I am also on the Glocktalk forum and the folks there are still hoping to see Paul Ryan next election. I mean really?!!!
And Allen West! :what::what:

Guess many Republicans still haven't learned. Those two are just giving the Dems another 4 years.
ron paul was anti war and he has a little history of having WN views, they had to blackball him, he's a easy target by dems, especially with those racist letters to blacks.

dems would have a field day

The GOP is in no danger of 'disappearing' anytime soon; another ludicrous remark.
When the democrats sweep the House in 2014 President Obama will make a $15 minimum wage a top priority. Unions support this.

It is not fair for someone to make over a million dollars per year while most others only make $8 per hour.

At least that is what I'm told.

They just need to drop the whole social conservatism and focus on just the fiscal part. They'll somewhat loose support of the evangelicals, but come election day, they'll still get that vote, it just means that the evangelicals will do what everyone else does - grudgingly choose the lesser of two evils, which in their mind will be the republican.

It is a new generation of America. The old ways are dead and gone. The country is moving FORWARD™...it is time for the Republican party to move forward as well.

- Secure the border

- Repeal NAFTA ..redo all trade deals

- Let the Democrats put citizenship for illegals on the table. Then add a bill that would compensate legal citizens for loss of income, discrimination, crime, etc...because of illegal immigration.

Default If the GOP doesn't want to disappear the party MUST become another democratic party.

If fat people don't want to die, they must become thin people. (hint - thin people die too, we all do)

If meat eaters don't want to disappear, they must become vegetarians.

If white people don't want to disappear, they should stop having bi-racial marriages/relationships

If dogs don't want to disappear, they should become cats.

Shall I go on?

No, OP, the way the GOP wins back anything is to stop shutting out and disenfranchising their own.

They alienated a very large voting bloc for what they did to Ron Paul. I don't give a rat's backside what anyone's opinion about Paul happens to be, the fact of the matter is, there was a large following for Paul, the GOP played some nasty, dirty tricks and those people in turn did NOT support the GOP nor Romney.

I had a chance to write in...guess who I did not vote for. I'm Republican but after what the GOP did to Paul, the GOP can kiss my ass until they clean themselves up.

THAT is how the GOP can get back in the game, by becoming TRUE conservatives, NOT by becoming another lame Dem party.

That accusation was false though.

Conservatives lost on Tuesday because they weren't progressives. Therefore the only way to win is to become progressive. That is pure logic.

The racist letters were untrue.

He should be anti war. We can't keep going to war! What is it with Republicans and this thought train? We are BROKE for one. How does going to war help our foreign policy? Why do you think the world sees as crazy bullies?

He is against unjust wars. Not war period.
