Being the party of no is not the answer. Having principles, and being positive about what happens when party members adhere to them is what will bring the next upturn in Republican representation.

Being the party of no is not the answer.

Funny, it worked for the Democrats from 2004-2008.

The Republicans should be out there fulminating against Obama every single day without hesitation--and pointing out repeatedly that there's not enough of them to stop him.

The public must associate anything bad that happens between now and 2010 as Obama's fault. The current GOP strategy seems to be a la Homer Simpson: "Let's just hide under a pile of coats and hope that everything turns out ok."

Actually, they should do both. But, when they do say NO, it must not be a policy wonk NO< It must be explained in a communicative way unlike the Bushies and insiders and explain the differences in easy to understand libertarian words. That way, the nation sees the differences and there still are some. Freedom is not in the Dem’s playbook. So, let the words battle begin with the best communicators from the GOP and make them young, attractive and high flyers not stodgy old timers.

Being the party of no is not the answer. Having principles...

In the face of this Marxist juggernaut which is our government, having conservative principles would absolutely make them "the party of no"
