Bush Calls on Republican Party to Be Inclusive
New York Times United States
A major goal of Mr. Bush’s tenure was to make sweeping changes in the immigration system including creating a process to give legal status to those who lead productive and law-abiding lives in spite of arriving here illegally. Throughout the fight which he ultimately lost Mr. Bush and his Republican allies on immigration had warned his Republican opponents that they risked alienating immigrants particularly Hispanics.

ne is big government as embodied by Lincoln Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Barack bama. The other is small decentralized government as embodied by Thomas Jefferson Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. Democrats were once the party of small government and Thomas Jefferson founder of the Democratic-Republican Party but today they have become the party of ever-bigger government. If Jefferson returned today he would not support the Democratic Party. Republicans need to decide if they are the party of Reagan and Goldwater. If so then the GP ought to give Lincoln to the Democrats. And because Democrats cannot credibly embrace both the big government Lincoln and libertarian small-government Jefferson the GP should expropriate Thomas Jefferson as its new Republican Founding Father.

When all the pomp and circumstance is over it’s the politics and governing philosophy that is what is most important to the local GP. “I think legitimately we’ve kind of evolved into a two-party form of government so we can adequately look to secure the interests of all the citizenry although there will be political compromise and debate I expect that there will be an active forum for the next four years as we have a Democratic Congress and Democratic President” said Cox. “I think the Republican minority will let the administration and Congressional leaders know that the Republicans still represent 50 percent of the total population in the United States. When the Republicans were in charge they had to pay attention to the Democrats and so I think it’s all a healthy process.
Bill Would Tighten Voter Eligibility
Flathead Beacon MT
Joe Balyeat said the first-ever Republican presidential caucus held last year was restricted to party insiders because GP voters are otherwise not identified. If die-hard Republican voters had been allowed to commit to the Republican Party then the party could have allowed them to participate in the closed caucus. “This bill doesn’t force anyone to do anything it just says they can voluntary register by party if they so choose” Balyeat said. Neither bill received a committee vote on Monday.
