoking kooks, especially when most of us don't fit that description.

The GOP needs to get it's head out of it's elephant ass and quit being so snobby and stupid.  They keep parading out the old hacks trying to make them look new again.

The message needs to be about what is best for all Americans, not what is best for conservatives/Republicans.  That message is small government, principles and values.  We have to quit labeling people and boxing them into corners.   We also need to get out of their sex lives and their religion.  We are not the moral authority of this nation, only God is, and he is the one who will be judging all of us, not our politicians.

I won't be traveling to Virginia so that I can sit quietly in a chair while dignitaries with microphones can tell me that they're listening to me. So here's my rupee's worth:

Economy. It's global; please treat it as such. Metrics are important, but the state of the economy is more than a GDP number and an unemployment datum.

Education. Teachers unions will soon be to school districts what auto workers unions have been to car companies.

Energy. It comes down to electricity and transportation; heat, too, for those of us up north. We need energy for these purposes. We'd like it to be inexpensive, and clean energy is preferable, but we have to have it.

Health care. People say "health care" like it means something specific, but in fact this is a broad range of several categories of issues. Perhaps it's time to articulate some specific problems and policy proposals.

National security. See all of the above. It covers a broad range of issues, it's global, special interests are counterproductive in this area, and we absolutely need it.

PS. Maybe these guys should find out why the Democrats have had such a nice winning streak lately.

77 The problem with libertarians is that too many of them cannot answer the question as to what libertarianism is without getting into an argument with another libertarian.

A lot of small-government conservatives call themselves libertarian, as do the pot-smoking hippies who are fine with big-government.

Give me a definition and then ask the question if libertarians can co-exist with social conservatives.

Sorry, I'd walk a mile to see Jindal.  Romney's terrific and so is Jeb.  Lamar, McCain, et al., speak for themselves, yet I would cross the street to see them.  Wonder what the Newt's up to.  One of my Dhimmi lobbiest friends got me a ticket to see him at a small reception here.  He is the real deal.  Wish I'd remembered to call him "Speaker" rather than "Newt."   Again, the toothless redneck DNA carries with it many unfortunate genetic proclivities.

If they visit either one of my home flyover states, I'll be there.  I do agree, however, that they need to integrate with the tea party ideals and organizers.

AND, and, any political conference is a learning experience.  I learned that in my region of Iowa, the last bastion of conservatism in the state, the politicians on hand for the Saturday legislative sessions at the library kowtow to labor representatives before they call on the taxpayers.  Since there's little industry here, why are they beholden to local unions?  More research needs to be done but you won't learn this stuff sitting home watching CNN.

Well, I don't know if I am up to a full definition of libertarianism, but it seems to me that anyone who calls himself a libertarian ought to believe BOTH in small government AND your right to smoke pot.  A libertarian should support both economic liberty and social liberty.  Of course it all gets complex once you start debating the details.   I would advocate legalizing pot but not angel dust, for example.

But the fight against government expansion is becoming critical.  I understand the Republican urge toward ideological purity.  It is a perfectly understandable urge.  And it may be RIGHT.  If you can find another Ronald Reagan, maybe it will work.  But we have to win the battle against Obama and his commie crue, and we have to win it FAST.  Anyone with libertarian leanings should be an ally, and by libertairian I dont meant someone who is fine with big government but wants to smoke pot.  That is not libertarian....

80 Jeb Bush, John McCain, Mitch McConnell, and John Cornyn?

Bzzt. Try again becasue that's a fine way to thin the crowds right there. Or to ensure they arrive in larger numbers with tomatoes, tar, and feathers.

Sure, there are some decent alternatives in the bigger lot, but recycling or reintroducing proven failures, even if only marginally undesirable from a small-government bent, is not going to cut it.

Who was there during the Clinton era and when the GOP was there helping Bush grow government? Yeah, they probably shouldn't be attending. Yes, they're supposedly trying to "reach out" to the roots, but that's really bullshit. They had every opportunity to listen to the Right and conservative middle and opted out except when they were bludgeoned over the head (like during amnesty and comprehensive POS). This seems more an attempt to subvert the grassroots Tea Party than it is to actually change philosophically to classical America.

Maybe instead of a listening tour to hijack the growing masses' own power play, this National Council for a New America - after hiring a new ad agency to think up a better name - could go proactive, announce which government programs they'll cut (not reduce, actually cut), how they'll yield federal power back to the states and the individual, and earn some stripes proving they're capable of contributing preemptively.

It's really not a secret what the public is angry about. You don't need a "tour"... unless this is about showboating and proving you care about the children.

81 I would advocate legalizing pot but not angel dust, for example.

Posted by: doug

The problem is that you have to answer the question as to why yes for pot, but no to meth or angel dust.

The second problem is that you have to live in an entirely different society where medical treatment and social problems are NOT someone else's problem. Until you are willing to let addicts die in the streets you have a problem.

When other taxpayers are footing the bill, libertarianism doesn't make a great deal of sense.

This kind of top down crap isn't going to work. Where are the bloggers, the writers, the folks that organized the tea parties? A bunch of elected officials isn't going to get anyone excited or motivated.

Ur, eh, uh, Ace, I beg to differ.  If Sarah Palin were the headliner at one of these things, people would line up for blocks.  They had to keep moving the Richmond, VA venue last fall because of ticket demand.  They figured 6,000 would show; the turning-lib paper reported 20,000 at Richmond Raceway.

Travis, yeah i DO have an anser.  It might not be an adequate one, but I do have a reason.  I think that if there is a drug that greatly increases the statistical likelihood of violence it should not be legalized.   Exactly where the line is draw is a matter for debate of course, but if it can be shown to me that my belief that angel dust and meth do NOT greatly increase the likelihood of violence simply because of their use, then I would favor legalizing them as well.

The point you make about medical problems being a tax payer problem is a perfectly valid one, and it is one reason why medical problems should NOT be turned into the problems of others via taxes.  This is one of the reasons I think national health care is a problem.  My health issues are not your problem.

Would I be willing to let addicts die in the street?  I sure would.

I said " Exactly where the line is draw is a matter for debate of course, but if it can be shown to me that my belief that angel dust and meth do NOT greatly increase the likelihood of violence simply because of their use, then I would favor legalizing them as well."

I said that poorly.  I believe meth and angel dust DO significantly increase violence in people who take them.  I meant if it can be shown to me that I am wrong, I would not oppose legalization.  I don't have any real data to back up my belief, so I might very well be wrong.

Most would not which is part of the problem. There are others having to do with what is considered damaging to the community (gin-mills in Britain/US urban blacks) at large. I think you are being more honest than many I have run into regarding some of the downside.

No society can exist without proscribing some kinds of behaviour, and too often libertarians (or at least the noisy ones) tend to be the 'Your not the boss of me' sort.

Totally agree with this.  She is the only one who will be able to do it.   You all need to educate yourself on what she does in Alaska and be prepared to defend her to all the stupid and opinionated morons who come out swinging with their bias, addled and spongy brains that soak in a lot of nonsense, but can't disseminate what is true and untrue.  One of them happens to be the person I live with and he will continue to get bruised and bloody until he sees the light.

Flenser, I think you are conflating liberal potsmokers with "our" libertarians.

I'm thinking of the libertarian theorists. Most of the "libertarians" around here are just regular small-government conservatives who happen not to believe in God and are disinterested in abortion. In other words, not really libertarians at all.

What about those who desire liberty, in all its forms?

Who insist that we have the personal right to keep arms?

Who demand that the gov't not tap our phones/ read our email/ search our bank accts  unless they have a warrant?

Who believe that habeas corpus is an inalienable right, that the gov't can't imprison American citizens unless we get a court hearing?

 

When people like this are welcome in the GOP, I will rejoin.

Travis.  Yeah, the whole ordered civil society debate is a difficult one.  Of course giving people the right to go to hookers creates certain public health issues that don't exist to the same degree perhaps if you do not.  I admit there are good arguments for limiting liberty when it comes to certain things.  But the problem is, there are always arguments around to justify limiting liberty.  My only point is that there better be a DAMNED good reason to go around telling me I can't do something I have every right to do. 

Was pot illegal in early America?  It sure as hell wasn't.  

Even though I am in principle for liberty in all its forms I am not completely dogmatic about it and I accept that rational reasons for the state to proscribe certain behaviors exist.  I just want to be careful that the reasons aren't bullshit.  After all, the liberals think they have perfectly rational reasons for restricting your gun rights...

Posted by: doug

I actually agree with most of what you are saying. I think much of that can be short-circuited by devolving power to smaller communities who can do as they please. The problem with some libertarians is that they want the power of the state to force such communities to act as they want them to, and then go away. It doesn't work that way. I support the community standards idea, and think that if the federal or state government can stay out of a question, they should.

Libertarianism *can* be completely correct.

The problem has been that the capital-L movement has been hijacked by libertines whose immediate goals align a little too  well with the lefties who want to erode the fiber of our civilization to the point that their collectivist cowardice is mainstream.

It's like the koranimals' hudna.  If it's all right for them to lie to take advantage of our systems until they can force us to kneel before their version of Zod, then can you trust what any adherent of that ideology ever says?

Are the libertarians really advocating for seemingly libertine causes to advance liberty, or are they really collectivists in disguise who know that toppling the staid institutions of western civilization is the quickest path to their marxist utopia?

Take, for instance, the drug legalization thing:  Somebody (Travis, I think) upthread already asked about letting addicts die in the street.  It goes beyond even that.  Do you think an addiction should give somebody membership to a protected class under the overreaching of our civil rights laws?  Of course, you won't.  But my fear is real in the reality under which we live.  And, if I were a marxist sack of shit trying to bring this country to its knees, I would support drug legalization so that our retarded laws would strangle us.

I propose a simple test:  How willing is a particular individual to *force* other people to do any given thing for

1.  Their own good

2.  The good of others

3.  The good of the guy doing the forcing

Once you start thinking this through, the mind cannot begin even to grasp the fortune (or divine providence if that's the way you roll) that brought us our founding fathers.

the only problem is liberal trouble makers keep filing suit in Alaska against Palin anytime she leaves the state or does work for Republicans.  Most of the lawsuits are thrown out of court but I think the object is too bankrupt Palin to keep her from campaigning for the GOP.  Sad times we live in.
