Ellis Washington puts forward the need for conservative leadership of the GOP (Grand Old Party) versus the GIP (Grand Irrelevant Party):
Where do we go from here? If economic projections and unemployment rates remain depressed a year from now, I think the GOP will be poised to retake both houses of Congress, rendering Obama a lame duck president into the 2012 election and almost assuring that a Republican will become the nation's next leader. That's why Obama is so desperately trying to pass his FDR welfare state legislation before the August recess.
Here's what the GOP must do:
- Like Reagan did 30 years ago when he ran against the bumbling socialist Jimmy Carter, get three or four policy platforms on economics, domestic policy, foreign policy and health care, and get behind a person who can best articulate this focused vision.
- We need candidates not intimidated by Obama's radical racialism. Any GOP candidate will be relentlessly demonized as racist, sexist, homophobic Nazi. Here is the GOP platform in a statement: Obama is a certified socialist with fascist tendencies. The welfare State he erected has destroyed our civil liberties and has made us all slaves of the federal government. The Democrats have ruined this country economically and made America a joke internationally. If elected, I vow to return America back to the Constitution.
- Any politician running on the GOP ticket that doesn't have the guts to spend 15 minutes in the crucible of "The Savage Nation" radio show in my opinion cannot and should not represent my country, because I would consider them cowards and duplicitous and therefore untrustworthy when it comes to zealously defending America's vested domestic and foreign interests.
- We need GOP candidates that can speak in the authentic voice of the American people –freedom, liberty, Natural Law, constitutionalism, limited government, anti-socialism, anti-welfare and an America-first foreign and domestic policy.

In conclusion, whether the GOP wins in 2010 and 2012, or the GIP loses in 2010 and 2012 will be a simple matter of determining which candidates can stand flat-footed without a teleprompter, without a deer-in-the-headlights look, without saying "uuuhhh," "aaahhh" or "you know," without vacuous rhetoric of bipartisanship or "my friends across the aisle." We don't need another Benedict Arnold, another Neville Chamberlain, another "Maverick"; no more Fords, McCains, Bushs or Upper Eastside, country club Republicans. This is war! Therefore, we need a wartime consigliore in the GOP to stop Obama's ruination of America, not an empty suit or a ventriloquist doll with lipstick, a tight skirt and a convoluted sports metaphor to explain simple questions. Enough is enough!
