George Will published an interesting column this week regarding the 2012 GOP candidates. He implores these candidates (mainly Huckabee and Newt) to get off the birther and other nonsense issues and tackle true problems of the day.
He is exactly right. If we as Republicans want to regain the White House, we need to develop sensible, free market alternatives to the President's agenda. Sadly we have buried our heads in the sand regarding key issues that matter (i.e. entitlement reform, health care, and climate change) and instead squander political capital on short term potshots such as the President's birth certificate. If we want to regain prominence and relevance then we need to offer solutions not rhetoric and govern not bicker.
As a side note Mr. Will narrows down the GOP field to five candidates including Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman, Jr.
