Ed Krayewski on Four Issues Republicans Could Embrace in 2014 To Stay Relevant

2014 is another election year, with both Democrats and
Republicans hoping to exploit the others’ policy weaknesses to make
gains in the Congressional midterms. Democrats are being pilloried
for the disaster that’s been the healthcare website roll out so
far, as well as for President Obama’s numerous second-term missteps
and scandals. Republicans, in the meantime, are pilloried for
appearing to be obstructionists who are “out of touch” with the
American populace.

But image isn’t the Republicans’ only problem, or the biggest
one. The Republican party is already embroiled in what much of the
left relishes as a “civil war”; at stake is the ideological
direction the party will take. The division is largely drawn as
establishment (read: big government) conservatives vs. grassroots,
libertarian or movement conservatives. Ed Krayewski
recommends four issues Republicans could embrace to remain
relevant in 2014.
