One thing not mentioned when it comes to “healthcare” is the need for tort reform. Additionally, even many Libs hate lawyers, so let’s use the lawsuit mess against them, and mention the Tort Tax we all pay for many things.

Fire 10% of the federal government staff on the first day in office. The 10% more each year.

John Mc Cain won because Huckabee lied and discredit Mitt Romney and he writes a brook on do the right thing—it would be nice if old Hucbeea bs. would do that once in a agreat while.

So now our youth are stuck with the inept, con artist, used csr salesmenm community, non-u.s citizen Obamination.

Oh well we need a democratic majority once in a while to not vote one of them in for a hundred years after they mess up everything, being the boobs most of them are

dungeon full of rabid hyenas.Do that, and the party will prosper.

1. Have personal convictions.
2. Proclaim those convictions loud and clear and vote on them.
3. Expose fraud and dishonesty.
4. If you have no convictions beyond making money get the hell out.

A good starting point to reform the Republican Party is to stop supporting it financially. The money the RNC and the state parties spent on candidates like Lincoln Chaffee, Jim Jeffords, Chuck Hegel, Susan Collins, Olympia Snow, and Specter was and is a total waste given one cannot tell the difference between their positions than those of a Harry Reid. Why elect these closet leftists when you can vote for the real thing. It is a lot cheaper for the hard working and honest people who call themselves Republicans and surely not as frustrating.

I keep seeing the same things being profferred by the opposition: dump the religious stuff. I get it. the youth of today are not very religious. They are socially Liberal, because they’ve been indoctrinated that way. They lack experience, wisdom, and knowledge of history. So therefore, we should change our principles, because the Libs have been successful at undermining the values of our country. We should just cave in.

This is a ridiculous idea.

You don’t just abandon what’s right just because the youth have drifted away from it. We’re the adults here. The youth don’t tell us how to think. We tell them how to think. In time, with experience, they come around. Obama will provide that experience in short order, God bless him. Conservative beliefs will make a comeback for the next 20-30 years, then the process will repeat itself with the next young and stupid generation.

Anything else is just winning in order to rule, rather than winning in order to accomplish specific things. This is the reason the Pubs have suffered, because those elceted are more interested in getting re-elected than in accomplishing the goals of the party.

I thought this essay was very thoughtful and mostly right on. I do disagree with the idea of reaching out (2). Instead of that, sell the original American ideology, which embraces most conservative principles. Insist on an uncompromising adherence to the U. S. Constitution. A party that advertises and argues principles that promote Freedom, Liberty, and Free Enterprise will attract people. It won’t have to reach out to groups.

Here’s a thought. Dump Bush. Well, I know he’s already gone, but fess up and admit he was bad for the party. A 400 Billion dollar Medicare expansion is not a small government idea. Many of his troubles related to his horrible PR. He rarely defended himself, and when he did speak (admit it) he sounded like an ignorant hick. Sure, some of his speeches were brilliant, but too many would hear “nuculur” and start sniggering – at least a little. Finally, I’ll just say two names: “Ramos and Compeon” Pathetic. If you don’t know the story, and are looking for a little cheap enragement, look it up.
I say chuck the entire platform and go libertarian. If the party stopped kissing the butt cheeks of the evangelists (where else are they gonna go?), we could pick up a lot of crossover votes.
Number one. The party that believes in freedom should stop putting people in jail for smoking pot. Hey, you wanna keep heroin of the table, I can see that, but it is unwise to say the least to alienate a portion of the population that is bigger than (for example) the fanatically loyal gay and black vote.
