WSJ warnings on GOP revival

Republicans need more than just being the anti-Obama party. The GOP hasn't made any inroads in national polls.


The GOP needs some new ideas and it is unlikely that supply side economics will gain them any capital. The GOP needs a positive agenda rather than just being anti-tax, anti-immigrant, anti-minority or anti-health care.

Will the Republicans be able to govern after they win an election? No Republican president has balanced the budget since Dwight B. Eisenhower because the GOP spends lavishly on the Armed Forces and also cuts taxes. You can also count on multiple military adventures for a new GOP president to cut his or her teeth on.

The GOP could hardly be described as fiscally conservative. Can this old GOP mastodon learn some new tricks? Rightardia doubts it.
