Rasmussen on the GOP base becoming ‘more palatable’

Feb. 15, 2013 1:42pm Eddie Scarry

Scott Rasmussen, founder of Rasmussen Reports, writes today on the split within the Republican Party. He says for both its base and its establishment, ” there’s plenty of learning to go around”:

To end the party’s civil war, both sides need to change. The Republican base needs to make its message of limited government more palatable to more Americans. Bigger fixes are necessary for the party establishment. Right now, it acts as if only cosmetic changes are needed. …

As for the GOP base, sincere talk about limited government clearly doesn’t work. Not enough voters care about limited government as a goal unto itself. People care about the kind of society a limited government can create. Too often when Democrats propose an idea that sounds good and addresses a perceived need, Republicans say it’s not what the Founders would have wanted. From a messaging perspective, voters want to hear positive solutions rather than theoretical objections.

Very good advice. Remember, the education system has stopped teaching History so many young people and new arrivals to our country don’t know what the GOP means when they use terms like “limited Government”. It would be better to say, We need a country where anyone who wants, can start a business of his own and not be impeded by too many Gov regulations or high taxes which prevent him from making the profit needed to expand and hire more employees. In this country, everyone has the opportunity to prosper. The amount of wealth one can make is not limited only to a few. We as a society can live a better and more prosperous life due to the freedoms we enjoy, that only a Government that has grown too large by taxing and regulation, can take away. Two hundred and thirty-seven years ago, a group of men crafted the laws that would govern our country, known as the Constitution, and the group of men signed it into law. These men are referred to as our Founding Fathers. In the Constitution, they made clear that God has given us our rights. Not the Government, and the Government should not infringe on these God given rights or take them away…
