Conservative challenges | The Augusta Chronicle

By their own reckoning, conservatives have just a few months to get their act together; many believe if the Senate remains in Democrat hands, the country’s future is in serious peril.

If they truly believe that, conservatives need to mobilize, and now. They need to back promising candidates, even those whom they have reservations about. They need to vote. They need to be heard in the media – and turn away from those outlets that disrespect their views.

They need to find more telegenic spokesmen. They need to change how they communicate the tenets of conservatism. They need to relentlessly point out liberalism’s failures, especially in minority communities. They need to reach out to minorities and expand the conservative base.

And they need to completely repackage conservatism. Stop the dour preaching and start pointing out all the ways America will be better if it rediscovers the principles that built it. It’s a positive, triumphant message.
