And look who loves it<\/a>, by the way.<\/p>\n\n\n I very much appreciate the RNC’s stance on immigration reform.

Bush’s team, Ari Fleischer. Only one member seems to have any grassroots credibility<\/a>.<\/p>\n This is a pretty vanilla report. That would be fine because that’s what these things are. The problem is the RNC hyped it as some important moment in the history of the GOP’s renewal. Once again, they are over promising and under delivering. Stopping that bit of terrible marketing would be a major step in the right direction.<\/p>\n The best advice to the RNC? Get out of the beltway bubble.<\/p>\n\n\n #GOPAutopsy<\/a> advice for @reince<\/a>: Whatever seems like a good idea to DC Beltway dwellers, do the OPPOSITE if you are looking for what we want<\/p>\n — GWardHome (@gwardhome) March 18, 2013<\/a><\/p>\n \n\n\n Want to take a real step towards fixing the GOP?
