Let me guess: the GOP didn’t celebrate sodomy or want to endorse infanticide.

From the article:

In the report, the young Republican activists acknowledge their party has suffered significant damage in recent years. A sampling of the critique on:

Gay marriage: “On the ‘open-minded’ issue … [w]e will face serious difficulty so long as the issue of gay marriage remains on the table.”

Hispanics: “Latino voters … tend to think the GOP couldn’t care less about them.”

Perception of the party’s economic stance: “We’ve become the party that will pat you on your back when you make it, but won’t offer you a hand to help you get there.”

Big reason for the image problem: The “outrageous statements made by errant Republican voices.”

Words that up-for-grabs voters associate with the GOP: “The responses were brutal: closed-minded, racist, rigid, old-fashioned.”

So, in a word, yes. You’re right.

Yes. We must become more like the Gaystapo and Feminazis so people will like us.

Correct. Just embrace the devil. Didn't we already try that with milquetoast candidates like McCain and Romney. When will the establishment learn when faced between the choice of faux conservatives and real liberals, voters will pick the real liberal every time.
