Conservatives: Irrelevant By Choice, Not Mistake

A spokesmen for the Republicans, Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), who is expected to join the House Republican Leadership as Minority Whip, finally realizes how out of touch his party is. And it only took 2 historically horrible election cycles to figure it out:

“Where we have really fallen down is, we have lacked the ability to be relevant to people’s lives. Let’s set aside the last eight years, and our falling down in living up to expectations of what we said we were going to do,” Mr. Cantor told The Washington Times in his district office outside of Richmond. “It’s the relevancy question.” […]

“It’s the roads, it’s going to the gas station, that’s still there when the price will bump back up. It’s education, it’s health care. These are the issues, frankly, that we have not been on offense with,” he said.

It's not quite the mistake Cantor makes it out to be, it was deliberate the way Conservatives ignored these issues.
