Katon Dawson explains what went wrong with the GOP:
Our elected officials, candidates and party leaders dutifully repeated the principles of our party, but once in office, too many abandoned those principles. Whether it was abandoning our commitment to fiscal responsibility, turning a blind eye to serious character flaws in some of our candidates, or providing a handout to big business at the expense of the American taxpayers, we seemed to lose the courage of our convictions. As President Reagan’s speechwriter Peggy Noonan has been quoted, "part of courage is simple consistency."
So here is the solution:
There are several steps that we must take to renew, reform and restore the greatness of the Republican Party.
Renew our commitment to our Party’s timeless principles…by reconfirming our commitment to be the party of smaller government, lower taxes, individual freedom, strong national security, respect for the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, the importance of family and the exceptionalism of America.
In South Dakota, the GOP attacks the family of those who are committed to "smaller government" and "lower taxes". Does the SD GOP have the courage to go down the road of reform and say no to the liberals?
