Watching CSPAN just now, there's some kind of conservative Republican roundtable discussion on the hill playing from yesterday and I think probably sponsored by the Republican Study Committee, since outgoing chairman Jim Jordan is one of the panelists. Also Raul Labrador, and Tom McClintock, both friends and cohorts with Justin Amash on many issues.
Rep. Steve King of Iowa, known as a fairly conservative lawmaker, just was talking about why he felt Republicans couldn't win this year*–*and he said "What happened to the Ron Paul coalition?"
He basically went on to make the point that Republicans have to reach out to these folks and bring them into the fold.
A Winning Coalition
One of the great selling points of this election that we have is, look at where Ron Paul Republicans ran and how well they did.
Look at how many grassroots Ron Paul Republicans were put off by the treatment they received from the Romney campaign and the RNC! Consider how Romney might have won if we had been brought into the fold...
We have to be able to articulate, going forward, that liberty ideas and liberty activists are a NECESSARY part of any winning Republican coalition.
People like Steve King, honest conservative Republicans in positions to do something, are clearly listening.
I get it that some of you aren't Republicans, this isn't for you. This is for those of you who are staying in the GOP and working that way. We can all do our own things, I understand some of you don't want to be in the party.
