Common-Sense Leadership

Apologies for the late post on this topic- I’ve been very busy the for last week. However, last week the Republican governors?seemed to decide on a strategy they think will win them elections next year and, if I may say so, it’s about time. As newly-elected Virginia governor McDonnell said, ?The focus should be on bread-and-butter, kitchen-table, quality-of-life issues…I think that really helped us. We ended up with a two-to-one margin with independent voters because of our focus on the economic problems.?

It’s about time Republicans and conservatives stopped worrying about gay marriage. Economic issues are not only the most important issue facing the country, they are more relevant to most people than two guys living together. Plain and simple. The governors are somewhat ignoring abortion, which is not good- it’s murder, after all- and gun control, but since most Americans are in support of gun ownership, I’m not too worried about that one. Once we get into power, then we can worry about those issues. After all, it’s not about being moderate- it’s about being conservative and appealing to moderates.
