What the Moderate Republican Stands For
Republicans came to power as the party of big ideas, and without returning to that model they could be looking at a long winter. Additionally, those big ideas need to focus on Middle America. Three issues that could work are conservation, reform and localism.
Conservation- a return to the Teddy Roosevelt model of conservation. One doesn’t necessarily have to buy into global warming to appreciate the need to protect the natural resources we have.
Reform- the federal government is bigger than ever, and won’t be getting any smaller over the next four years. Republicans need to fashion themselves as national reformers. Much of Middle America wants the government as safety net, but bloated bureaucracies breed corruption that needs to be dealt with.
Localism- this is the lynchpin that brings it all together. If we bought our food locally, shopped locally, governed locally, many of the issue we now have to deal with would go away, or at the least become manageable.Below is a collection of writers who speak about the things that matter. Some are Right, some Left and some Center, but all intelligent and rational voices.

Virtually all of the moderate Republicans along the eastern seaboard were shown the door during the midterms. I think that's a telltale sign that when voters are given the choice between the real deal (a Democrat) and a watered down Republican, they'll opt for the real deal everytime.
What's more, simply running on the good old tax cuts platform isn't going to cut it. We need MAJOR spending reform at ALL levels of government. We also need to reign in the Federal Reserve's incessant desire to simply print money thereby causing massive inflation. Until we get that, all the tax cuts in the world aren't going to amount to squat.
