With the mood of the population we have in America today (takers vs. makers) the only way the GOP can save itself is to adopt the Santa Clause philosophy - that is what purchases the votes. No more complicated than that. America has no one to blame other than to look in the mirror before entering the voting booth.

I strongly disagree. Conservatism wins whenever it's properly pitched to the American people, ala Reagan. What you're advocating is nothing short of the complete abandonment of our principles, in order to 'win' elections.

What on earth would we gain by electing Republicans who govern exactly like Democrats? Exactly nothing, besides permanently cementing their leftist agenda in place.
