There’s that word again….

From Instapundit:

AMERICANS SHORT ON REASONS TO TRUST: “There’s a connection between the Secret Service’s Colombian hooker scandal and Americans’ increased worry about Ebola. Both have to do with trust,” as I write in my latest USA Today column.

Trust. As in “Consistency breeds Trust yields Votes”.  Given the amount of distrust in Government that has been created in the last 8 years by this Democrat Administration, one would think this would an easy one for the Republicans to jump all over and….oh wait!

Yes, Houston, there is a problem.  Trust must be earned and given the amount of discontent in the base I see all over the blogosphere (yes, a self-selected folks that have opinions and keyboards but also with ears to the ground) and some of which I have been posting here (and yes, as messages to the base here in NH that others feel similarly as well as to the Elite in attempts that tell them enough with the antagonizing).

Who knows – for all my kvetching, it may not matter at all.  Yet, if the Party really wanted to win (versus just having Power) for the long term, wouldn’t it make sense to pursue that?  Or do we just see within the Party (and, I bet, in the Dem Party as well) the raw naked greed for Power that led the Founding Fathers to draw up the Constitution the way they did?
