Who would believe them at this point...
Republicans need to go back to the Contract with America Days. Another Contract with the following points will help save the party and the country.
1. Commit to a Balanced Budget.
2. Commit to radical reduction of the national debt.
3. Commit to government's gradual exit from the free-market place.
4. Commit to Immigration Reform. Two year path to citizenship for all current illegals with the clock starting ASAP. After two years deport. Secure the borders.
5. Pro-Life through changing people's hearts and minds.
I don't recognize the current GOP.

That is a good list, I approve. In reality, however, this is what will happen to revitalize them:
1. Watch the Democrats gain control of the House, Senate and White House.
2. Wait 2 Years.
step 6. get a candidate that doesn't constantly repeat that ing story about eisenhower at normandy.
Oh, you will hear it and you will like it.
in actuality your types help your party, because it gives the dumb dumbs on the right hope.
but in all seriousness, he told that ing story AGAIN this morning.
palin has nowhere to go but up, and i hope she does well tonight. and if they should win, i hope mccain kicks the bucket because we don't need ancient history to run this country.
it wasn't a compliment. McCain's war hero stories on honrable and he shouldn't be ashamed to use them as evidence he cares about this country. People like you who crap on him brings the democrat party down enough where it doesn't require all that much effort for the republicans to win.

you're doing a disserve to our country.
yeah, he was at normandy. good take 2cent. with any luck we can kick back and beg him to tell a story about the "trench wars" because all that old has so much to do with now.
you've been breathing too much air from his gas bag.
It'll take more than 5 steps to fix the republican party.
If they just had a solid plan to do #1 they'd be more than halfway to getting my vote.
Same thing for the Dems... those damn en lement programs make me sick. I think all forms of welfare/government handouts should be overhauled and re-examined.

Thats my biggest gripe. Give these ers a timeline or something to ge their straight or you take that crap away. I live in the city and it sickens me when I see my other neighbors getting up early having to go work when I;m coming in from work, and seeing the handoutess getting up around noon having a grand ole time just walking the streets, dancing, whatever besides being productive.
There needs to be an overhaul of the Republican party and no one wants it more than me. Its hard to hold views that are so off kilter from one party and actually feel satisfied when I allign myself with either party. I want the Republicans to balance out the horrible notions Dems have and I want Dems to do the same. But for that to happen both parties have to be at the top of their games and thats simply not the case right now.
They both actually suck right now, but the Republicans suck a good deal more.
no, those five steps would dominate the political landscape. protecting your right to have sexual flings isn't all that important imo.
why are republicans so fixated on 's?
Almost my thoughts exactly. Except I think we'll be waiting 4 years. Dems will be able to use the blame Bush excuse long enough to hold the house one more round.
Republicans have lost their way, power corrupts. Getting their ass kicked thoroughly is the only way they'll return to being the reform party.
Dems don't have a chance long term. We'll be in at least a shallow recession for two years, probably longer with the Dems able to do what they want. Foreign investors are saying it will probably take 10 years for them to really have confidence in wall street again so the lack of foreign money will be a strain also. Iran is feeling bold and will move more aggressively on nucs plus I just saw a report they are working on a long range ballistic missile. Putin will look into Obama's eyes and see a pussy.
No matter who is in the white house the next four years are going to be The Carter Years Revisted. So now I say think long term and say Go Obama!
"those damn en lement programs make me sick"
but
$600B to be blown every year on the military
$Bs in tax breaks/subsidies for the super rich and corps
$Bs in tax breaks/subsidies for the farmers
etc, etc.
... are all ok with you.
Fixated on Same Sex Marriage is more accurate. The day after same sex marriage is the law of the land the ACLU will start filing lawsuits against churces to force them to perform same sex marriages. The day priests, rabbis, pastors & preachers are forced by the government to perform something they think is a sin in the eyes of god is the day bashing becomes really popular again.
Not all. Defense spending is too low. Low taxes I like. Dems & Repubs both do the farmer thing. I'm not to fond of it but then again I like food and I like it cheap.
what day is that going to be?
i should have asked why republicans are such alarmist. how can they function having to lug around so much fear?
I'll believe it when I see it. Too many assholes with their hands out expecting favors after giving their local congressman their bribes.1. Commit to a Balanced Budget.
2. Commit to radical reduction of the national debt.
Approving one of the biggest socialist program in this country's history yesterday wasn't a good start. Washington has been for socialism for the rich for a while now (see the ridiculous airline bailouts for another example).3. Commit to government's gradual exit from the free-market place.
This will never happen in this country. There's too much money to be made exploiting illegals in the US. An example: If the illegals working in our meat industry become legal, do you think there's any way they work at the death trap meat-packing plants for the wages they're pulling? When they can actually go to the government with the they have to go through? Our meat-packing industry isn't very different from what it was when Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle, and it would cost these companies huge money to reform. Much cheaper to continue buying off Washington.4. Commit to Immigration Reform. Two year path to citizenship for all current illegals with the clock starting ASAP. After two years deport. Secure the borders.
I am personally disgusted by abortion, which is why I always use condoms. I wish the right wing would quit trying to pacify the evangelicals and push condom use and contraception in classes instead of greatly exaggerating their failures and pushing a doomed strategy like abstinence education. As long as Republicans need the Baptist vote they will continue pushing these holier than thou programs like abstinence education, and our kids will continue having unwanted, terminated pregnancies because they didn't know contraception works.5. Pro-Life through changing people's hearts and minds.
Because they're one and the same with the current Democrat Party.I don't recognize the current GOP.
If the GOP would just tell the Christian Right to go off, they'd be in good shape.
I have no problem with religious beliefs per se, but trying to impose a theocratic agenda on people is not going to work. "Conservative Christianity" is neither conservative nor christian.
They might sue, but on what grounds would they win?
I don't know but you know they'll try. I'm not very religous. I don't really care. I'm just saying the ACLU would try that and if they win, it'll get ugly.
for the 50th time, please learn to read.
