I am pissed. The party of Reagan has lost his legacy. They have let him down and let me down. It will probably be a long, long time before Republicans gain power in Washington. There was no single candidate who could have possibly stopped the Democrats from taking the White House this year.
My advice?
Stop spending away our children’s future. The party of smaller government lost all credibility.
Defend conservative principles and stand up to liberal lunacy. Stop letting these insane attacks go unanswered.
Do not allow liberals to redefine and castrate our candidates. Bush=McCain, Sarah Palin=Tina Fey, Dan Quayle=moron, etc.
Stop resigning if a Democrat would not resign for the same reason. You hear me Newt? Trent? If John Murtha can stay, so can you.
Stop alienating Hispanics. There is no possible way to get elected if you lose the support of all minorities which you have. Reagan himself granted amnesty to illegals. He didn’t build a fence but he recognized the value these people have in our society and their desire for freedom and opportunity. I fear Republicans may have lost the Hispanic vote forever due to this hard line “deport them all” stance. They wouldn’t even vote for the author of the Amnesty Bill just because he was a Republican.
Go after the youth of America. Start getting conservative teachers into public schools and higher education. If teachers can drag kindergartners to gay weddings, they can also learn about conservative values.
Separate religion and politics. I thought John McCain handled this perfectly. I know this is a tough one for you to swallow, but quite frankly, much of the country associates the Republican Party with the Evangelical Christian Right and that scares away a lot of people who would otherwise agree with conservative principles of more freedom and less government. Unfortunately many people use their political positions to promote a religious agenda over a political agenda. Do we really want people to think they are not welcome to join us if they are not devout Christians? People do not like having religion shoved down their throats by politicians just like we don’t like actors telling us who to vote for. It is a personal matter and much of the country is in favor of the separation of Church and State as defined in the Constitution. We say we want a big tent, but at times we are not very tolerant of those who don’t have enough faith.
