Rush Limbaugh and other so called conservative talk show hosts ?

Fox news?

Religious extremists who think rape is ok?

It sure is not run by sane people now.

I am republican leaning socially liberal and fiscally conservative person. I beleive the following
1. Abortion should be legal in certain condition and left to woman to choose
2. Gay partnership is ok and should be given all rights
3. Government should be small with adequate power to regulate
4. Don't spend what you don't have
5. Every body should pay equal tax and taxes should be lowered
6. Everybody should be free to practice their religion
7. State and religion (church ,temple,mosque ,synagogue etc) should be separate
8. President should not be allowed to choose supreme court judges
9. Limit senate and house of rep elected official terms to 3
10. Cut down current government size
11. Get rid of all welfare schemes and redo it to meet 20th and 21st century.
And a few other wishes...

We need GOP to be redone..from grass roots.

1. Get rid of extremists who are parasites likes of rush, glen beck, Anne coulter etc..(they are in it for commercial reasons)
2. Put some young blood to party
3. Reach out to non white males
4. Think like a 21st century human being
4. Blacks ,Hispanics , Asians ,single women , youngsters are not born democrats .... They just become over a period of time. Understand this and address this.
5. For the love of god ..forget gays and abortion... It's the matter or law...if somebody does it illegally they get punished. Leve it to the religion and law enforcement. Abortion is not politics.
6. Stop treating fox news as the official outlet of republican party. Murdoch is just interested in his growth and share holders wealth. No for profit organization can do a justice to The cause of converatism which is designed for the good of this country.


Let's hope GOP wakes up.

In answer to the question in your heading, it's the same types that are in the democratic party, The big government types who want to raise you from cradle to grave. Lets hope We the People wake up!

The GOP won't wake up. Some Republicans have but as a whole it won't. Republican politicians are still terrified that the Tea Party will primary them out if they actually do anything that would help them win, and rightfully so since they will. Watch the same thing in 2016, a Republican running on deporting illegals, cozying up with Joe Arpaio, Glenn Beck and Donald Trump and making disturbing comments about rape.
