Go for wedge issues, Gingrich tells lawmakers
By Jonathan E. Kaplan
Former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) has advised Republicans to focus this year's presidential campaign on a few "wedge issues" in an effort to paint Sens.
...
Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) was less sanguine: "I did not hear [in Bush's speech at last week's dinner] what many conservatives were hoping to hear ... a compelling vision for Republican governance," an agenda that would include big-ticket issues such as Social Security and tax reform.
He added, "You can't beat a program without a program, and we'll win because our ideas are better."
So they're going with ignoring the elephant in the room, huh? Maybe nobody will think to point to it...
Wedge issues should be of minor concern to everybody with a wrongful war started by our commander-in-chief... But, maybe the political tactics will work if people continue to ignore blunders and believe what they are told to believe about serious issues... You never know... It just might work... But, let's hope not.
