Michael Steele, CEO of GOPAC, diagnoses the Republican Party in The Wall Street Journal.
Most Americans today see a Republican Party that defines itself by what it is against rather than what it is for. We can tell you why public schools aren't working, but not articulate a compelling vision for how we'll better educate children. We're well equipped to rail against tax increases; but can't begin to explain how we'll help the poor. We exclude far better than we welcome.
This was borne out in John McCain's campaign which spent most of its time on false and misleading attacks on Barack Obama. McCain had little to say about what he was for other than vague platitudes like "victory in Iraq" and "change is coming."
