GOP Lost its Way

> Since the election, the GOP has been racking their brains asking what did we > do wrong. The main theory seems to be: We Lost Our Way. So I have a few > theories of my own about how they lost it.
How the Republicans lost their way:
1. False belief that their way is the only way even when it's proven not to > work.
2. False belief that Free Markets will take care of everything and everyone.
3. False belief that if one works hard, they'll earn enough to feed and > clothe their families.
4. False belief that US has best healthcare in world, when we rank # 26th in > the industrialized world.
5. False belief that everyone should be responsible for themselves.
6. Being more interested in personal gain than being a servant of the > electorate.
7. Refusal to change their diehard beliefs of tax cuts and poor economic > theories.
To say that " We became just like the Democrats in terms of spending, as well as on personal and political ethics.", Priscilla Rakestraw; as a reason for losing; just shows how the GOP can't accept its own failures. The problem isn't that you did not get your message out! You got it out and it was rejected at the polls.
The Message is always about helping business and cutting taxes for the well off. All meaningless words for the poor and hungry. When will you see that we all must care for the elderly, the widows, the > downtrodden and the children, as any civilized country should and as required by the religions of the world. What happened to the Golden Rule? Maybe the Golden Rule (Do unto others as you would have them do to you) could be the next GOP mantra
