The Party of No?

In a CPAC panel billed as a discussion of the future of the conservative movement–Bay Buchanan and Wall Street Journal editorialist Steven Moore spent a good deal of time criticizing President Obama’s newly released budget. And Moore doesn’t seem to mind the GOP being “the party of no.”On the president’s budget: “I feel sick to my stomach,” said Moore. “This is a declaration of war against the conservative movement.”It wasn’t quite enough for at least one audience member, though, who asked how the GOP can shed that “party of no” moniker. But Moore seems to like the label, asking “what’s wrong with that?” Shane D’Aprile is senior editor at Politics magazine. sdaprile@politicsmagazine.com
