v Seek compromise & moderation

This high-minded crap is getting old. The reason the Democrats are winning is because they aren't ignoring people that aren't white, male, straight, or well-off. If Republicans could gain even 50% of just one minority group, they'll win an election.

Continue putting out the word about the problems with the Barack Husssein Obama administration. Never let the American people forget the Fast and Furious, Benghazi, Russian nuke agreements, apology to the Arab world, protection of Islamic extremist, etc. Then offer common sense immigration reform, economic plans, and tax reform. Be a champion of religious freedom and expose all efforts to harm it. BE CONSERVATIVE

Stop being timid, speak up and own their opinions. Don't be changing positions like the position was under ware. Stop attacking other parties and come up with solutions to problems then be unrelenting in their support of the positions.

If the Republicans would get rid of social policy type positions, would eliminate the progressives, and would really be fiscally conservative, they have a chance. Especially since the Dem front runner, Hillary, really shot herself in the foot with lying about Benghazi. I think the reality is they have two chances. A fat one, and a slim one. Too many Huckabee's, not enough Paul's.

DOWNSIZE WASHINGTON. Replace poverty comforts with family law changes and set standards to uphold in family courts, enforced by the IRS. Then cut taxes 50% (but use family courts to put surtaxes and fines on relatives of the needy). Make homelessness illegal. Send illegals back so they share what they learned about America, back home; and ease unemployment of poor citizens here. Abolish $1.2 trillion subsidies to med industry and require they care for everybody -- in return for cutting their taxes 100% ($0.00). Require med schools care for needy, including med students for so many years after graduation -- in return for charging $0.00 for tuition.

And only half of women support legalized abortion.

DanielZ

@DogLady_1 The half who think they own the other half? Who think they own other women's fetuses? The ones who want less government interference in every other aspect of life? The ones who would force poor women to have children, then refuse to help them support those children by complaining about entitlements? The ones who support wars that kill non-combatant babies and pregnant women (just "collateral damage")? Right. Them. Sad.

DogLady_1

@DanielZ - I'm one of those women, and I don't own any other woman, nor do I want the gov't involved in every aspect of life, nor do I want to force women to raise kids in poverty (as though that's the worst possible thing that ever could happen to a kid... yeah right), nor have I ever refused to help a mother out... and I do not support wars, and all abortion clinic bombers need the death penalty... You can't just lump huge groups of women into some one-size-fits-all stance on abortion. You also can't just dismiss them either as being irrelevant to the issue.

There is nothing the Republicans can do to win in 2016. Simply stated, you can't beat Santa Claus. The American people have learned that they can vote themselves "stuff" from the public treasury. To get "stuff", you simply vote Democrat. Nobody is going to vote to give up their "stuff" or vote to have it taken away. What is now happening in the United States has happened to other great nations of the past. Once people learn they can vote themselves money from the treasury, the society begins to disintegrate. Business move to friendlier nations. Productive talented people either leave or retire. Taxes increase on everybody, capital controls are instituted, freedoms are ...

The Republican party has been taken over by extremists and conspiracy theorists. They need to drop their delusions and take a more moderate stance. They need to particularly soften their position on social issues which is winning them no votes. Take the British Conservative Party as an example.

Quit pushing their Religous beliefs down others throats. Quit believing that half of Americans are lazy bums who only want handouts and freebies. Quit believing that a fetus has more rights than the pregnant woman carrying it. Quit taxing people like Romney at 13.9 percent when working men and women making much less are taxed at higher rates. Quit thumbing their nose at science and pushing creationism. Quit trying to keep the gay folk from being able to marry and live the American dream. Quit claiming to be the party of smaller government while increasing the size and power of government. Realize that in order to make this country fiscally sound - we must cut spending ...

v Seek compromise & moderation

The GOP of today scares the hell out of a lot of people. I used to be a republican, and I abandoned the party when they caved to the ultra-right extremists. Every one of their 2012 "candidates" was a zealot of some kind, from "Crazy Eyes" Bachmann to "Impose Biblical Law" Santorum, to the one that less than 20% of repubs wanted a year ago: Romney.

Here are 10 things that they could do. 1.Stop alienating minorities. Try to appeal to them. 2.Distance themselves from any "Todd Akin" type individuals. 3. Instead of "Pro-Life" how about "Pro-Life except for rape,incest and to save the mother's live". 4. Appeal to the poor and middle class. No more "47%" type comments. 5.Get rid of anybody that is like Rick Santorum. 6.Try to support gay marriage(or at least civil unions). 7.Quit crying "voter fraud" whenever a minority votes. 8.Try to accept compromises. 9.Distance themselves from the Right-Wing conspiracy nuts. 10. No warmongering. We don't need to be involved in every single war in the world.
