We, as conservative intellectuals, should not be in the business of making excuses for bad parliamentary decisions by Republican leaders in Congress.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Governing was always difficult for conservatives, but as they return to the opposition, they are rediscovering their skill at blame evasion.
One of the big weaknesses of the Conservative Party is not just their ignorance of and lack of effective response to the cost-of-living crisis but a more fundamental error about what makes for success in the 21st century.
You could accuse Republicans of a lot of things, but you could never convict us of being too conservative!
In GOP land, apologies and resignations are never enough.
We're allowed to have had a private life before politics in which we make mistakes and do things we should not.
We need to be calling out the flaws and misguided decisions of the Democrats in Congress and the Obama administration.
The politics of partisanship and the resulting inaction and excuses have paralyzed decision-making, primarily at the federal level, and the big issues of the day are not being addressed, leaving our future in jeopardy.
The mistakes made by Congress wouldn't be so bad if the next Congress didn't keep trying to correct them.

By their own admission, leaders of the Republican Revolution of 1994 think their greatest mistake was overlooking the power of the veto. They gave the impression they were somehow in charge when they weren't.
