We Need a Map To Get Out of This Mess

For Republicans, the road map authored by Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin is the most important proposal in domestic policy since Ronald Reagan embraced supply-side economics in the 1980 presidential campaign. It's not only the freshest, boldest, and most comprehensive Republican thinking, it's also the most relevant. If Republicans adopt the road map as their basic ideological blueprint, it offers them the prospect of a landslide in the midterm election this year, followed by victory in the presidential election in 2012...

Fred Barnes' article ("Republicans Should Embrace Paul Ryan's Road Map") in the Washington Examiner is a very important one for conservatives to read...and heed. Because it's not enough to jeer at Democrats, no matter how deserving they are of our scorn. The country is in deep trouble and real solutions are needed -- solutions that go to the heart of the problems and not merely to the next election cycle.

Very good stuff.
