All I hear are a bunch of leftist morons talking about the way to win elections is to move to the middle. Why do we need a Democrat Lite party? A party that spends money on a similar scale to the Democrat party? please. That is the way to keep losing elections.
And in regards to what sargon20 said, the Republicans are not anti-gay, they are anti-panderingtominorities. They don't try to buy votes by pandering the specific voting blocks and demographics like Democrats do. There were votes across the US against gay marriage and virtually every state including almost every state that went to Obama voted against it. Voted it DOWN. 70% of the black population voted against it. The fact is that gays already have ALL of the rights that a married couple have as defined by the government, even a few more. People are just in favor of not calling it "gay marriage" and changing the definition of marriage for the last thousand or more years... which is a union between man and woman under god. What's next, some dude and two girls being able to get married too? I am not religious, but I respect other people's beliefs.
So no, they aren't anti-gay, they are Pro-giving the voters what they want. Suck it up and stop crying about it, that's why it didn't even pass in California... arguably the loopiest, leftist state in the union.
Republicans are also NOT anti-immigration, they are anti-ILLEGAL immigration, moron. They believe, like most Americans, that if good people are waiting in line to become citizens of this country, people oughta not be cutting in line to get in and breaking the laws. If they are willing to break the laws, again, chances are they will break laws when they get into this country. Border reform is obviously necessary when you look at the high, high rate of crime and murder involving human trafficking and drugs smuggling at the border states. There are too many decapitations in Texas to ignore that.
So, not anti-gay, not anti-immigration. OK, and yes, they are against killing babies. I mean, wouldn't anyone else call over 40 million aborted babies that WOULD have been alive without modern-day intervention a holocaust... or a scourge on our society? A woman has a right to do with her body whatever she wants, but not at the expense of another life that is dependent on hers and ignoring that is ignoring the truth.
So, moving on, the Republicans TRIED running a moderate loser, that was John McLame, and he lost lost lost. The way Republicans are going to win is by representing fiscal conservatives and libertarians, something they have not been doing for the last 8 years. That's the only reason I don't call myself a Republican. But believe me, they are going to counteract the reckless spending, bailouts, and nationalization bullshit of the Democrat party in power right now SO FAST, it'll make your head spin, and soon enough, they'll be gaining seats again.
