1. Don't let the crazies and sleazy become the face of the party.(Donald Trump, Todd Akin, Christine O'Donnell, et al.) Conversely, promote Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, and other intelligent, dynamic pols as the face of the party.
2. Focus on individual liberties and limiting government in citizens lives.
3. Leave the states to figure out how to govern themselves. Cut the Federal gov and return local control.
TexGrill, as long as there are places in the Republican Party where people get together and talk about "legitimate rape", the GOP will be seen as the intrusive and loony party. Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock found receptive audiences in some GOP circles for their ideas. Until the loons are told to hit the road, boils like those two and Trump will continue to pop up.
Marco Rubio? Really? I understand what you say about Todd Akin, but supporting the Leftist Marco Rubio isn’t a good idea either. How come you never mentioned Sen. Ted Cruz as someone to endorse?
