The only fix jake thinks, and probably you is to become democrats, no way I would rather lose elections then to belittle the party. Besides, what really changed after the election? Rs still control the house and the dems have control of the Senate without a filibuster majority. Nothing changed no reason to become as them.
We can go back and forth about where the GOP should stand on the issues, but I'd think the first thing that should be examined is the way the message is being delivered. We have some in the GOP screaming "Nazi socialist Marxist commie" at every opportunity, others making absurd and unnecessary comments about rape and pregnancy, others essentially ignoring the burgeoning minority vote, and still others shoving "pledges" into the faces of their representatives, threatening to "primary" them if they are so crazy and un-American as to actually work with the other side.
As was said earlier, the GOP is making it too easy for the Dems to paint them as crazies, and that's even before we get deep into the issues.

WHO, WHO in the Republcian party is screaming "Nazi socialist Marxist commie?" Not some internet bloggers but someone actually working for or in the Republican party.
No, the only thing that will satisfy some is that Republican become as democrats, to that I say "nuts."
What the hell difference does it make if a crazy is "actually working for or in the Republican party"? Holy crap, pretty much all of the radio talk show hosts say it, pundits say it, blogger say it, writers say it.
Politics is about IMAGE, whether we like it or not. And right now, the GOP brand is broken. The party can ignore and divert, but that's why they couldn't beat a President who's sitting on an 8% unemployment rate. No excuse for that.
