GOP loses brand name
Club for Growth President Pat Toomey has a great write up about polling they did in numerous Congressional Districts. This one is a must read:
A poll commissioned by the Club for Growth in 15 key districts shows surprisingly severe damage to this aspect of the GOP brand (to see a summary of the results, see here). And it’s little wonder. From the last Farm Bill to the Prescription Drug entitlement to McCain-Feingold to runaway spending, Republicans in Washington stopped being the party of limited government sometime ago. And the American people noticed.
Once they lost their less-government, fiscal-discipline branding, Washington Republicans lost a big reason for their majority status.
I wonder if record-breaking spender Congressman Zach Wamp is listening?
