The Youth

The GOP should adopt a few of the tactics that helped Obama succeed in the election. He embraced the youth of this country in numerous ways including the use of online engagement to encourage them to get out and vote. The younger generations are the future of this country and the GOP could revitalize their image by focusing some attention toward them.

America Had Its Chance...

Sarah Palin was a breath of fresh air - Not just for the Republicans but for the nation. Maybe she wasn't up to speed in national or international politics. That information is something that can be studied and learned in a relatively short time. A foundation of integrity, honesty, candor and morality is a lot harder to come by.

The national media abandoned their objectivity and became nothing more than witch hunters for the left.

Republicans and conservative independents need to find candidates with fundamental goodness of heart and selfless ideals... If they do, the difference between them and the "hard left" will become apparent to the nation - In spite of the propaganda of the secular, left media.

The GOP and Ted Stevens

What a joke. Republicans throw the creeps out and the Democrats re-elect theirs. Not to mention throwing cash is the freezer! His constituents actually believe that thief!

The best thing about Stevens losing is that Alaska gets a Democrat and Sarah Palin is not given another avenue to run for an open seat on the national stage. Hockey Mom pit bull lipstick cranks are out of favor now, thank heavens. Moving on.
