I was sitting here listening to Mark Levin and he made a good point. What does the Republican party stand for anymore? It stands for getting their butts elected. That is all. You have people on Fox saying that we should drop our tough stance on abortion so that we can get a Republican elected as president “next time”. That isn’t the problem you idiots! The Conservative always wins! At least they do when the RNC is forced to back them. Stop watering down our values to get elected it’s that simple! It doesn’t get people elected. They gave that fat dope Christie centerstage and shunned Palin at the RNC convention. All Christie did was talk about himself and than proceeds to stab Romney in the back with hurricane Sandy. The Republican establishment refuses to learn!
Exactly! When republicans win, they 'reach across the isle'. When republicans lose, they 'reach across the isle'.
Obviously, the reason is they don't CARE if they win, because it isn't about he country, it's about the election.
Only an observation...but the chief sales point for a Democratic campaign is to divide everyone up and go for your special cause (being a woman, a union guy, a black, a Latino, a university kid, etc).
I believe in the end...Republicans have to grasp that they have to round the divisions back up and convince them that jobs, the economy, and success in life...isn’t determined by your special cause. In four years...blacks will still see a 30-percent unemployment rate for black kids 18-25 without a college education. In four years...a university grad will be standing there with $75k in debt and wondering how this $38k a year job will ever allow him to pay that off.
Republicans have yet to craft a message that draws people into one focused group.
