Time for change

It would appear that Rep. Daniel Lungren is going to challenge House Minority Leader John Boehner for his leadership position. If Boehner is actually behind his party, he will do the right thing like Roy Blunt and step aside.

The thing that the GOP leadership needs to realize is that this election wasn't a referendum on Conservatism. A quick look at the number of state issues that went the way of conservatives should say that. What we should take away from the election is that it was a referendum on the direction that the Republican Party had taken.

I've been reading about Lungren, he's a moderate and much like Eric Cantor, who will replace Blunt, I'm not entirely sure that he is the man that the GOP needs in a leadership position at this point in history. However, if the last election has proven anything, it's that the current leadership should not remain in place, and certainly Lungren and Cantor could hardly do worse.

It's time for some fresh, new faces to lead the party out of the swamp that it's in. As I have said in my past blogs, there are a number of them out there who are rising to the top.

We've already seen some of the old guard do the right thing and get out of the way. Now it's time for Mr Boehner to do the same.
