Please read my post#33.
But my important point is, if GOP is gong to win again,
there should be a clearly defined agenda item by item.
Included amongst that must be reduced government spending,
incentives for job creation, education vouchers for increased competition, election reform to reduce fraud, strong defense, strict restrictions on abortion, prison reform, and of course tax cuts.
I just finished reading the second edition of "The FairTax" and if implemented, would cause jobs to come pouring into the U.S. and the FairTax would be the tax cuts.
As for education vouchers or school choice via some sort of rebate to allow parents to pick whatever school works best for their children is going to come up against armed resistance from some very powerful groups that will scream bloody murder over that. They need to keep the liberal/socialist/humanist indoctrination of children under their control. Look how home-schooled children are making fools out of them. They exert great power to shut them down.
"Election reform" I've been a member since the 2000 election and the 'stolen Gore election and Florida and all... and Freepers and many nation-wide were calling for a "never again" to that fiasco and demanding comprehensive voter registration and voting reform. Some new machines here and there, but even they can't be trusted. Now since ACORN has made the scene un-checked and not all that aggressively investigated...fraud allowed by judges and right in our face... What reform since 2000? Eight years should have done it.
"Abortion"? People voted against gay marriage in CA, but voted to keep their abortions of ever kind without notice, Colorado too and some other states. The voters want their abortions. Even so-called Christians voted for pro-abortion candidates.
"Strong Defense"? Didn't you know that many have forgotten September 11th 2001? They're war weary "spending 10 billion a month on the unnecessary Iraq war"
I can see reforming the party and candidates, but not the electorate.
