What Should The GOP Do? "Die"


A NEW PARTY IS NEEDED TO PROTECT AMERICAN TAXPAYERS, FREE MARKETS AND INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES

In the wake of U.S. President Barack Obama’s reelection this week there are plenty of columns out there offering unsolicited advice as to what “Republicans” need to do in order to to reclaim their electoral relevance.
“Don’t run to the middle,” “run further to the middle,” “nominate a minority,” “don’t talk about abortion,” “collaborate with the Democrats …” etc., etc., ad infinitum.
The advice is pouring in from all corners as America’s new perpetual minority party contemplates yet another rebranding.  And the mainstream press is eating it up, too.  In fact this week we saw a Facebook post from our old friend Aaron Gould Sheinin – a reporter with the Atlanta Journal Constitution – seeking comment from GOP operatives regarding their thoughts on “the party’s path forward.”
Naturally we’ve read all of these exercises in hand-wringing and blame-shifting before – and we’ve heard all of this advice before.  In fact in years past we’ve actually written a few columns instructing Republicans on steps they could take to improve their electoral prospects.
“Having forsaken the lower tax, limited government ideals they were sent to Washington to defend, Republicans all across the nation are facing some serious time in the wilderness,” we wrote in 2008, adding that GOP voters should insist on nominating “candidates with a proven track record of protecting the taxpayers’ best interests.”

The GOP would do well to reconcile their political positions with the facts. Same goes for Dems.

Sadly the media will cover for him and those that need to know, won't.

The GOP needs to compromise on things that don't sacrifice their ideals but hold strong about spending and health care. We need to put better candidates out at the national and gubernatorial levels.

Whats funny is none of the GOP clowns can seem to get their story straight. On the one hand "Obama killed the economy" but on the other hand all these people that are on welfare (lost jobs, working poor, retirees) are just "lazy" and "want to be taken care of".
