Republicans Finally Stepping up?

It looks like our elected Republican leaders are finally starting to listen to Conservatives.
Via Redstate :
Not waiting for the RNC to lead, House, Senate, and Gubernatorial Republicans have decided to unite and form a new organization to speak with one message. It is very similar to that which Haley Barbour did in 1993-1994. In fact, Haley Barbour is involved in this effort.
Called the National Council For A New America, Congressional Republicans tell me they “hope that it will form the foundation of a concerted, policy-based forum to listen to, partner with, and empower the American people with ideas and solutions that speak directly to the needs of our great nation.” It is not, interestingly enough, a fund raising vehicle.
More importantly, the major players intend to get all the big players and big egos in the same room and on the same page to combat Obama with one voice. Hopefully that will last. While they are trying to cast it as bipartisan, I don’t think anyone is going to treat it that way. What people should see is Republicans recognizing the precariousness of their position and that they are committed to doing something about it.
That Bobby JIndal, Haley Barbour, Mitt Romney, and Jeb Bush have all signed on should be very encouraging to very many people.
In my opinion it is about time. We need to stop catering to the moderates and liberals and return to conservative principles.
