Though the GOP needs to remember their history .. they also need to look at the future
Otherwise they are just stuck
Unless the Democrats royally screw things up, the GOP is not getting congress back. In 2 years when the elections are held all we're going to see are images of iraq and corruption in congress. Then they're going ot say.. Is this what you want again? The GOP blew it.
Stop trying to find a Ronald Reagan clone would be a good start.
Yeah, let's look at the future - huge shortfalls in funding for Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid (and what happened in the last few years? We made the Medicare problem even BIGGER).
We have more and more people realizing that government needs to be smaller before its size reaches critical mass and people pay more in taxes than they take home - and the GOP made government BIGGER over the last few years.
Yeah, the GOP needs to look to the future and the problems awaiting us there THAT THEY MADE WORSE. And change course and try to reduce the scale of the problems.
