Michael Reagan weighs in on the "high-level" meetings among certain Republicans who are trying to figure out how to respond to the party's decisive defeat in this election. The question that Reagan poses, however, is whether or not these Country Club Republicans truly represent the values and opinions of the grassroots.They don’t. What they represent is the coterie who led the party into eight years of ignoring the traditions and principles of the party pursued so avidly by the Reagan administration, with which they have the effrontery to identify themselves.
They represent the big-government, big-spending Republican Party that turned its back on the grass roots, and to listen to many of them what the GOP needs to do is to do more of the same things that put us where we are.
I have news for them. They are not the Republican Party. They remain wedded to the idea that the party is a party of moderation -- the party that can’t make up its mind about what is right to do and what is wrong to do. So they try to come down in the middle.
They forget that Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president, warned us not to believe there “is some middle ground” between what is right and what is wrong...
Here's the rest of an excellent "call to arms" column.
