The GOP needs more than that to attract regular voters, I agree.
But FReepers aren't supposed to be regular voters. They're supposed to be clued-in and conservative.
In other words, FReepers shouldn't need to be "attracted." They should already know how bad the Rats are. They should already know the Rats are much worse than the GOP, and that this is reason enough to keep them out of power. The only way to do this is to keep the GOP in power, or more precisely, in office.
Exactly the point! So, now you can imagine how the average American swing voter who is not so informed as a freeper must feel about the republican controlled government. Whether that feeling is misguided or not... it does not matter in the end when they come out and put their vote in the box.
If the base is very unhappy about the failed leadership of their party...you can multiply that unhappiness many times over for the non-partisan average American voter who is paying almost $4 a gallon for gas just to drive by illegals waving a mexican flag on his way to work to pay taxes to help support those illegals which our president claims are here to do the jobs that Americans wont do.
