GOP AUTOPSY REPORT 2013
American Principles in Action ^ | October 2013

Posted on 11/03/2013 9:28:07 AM PST by GonzoII

In October 2013, American Principles in Action (APIA) released an analysis of the 2012 election titled, “Building a Winning GOP Coalition: The Lessons of 2012″. This analysis stands in sharp contrast to the Republican National Committee’s report, “Growth and Opportunity Project”, popularly known as the “autopsy.”

“Building a Winning GOP Coalition: The Lessons of 2012″, takes a hard-headed, skeptical, and primarily political look at the lessons Republicans must learn from 2012 in order to build a winning national GOP coalition. It challenges the conventional wisdom that the national GOP’s loss in 2012 was a result of a focus on extremist social issues, which hampered candidates touting a winning economic message.

This document challenges the existing “truce model” and puts forward a case for integrated conservatism. We argue that social issues are winning issues, and that a winning economic message must address the concerns of middle-class voters.

For press inquiries please contact Kate Bryan, Director of Communications at 202-503-2010.

No. I’m surprised that tarring and feathering hasn’t yet made a comeback in this country.

Maybe it will, maybe it will. We can only hope.

The GOP is not perfect (duh!), but it is the sub-human filth known as the American voter who gave us a kenyan, Marxist

Your diagnosis would kill the patient doc.

Your electoral process became undermined and compromised decades ago, when both corrupt parties in D.C. aided and abetted and in fact forced the American people to pay for an epic illegal invasion of tens of millions.

What did ya think would happen to American history and your voting process when they rolled out the red carpet for upwards of 30 million illegals?

It was your corrupt government who subverted American history and made our sovereignty and things like American citizenship all but worthless.

It would be like flooding the country with hundreds of billions in counterfeit concurrency...Oh wait, they did that too and the dollar just becomes more and more worthless...

Time to reboot doc.

Uhh, the VOTERS out those obviously unAmerican cs’ers in office. The dems were proudly and openly unamerican for DECADES before flooding the nation with illegals, To this very day there are enough Americans to take back the US with a snap of our fingers, but too many os are sub-human filth who love dems and/or welfare.

That's odd, you initially suggested this was all caused by those voting for Obama:

"It is the sub-human filth known as the American voter who gave us a kenyan, Marxist"

Which is it?

BTW Mr. Doctor, Americans have voted for, protested, begged and demanded relief from this epic government sponsored invasion for decades... Where ya been?

You are clearly illiterate. To suggest that I laid the blame only on recent voters because I cited the kenyan as an example proves you need reading help. Your “point” is sad, pathetic, silly, ridiculous, and indicative of your diminished reasoning abilities. Let me type slowly so you can grasp it... The dems have been proudly, openly, and blatantly treasonous for decades, and Americans have been putting them in power for just as long.

Ya never noticed both the Dems and Republicans are all riding in the same limo?

Did ya miss the part where your own party lied to you 10,000 times, over and over and over as a matter of doing business?

You're part of the audience of fools, who never noticed you've been had and politically gang banged....

Gak...

I can see you have the IQ of Bic lighter.

Some people, like you, just can’t figure out they’ve been hoodwinked and conned.

Now go cheer on your entrenched corrupt political party in D.C., and blame innocent Americans for their gang rape of our electoral process, their treachery, betrayal and corruption.

See ya!
