Republican Strategy Showing Big Gains
As regular readers of my blog know, I am a huge collector of Precious Moments figurines. The ones that I truly appreciate are the rare limited edition ones. This week, I immediately bought 6 copies of Our Love is the Bridge to Happiness. Normally, I would only buy one for the empty spot on top of my mantle, but this particular figurine is a limited edition. Because it is rare it is seen as a status symbol. That’s why whenever I am flirting with a woman I never fail to mention to her about all the rare precious moment figurines I have. Hopefully, this will one day lead to an opportunity to show that woman the figurines for herself.
Just like Precious Moments, The Republican Party has made a move in the right direction by becoming rarer itself. We have now become an elite party. When there were all sorts of moderates running around like Arlen Specter or Gerald Ford anybody could be a Republican. Now, it takes strict adherence to very rigid principles that most people in public office could never do–either their empathy or their intellect would get in the way. That is why even though we are leaner, we are now more powerful than ever. Everybody now knows, if you’re a Republican you are elite.
Soon, people will reallize what an elite brand we are and when that happens we will be in great demand like any limited supply. This will help us in elections because while not everybody can own a Ferrari, that won’t stop ordinary people from wanting to. Voting Republican will be a new status symbol. As an added bonus, we have a very unified message. When we were larger, nearly half the party thought Bush was taking the country in the wrong direction. Now that that half of the party is gone, I’d wager that all the remaining Republicans approve of the job Bush did or see him as too liberal. It is much easier to stay unified and on message with a smaller group. The moderate purge must continue until we become even more elite. Only then can we really lead.
