Just two years ago we had big wins.

The primaries are killing us. Social issues hurt us with hint voters and single women. Demographics are shifting.

“Boehner would then be able to go to Obama as a speaker who is willing to work with Democrats. This would force Obama to begin to work with Republicans.”

Put down the crack pipe. Whoever wrote this is out of touch with reality.

This is hysterical. Boehner is already talking about raising taxes to appease “The Won”.

If people don't believe you care about them...

The GOP/RNC republican party does not CARE about conservatives, so we say GFY GOP! They've LOST 5 out of 6 times.

What has to happen for rinos to understand they are LOSERS nationally?

It doesn't matter what Boehner and the ‘Pubs do or don't do. Obama and the media will stab them in the back. Why don't they get this? If you're going to get stabbed in the back anyway, you might as well go down fighting for what you believe in, rather than some warmed-over re-hash of “bipartisanship”.

In other words, we are increasingly a population of overgrown children who do not care about anything but our personal feelings, needs, and egos. I have said again and again: liberals do not reach full adulthood psychologically. Indeed many people don’t unless there is someone to set an example and show the way. It used to be that there was a great deal of literature out there for the young to absorb that gave them this guidance. Children’s books were about how to attain a certain level of virtue. They aren’t about that anymore. The Age of Reason is OVER. We are now in the Age of Emotion.

Republicans are terrible communicators. They busily compile facts but forget to reach out to women and minorities. Then they wonder why those groups won't listen to or accept their facts.

I don't agree with this. Republicans have done PLENTY of outreach to women and minorities, particularly Hispanics. It didn't help them.

Then, the problem is not with the Republicans.

It is with the populace at large.

Be more inclusive to minorities and women you say.
What was Condoleeza Rice? a white male?
What was Gonzalez?
Marco Rubio?
Clarence Thomas?
The people who spoke at the Republican convention?

What is the definition of inclusion of women?
Paying for birth control and abortion on demand?
This isn’t going to work. 94% of blacks voted for Obama.
88% of Blacks voted for Kerry. Does that mean those percentages of blacks are liberal? It sounds like it is true. Republicans should stop feeling guilty about CONSERVATISM. Start explaining conservatism and trying to challenge both Hispanics and Blacks about the way they vote and the consequences. Both groups will suffer more and longer under the Democcrats.

it’s how the message is conveyed. We’ve lost the media wars — conservatives among blacks, asians, hispanics who share our social values are being misled to believeing the GOP is a milder version of the KKK. We need to tell the truth

This means that, to make progress, the two parties must work with one another.

Define 'progress.

If it's the kind of progress we've had during Zero's first term, I'll take gridlock.

I know it sounds harsh but I will NEVER willingly send money to help people who live in democrat strongholds. Let their fellow “compassionate” liberals help out.

Unless you are a struggling conservative, don’t be knocking on my door for help.

I felt a little better after seeing who is up for reelection in the Senate in 2014....wow. repubs could do quite well if the conservatives in those states decide who they want their candidate to be and the elites in dc stay far away. Plus I think a lot of those up in 2016 r going to b hesitant to go along with anything to radical.

” Put down the crack pipe. Whoever wrote this is out of touch with reality.”

Beware women with three names.

Now, if she were suggesting we take the lemon we were handed and make lemon daiquiris...heavy on the rum...she might have a point. Don’t worry, be happy.

The GOP keeps running non conservative RINOs and they wonder what happened. Bizarre.
