What the RNC really talked about in Bloomington

Posted at 5:39 PM on August 7, 2006 by Tom Scheck (1 Comments)

Hotline's Blog is publishing a memo from Republican pollster Fred Steeper. He says the war on terror is the top issue among GOP voters:

Steeper concluded that the president's prosecution of the international war on terror -- and worries that Democrats will abdicate that responsibility -- are the single most active motivator for those surveyed. As Steeper wrote in his memo "A huge 87% of the Base expresses extremely strong feelings about one or more of these issues."

Impeachment talk, taxes and social issues are also big issues for the GOP base.

The problem for the GOP is that it is only their base who still think the GOP has done a good job prosecuting the 'war' on terror. They've won the last two elections on the "bomb them out of their hearts & minds" platform; it remains to be seen (and polls indicate otherwise) if they can win with such misguided policy and misdirection again.
