I was watching headline news today and the question was, who is the spokesperson for the Republican party.? They had Cheney, Bush, Newt Gingrich, and Rush LImbaugh all up on the screen with approval ratings all under 15%. LOL.
First of all, I didn't know that both political parties required a spokesman. Secondly, if one of these clowns happens to be one, should any and all Republicans proceed immediatly to the nearest bridge and jump off?
Originally posted by sh76Do you think Republicans should become more moderate, or even more to the left in order to get people to vote for them?
If the Republicans' problem is that they're perceived as the "party of no," how would it help to choose as a leader, the ultimate "candidate of no"?
All of Ron Paul's positions are some variation of "You're wrong to do XYZ."
Do you want them to become the "red democrats"?
Originally posted by generalissimoThe platform should be come more moderate, yes. They have a long way to go before they have to worry about becoming "red Democrats."

I think the future of the GOP is:
- Fiscal conservatism
- Limited government
- Social libertarianism

Aren't they doing that already? (or at least the first 2)
So you want them to get rid of their views regarding for example abortion and gay marriage?

Long term, I don't think anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage platforms are going to be sustainable unless there's a radical shift in the direction western society is headed.

Being an admirer of fascist dictators, generalissimo may well think that anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage platforms, together with the required 'direction of society', can be sustained by setting up a National Security State, granting wider powers to the military and systematic gaoling of opponents, including gays and women's rights activists.

Why do you insist on vomiting these untrue accusations?
When did I say I admired fascist dictators?
Originally posted by whodeyI'm not a Republican, but don't count out the G O P...ever. I remember when G W Bush landed on that aircraft carrier and announced the end of major combat operations in Iraq, his approval rating was over 80%, and the G O P was riding high. Political anaylists on TV openly discussed if the Democratic party would even survive another 5 years. It goes to show you that you really can fool all of the people some of the time!😏
