Ripon Society Holds Post-Election Briefing to Review Mid-Term Results
WASHINGTON, DC — The Ripon Society hosted a breakfast briefing on Thursday, November 4th to review the results of the mid-term elections and discuss the reasons Republicans had, electorally speaking, one of the most successful years in the history of the GOP. The breakfast featured some of the leading political minds in Washington, including: Congressman […]
“Simple, unadorned ‘opposition’ is mistaken, from both the policy and political perspectives.”
“Extending tax cuts isn’t a political slogan – it’s an economic necessity to our country.”
“We expect Republicans to be focused on the People’s agenda, not the party’s agenda.”
After a divisive election, the Maine Senator argues that Republicans must focus on the many issues that unite the party.
Working Together in a Partisan World
With Washington divided by the political extremes, the former New Jersey Governor makes the case for across-the-isle problem-solving.
A Recovery Shipwreck: Can it be avoided?
At one level, the politics and the economics of 2010 appear daunting. Pundits claim that the recent election will only divide government, the two major political parties can’t get along, and government shutdown will be the only real issue discussed.
Divorce and the Deficit Commission
Stacy relates the reasoning behind why voters divorced from the Democratic party to that of a marriage; “They divorced the Democratic Party over more than money. It was also the uncertainty caused by intrusive, coercive fiscal policies.”
Sandy discusses the underrated importance of the state of Michigan, pointing out a correlation between the state and the country as a whole saying, ” The challenges faced by this great American city and this storied state are the precursor to the challenges of our nation. As goes Michigan goes America.”
A Lesson in Job Creation from the Hoosier State
Jay discusses the success of Governor Daniels, and brings up the question of whether or not he will throw his hat in the ring of the 2012 Presidential elections. “During the last decade, Tommy Thompson and a crop of innovative GOP governors proved that some of the nation’s best policy innovation comes from the states.”
Republican Heart and Soul: The Definitional Battle for the 2012 Presidential Nomination
“In recent history, presidential aspirants win by leading ideological factions to dominate their party, while simultaneously attracting independents to their candidacies.”
The Coming Generational Shift on Capitol Hill
“When Republicans won control of the House of Representatives on November 2nd, it represented not just a partisan shift on Capitol Hill, but a generational shift, as well.”
“I believe that the people should control their own destinies, not the federal government, and I will fight for the fundamental values and rights on which our country was founded.”
