1. They allowed themselves to get trapped by Bush's attempts to crown himself king. They are now seen (rightly so) as power crazed. Nearly fascists, in fact. You guys have the stink of wiretapping, torture, and pre-emtive wars based on lies on you. 2. We've tried "trickle down" economics and tax cuts for the rich how many times now? It's never worked. Ever. They have no new economic ideas. They say when you keep trying the same thing over and over again, but expect different results, it's a sign of mental illness. 3. Bozos, jokes and cartoons. Those are the people that they keep offering up as supposed leaders. Who are the faces of the GOP these days? Steele, Jindal, Palin, Limbaugh, Beck, "Joe the non-plumber"... Who the FUCK would follow any of these self serving creeps? You butt raped McCain by not letting him be himself during the election... you did the same thing with Dole. Whomever it is on your side, who keeps telling your candidates to play to the stupid, the hate filled, the gun totin... you really need to fire those assholes! 4. Sorry you don't think the GOP is the party of old, white, racist men. But, if the RNC crowds and the folks who showed up at your much ballyhooed "tea parties" the other day were any indication... you guys are about as balanced in minority representation as African Apartid. You need to work on your outreach... you know, maybe support legal minorities instead of yelling at the top of your lungs how you'd like to shoot all mexicans at the border, and stop working in the back rooms to keep other minorites "in their place." (cutting affirmative action programs, killing fairness-in-lending programs for blacks trying to buy homes or start businesses, and whipping up "defense of marriage acts" designed to fuck over LGBT folk...) Sure, you countered Obama being in the oval with Steele(hey, he's a black guy, right? Won't just any black guy do? Was that what you were thinking?)... but everyone pretty much saw that for what it was: a political ploy. 5. Ditch the Talibangelists! You hang onto the "Focus on the Family" BS like it's a life preserver, and the Titanic went down. (Well, okay, it sorta did... for you) Here's a clue: the bulk of America sees them as extremeists! As long as the GOP writes policy to please these nutcases, you guys are NOT going to get widespread appeal. They're not the huge groundswell of anti-gay assholes they used to be... now they're just a minority of anti-gay assholes. Stop fucking with important research like stem cells, or pushing religion into science classrooms, because the Bible thumpers tell you to, and you might reclaim some of your integrity. Look, even you guys know that RU-486 and other "plan B" drugs are making abortion obsolete. In ten years, it won't even be a viable hot button for you to push... 6. Change the tone/move to the middle. The people who threw the election your way were not your base. Nor was it everyone on the democratic side voting in record numbers...(although that helped!) No, it was the great American independant: the moderates. But, you guys are so fucking far out on the fringe, they couldn't even see you! Hint: you ran a pro torture candidate... Guess what? Moderates actually believe in the Constitution. (It's that document you've been wiping your ass with the last eight years.) Again, I say, IF you had allowed McCain to be himself, not saddled him with "Caribou Barbie" and let him speak from the middle... you would have had it in the bag! But, you ran the single worst campaign in living memory... and Obama's team was near perfection. Playing things logically, reasonably, and NOT losing his cool, ever! By contrast, McCain was looking like the old guy yelling at the kids to get off his lawn. He LIED about going back to DC to Letterman, he was desperate enough to pump up "Joe the Plumber", he allowed himself to take on an Alaskan grifter as his running mate with ZERO vetting... The tone... man have you gone back to look at the shit you guys pulled during the elcection? "Obama's a muslim... he was educated in a Madrassa... he's an arab... he's not really an American... " (shit that you STILL allow to circulate, which only continues to make you guys look like a bunch of tinfoil hat wearing FOOLS!) Limbaugh isn't entertaining anymore, he's just on an anti-Obama rant every single fucking day... his numbers are starting to falter because of it. Beck and O'Riley? Please! Beck comes off like that kid crying into the camera, asking for Brittany to be left alone... O'Riley's a joke that stalks women who support anti-rape communities.... fer gods sake, don't you SEE what this shit is doing to America's perception of you? Welcome to the 21st century... (and the GOP has barely made it out of the 19th...) Where every mistake you make is repeated endlessly on cable, and Youtube... (Got that, Macaca?)
