Guess who’s still talking (and telling the GOP to turn “Hard a’Port!”)? Yep, it’s Obama Voter (and New York Times house “conservative”) David Brooks, who uses his formerly-coveted space in the Times today to tell Republicans that actually returning to a platform based in promoting fiscal conservatism and opposing radical, unprecedented borrowing/spending and government expansion is “totally misguided.”
Thankfully, GOP leaders appear to be wisely ignoring his “advice.”
Brooks, like David Frum, is a faux-conservative pundit who inexplicably claims that the way for the Republican party to succeed is to become a poor imitation of its Democratic opposition. Of course, Brooks — a self-proclaimed “moderate” — voted for that Democratic opposition this past November, despite the GOP nominating a “maverick” moderate who should have been not only palatable, but exciting, to a person like Brooks.
The House GOP is finally getting back on track, as evidenced by its unanimous opposition to the $1,000,000,000,000.00 pork-laden “stimulus” bill, its fiscally-responsible counterproposals to Democrats’ runaway spending plans, and its pledge to work with President Obama to reduce spending, cut waste, and improve transparency.
