Political Quote of the Day

From El Rushbo on his Monday show (h/t Don Surber):

“What happened starting Saturday — actually, CPAC started on Thursday, but what culminated with my speech on Saturday at CPAC was the reawakening of a huge sleeping giant that is ready to rumble, and that is American conservatism, which is found in the Democrat Party, it’s found among independents, and it’s found in the Republican Party.

“More Americans live their lives as conservatives than you would believe. They don’t get their paychecks and walk down the street and say, ‘Hi, you want some of this?’ They’ll vote for people who will do it for them, but they’re trying to raise their kids right and make money, save money. They’ve got morality and values, most of them, not all, but most, they may not vote that way, but they live that way. They’re waiting to be awakened and that awakening has started. The pressure is on the Republican Party to be more Democrat Party-like, and too many Republicans in Washington want to make that happen. Well, just the opposite is going to happen. The sleeping conservative giant has been awakened here. It’s a beautiful thing.”

Conservatism works every time it's tried. The problem is the Republicans haven't tried it lately.

Maybe that's starting to change.
