Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
Martial Arts

You're making republicans look even worse, idiot. You're just showing how racist most of them are. Democrats are working hard, but every move we make you republicans try to keep from happening. BTW It's not socialist to want to give people help. Maybe you should stop pretending to be a patriot and read the documents written by the people who started this country. All of them wanted America to not only be politically strong, but also a place where we help those who can't help themselves. People like you want America to be as cold-hearted as the socialist countries you hate so much. You really hate so many people that you lost any brain power?

The Republicans are going to have to change in such a short period of time that I think they'll be a bubble for the next decade or two. We'll see another Republican president before 2020 but that doesn't mean they'll be the de facto party of America like they were during the 1980s. A left leaning Republican or candidate who appeals to a wide variety of conservatives and moderates is the only way for the party to stay current, and without sounding like an ageist, the old guard will have to give that up. McCain and Co. are going to have to step back from the forefront of the Republican Party in order to regain the consciousness of the new generation - but the chances of that happening in time for the next election are slim. The Dems will pull out a win in 2012 but it won't be the landslide they received in 2008 or maybe are hoping for.

The Republicans have been tarnished and maimed in the wake of the healthcare reform debate, and spreading more propaganda and unleashing more mudslinging isn't going to do them any favours. They'll have to take on a conservative feel similar to the conservative parties of Canada and the UK. Conservatives who understand the value of universal healthcare and like. These parties may not agree wholly with every social program, but they understand the value it holds to a majority of their nation's people and they know they have no chance in removing those safety nets without major backlash and career-ending elections.

It's time for the Republicans to grow up and join the 21st century.

Oh my =] The irony of this statement- "whose the idiot". Well my dear friend, why don't you pick up on some grammar and THEN call somebody an idiot!

I am a huge advocate of economically conservative policies, however I refuse to vote for a republican until the separation between church and state are made. As a socially more liberal person, I will never let a man tell me that I cannot get an abortion nor be married to another female.

Honestly, there should be a third party that defines people like me and most of the sane, educated people in the U.S. Not the economically fascist democratic party nor the socially ignorant republican party.
take us back to the time of austrian economics and working hard rather than letting the government provide for us on a silver platter!
