There may be a looming disaster in the 2008 elections in November for the Republican Party. The recent defeat in the special election for the Republican Sixth Congressional District of Louisiana, where Woody Jenkins lost to Democrat Don Cazayoux is just the latest confirmation of the precariousness of the situation has become. Consider that a sixth congressional district of Louisiana had been occupied by a Republican for over three decades. It is a district that President George W. Bush won by 19 percentage points in the 2004 presidential election. The Republican defeat in Louisiana follows the loss of the former seat in Illinois Republican Dennis Hastert. That seat had been occupied by a Republican (except for one term during Watergate) for more than three quarters of a century. That district had favored George W. Bush by 10 percentage points in 2004. In fact, numerous public opinion polls tell a sad story for the 2008 GOP prospects. The current generic ballot for Congress according to a New York Times / CBS is 50 to 32 percent for Democrats. According to the New York Times / CBS, Americans disapprove of the job performance of Republican President George W. Bush 's by a margin of 63 to 28. A recent Gallup poll also had a very similar result. George Bush has been under an approval rating of the work of 40% since December 2006. It is the longest period of public disapproval of any president in the history of the vote. The problem the Republican Party is due to a loss of brand identity politics. In general, Republicans stood for less government, lower taxes and limited government spending. However, its performance history, while the power for the past eight years has been a total failure in most of these key areas. It is a failure that has compromised the Republican political brand. Note that the size of government under the Republican administration has skyrocketed. In the first George Bush five years in office, the federal government rose from $ 616 million. It becomes a big jump from 33 percent in the size of the federal government. In fact, the Republican Congress spent more than five times the amount of money spent during the second presidential term Democrat Bill Clinton. Despite costly congressional earmarks, George Bush not to veto a bill, while the GOP controls Congress. The result was rampant patronage spending that adds to price war and a controversial and expensive. In addition, the American public is aggravated each time you fill your car with gasoline. In 2001, the start of President George W. Bush 's first in the office, the price per barrel of oil was about $ 30. Last week the price exceeded $ 125 for the first time in the recording and Goldman Sachs has predicted a continued rise in prices in the near future. The price of gasoline at the pump has tripled over the past eight years. Management and planning issues have also hurt the Republican brand. The war in Iraq has never had a clear exit strategy, military, while Hurricane Katrina exposed the disaster management and planning federal incompetence. Moreover, the recent economic downturn has contributed to public opinion polls showing over 80% of Americans now think the country is on the wrong economic path. In general, it could be a recipe for disaster for the GOP in the House of Representatives and Senate in the 2008 elections this fall. Meanwhile, insurgent 2008 campaign of Republican Ron Paul continues to make news. The little-known Republican candidate received over 128,000 votes, or 16 percent of the votes of recent state of Pennsylvania Republican primary. In Nevada, enthusiastic Ron Paul captured control of the Republican state convention that leads to an abrupt cancellation of the event without electing any delegates. From the beginning, the campaign of Ron Paul has a passion for the positions based on the issues that the use of the U.S. Constitution as the basis for guidance. The passion and enthusiastic support to the insurgents' campaign has been really impressive. The campaign raised more money than any other candidate of any major political party in the fourth quarter of 2007. In fact, more than 130,000 contributors gave to the campaign of Ron Paul during the fourth quarter, including more than 107,000 new donors. On December 17, 2007, Paul's campaign raised a record six million dollars in a single day. Also, consider that Ron Paul's book, "The Revolution: A Manifesto 鈥 recently released, is already No. 1 on the list of Amazon.com 's bestsellers hardcover?. The Republican Party is in trouble because they lost their brand and identity politics. This is a party to the post only by the power that is intrinsic to being elected. After six years in the majority in Congress, the party has not shown the passion for a cause or a strong belief in an ideology that political guide. Even after the 2006 election victory of Democrat control of Congress changed, there has been no real mandate for change among Republican congressional leaders. In contrast, the insurgent campaign of Ron Paul is fast becoming a growing political revolution. The positions of the campaign in many of the most important are the positions that Republicans used to hold dear. In fact, it has a platform that can become a basis for renewing the current Republican party, a party that is currently void of new ideas, a party that will soon have to pick up the pieces in this year's November elections.
