Stop the “New Coke” Republicans
The Republican Party has been a bit schizophrenic lately. If not that, at least it’s suffering from an identity crisis. What causes this? Well, mostly, it’s losing elections and not knowing why.
There are two camps in the Republican Party. There are the deep-rooted conservatives who think we’ve forsaken God and the Constitution and that the wages of sin are a plummeting DOW.
Then there are the “Big Tent” Republicans who think that the Bible Thumpers are scaring those who might otherwise be amenable to the Republican cause, hindering attempts to lure those conservative Democrats over by poo-pooing Socially Conservative ideas. These are the prevailing Republicans that are active today. Although they view themselves as “Big Tent” Republicans, in reality they are trying to be the “New Coke™” Republicans. That is, they figure if they behave a little more like Democrats (i.e. “Pepsi™”), they would increase their chances of election.
