The problem with the Republican Party

Second of a series of three excerpts from “Resurgent: How Constitutional Conservatism Can Save America,” published by Threshold Editions of Simon & Schuster. Most would expect that a book written by two Republicans discussing the Constitution, history, politics and policy would lambaste the Democratic Party, and especially President Obama as the most liberal president in American history. They’re right; that’s exactly what we do.

But we also take our fellow Republicans to task. We’re loyal Republicans, but we’re compelled to criticize some in our party. We’re deeply concerned about the state of the GOP, and as such feel the need to sound the call that Republicans must return to our core principles.
