I agree that Republicans must go back to being conservative.

I don't agree that they failed because they became pro-business. An
economy liberated from undue government interference will prosper,
provide employment, and create wealth.

Repubs failed because the leaders became dishonest. While Dems are
comfortable with graft and sleaze (Obama and Reid being prime
examples) the Republican base isn't. People like Cunningham, DeLay
and Abramoff hurt us more than Obama.

We need a party that stands for honesty, integrity, free enterprise,
individual responsibility, and minimal interference with business, the
economy, and our lives.

I agree with this with one possible exception. I understood pro-business by Nate's post to mean actively pro, with subsidies etc. I believe we should not interfer in business at all, beyond the bare necessities for safety, etc.

I couldn't agree more. The purpose of taxation should be solely to finance the government. Using taxation/incentives/mandates is an abuse of the power of government.

It's like the incredibly stupid promise by Obama to give me a $3,000 tax credit for any new full-time employee I hire. Does this inexperienced non-manager have the slightest idea how much a new employee costs me before he becomes productive? Doesn't he realize that every time he mandates fringe benefits (insurance, min wage, etc) all he does is incentivize me to seek less expensive alternatives such as automation and going offshore?

But, not to worry, Divine Inspiration will guide him.
