You make valid points however I think there were other issues the GOP congress could not overcome such as immigration and gov't growth/spending among others that angered conservatives.
Let's face it... the other side thought they were mad and voted like it. Our side was apathetic and disappointed in congress.
If we want to put the party back on the right track we should start by getting rid of RINO's in the primary (such as Specter)

“Those questions have been decided,” was his response. The public wants an expanded federal role in those areas, and the Republican Party at the highest levels has decided to give the public what it wants.
Well now Mr. Ed Gillespie, can claim the title of RINO-In-Chief.

It's time to run a proven conservative: Duncan Hunter.

You couldn't have turned this around. Deficit-spending, big government bloat from the party supposedly the cure for that problem is what lost the election. No I couldn't have turned anything national around, maybe or maybe not locally, but I could have done a better job.

Turning the general election into a second Democrat primary isn't going to cut it... You got that right!

Republican lost congress because they started backing away from Bush. You should go back and read Post #14. That was Bush's man up there in New Hampshire preaching the new Gospel according to the NeoCons.
I have a burning desire to go into a voting booth in 2008 and not have to hold my nose again.
Maybe we could require all Republican candidates to sign a pledge to uphold the 10th amendment to the Constitution. I know they all take an oath once elected to uphold the Constitution, but I don't know if they have their fingers crossed...or they do like President Bush and redact the 10th amendment.

Sounds like desperation. If there is nothing better than McCain or Guiliani, then the Republican party is doomed.
