GOP on the Right Path

Did the Republican Party learn anything from their resounding defeat on November 4th? Perhaps so. According to TheCurrentAffairs.com, the GOP is not only reaching out to their members for ideas on how to improve the party and it’s message, but they are doing it via the internet.
“We are a party of principles and must regain our voice,” Republican National Committee chairman Robert Duncan said in a statement announcing the creation of the website, RepublicanForAReason.
The “party of principle” part might be negotiable in light of the past eight disasterous years resulting from the Bush administration, but the need to regain their voice is certainly true. And soliciting ideas over the web is more likely to attract the interest of younger voters- a must if the GOP wants to survive beyond the current baby-boomer generation that creates the base of the party.
Of course, the real question is, “Will they listen?”. Throughout the primary season, internet phenomenon, Dr. Ron Paul, consistently cried out for the Republican Party to return to it’s small government, balanced budget, non-agression, pro-Constitution roots. He was roundly ignored by the GOP powers-that-be.
If Republicans truly want to see a change for the better in their party, don’t bother with the not-so-impressive new site. Go join your local Republican Party executive committee and start making a difference at the county and state levels.
Become the base. Become the leaders. Become the party.

WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP, republicans the party of principle? More like the party that LACKS PRINCIPLES. Don’t blame your republican puppet, Bush, blame Raigan and the on-set of REPUBLICAN GREED. Republicans could never relate to the needs of the working class, because all this party cares about is his, hers, mine and screw the rest.
Maybe John McCan’t should lead by example and start selling off his 7 houses and living a more DEMOCRATIC lifestyle, 1 home, 1 car maybe 2 and a significant lowered annual salary of about $40,000.00, just like the majority of American Citizens do.
Hoo rah.
It’s up to us.
Shana, this is a friend of yours telling you gently to learn the lessons of history. What happens when we organize and try to take back the GOP? They walk out. Even if we win, we lose. We will never take back the GOP.
I found my local Republican Liberty Caucus through the Campaign for Liberty…got involved in that and went to my first Republican Executive Committee Meeting tonight!
