Tom Price’s conservative manifesto
February 3, 2009 at 6:52 pm by Scott Henry in NewsU.S. Rep Tom Price, R-Alpharetta, has submitted an open letter to conservatives via Peach Pundit that outlines his prescription for reviving the GOP. But, before you get too excited, be warned it’s pretty standard stuff:
-
Rep. Tom Price
Back to basics: The first step starts with a little bit of self-reflection and “re-learning” the core principles of conservatism. Only through understanding the past can our core principles be applied and developed into meaningful solutions to tackle the challenges facing America.
- Rebuild the party’s infrastructure and coalitions: There must be a specific focus on nurturing the grassroots, shoring up ties with existing coalitions and leading thinkers, and creating new infrastructure to meet the challenges of politicking in a new century.
- Remain unified and disciplined: Hostile Democrat majorities and liberal special interests are more energized than they have been in decades. Without unity and discipline, the differences between the two parties become blurred, and conservatives have every right to question allegiance to Republicans.
And so forth. Unfortunately for Georgia conservatives looking for guidance, Price ain’t exactly Newt Gingrich.
