    They probably won't change it. It seems to me, they become more cult-like and extreme with each passing year.

    I live in Massachusetts and we have had Universal Healthcare now for quite a few years....since Romney was Governor as Mitt Romney a Republican hired the very best and brightest and they developed Universal Healthcare.

    Now I am WEALTHY and my payments went DOWN....as well Massachusetts has a surplus budget!!!

    IF.....the same Massachusetts system of Universal Healthcare is instituted Nation wide and IF...no one screws around with how it works as it was designed to work if all considerations are taken into account...THEN....it will work well upon a national level.

    What? that you want America to become the new United Soviet States of Amerika where political opponents are rounded up and executed? I bet you and the rest of the Liberal (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)bags here wept when the Soviet Union, your motherland, collapsed.

    No...by getting back to what the Republican Party used to stand for....creating the climate for businesses and companies to succeed grow and thrive thus JOB CREATION!!

    All this Anti-Choice...Anti-Gay...Anti-Non-Christian....is all BULL S#!% and has to be thrown out of the Republican Platform for the GOP to survive as a viable party.

    No, I am not god. It may seem like it because I am right all the time, but I am not.

    Males and females are normal relationships. They have biology built to be together. Sperm and egg and all that. Sperm and fecal do not create anything. If the entire human species were gay it would be extinct. An action that if practiced by everyone would lead to extinction is not normal behavior for that species. Having an abnormality is nothing to be ashamed of or be looked down on for. It is what it is. Some people have bad vision because of an abnormality. We don't start claiming the blind can see under the law just because they want it. Same with transgenders, since gay marriage is a contract issue fine have it recorded, I don't say why we need to subsidize it.

    Logic and Liberalism are an oxymoron

    Funny after thousands of years, our beliefs are now wrong. Up until just before Obama got elected, he didn't believe in gay marriage. Now we are begets if we don't believe. People not only didn't think abortion wasn't right, but it was even wrong to have sex before marriage, or live together and not married. We always believed that religion was good. A way to guide our children in living a clean and decent life. To teach them not to steal, honor our parents, not to envy what others had, not to kill and believe if you were good and belied in God, you'll go to heaven. Now the Left is telling us if we ever want to get elected again, we have to throw all our moral beliefs away. They no longer fit in today's Liberal society. How sad

    Libertarianism is not Conservatism. Especially concerning the only thing Libertarianism is concerned with is legalization of hard drugs. And who the hell is Rob Portman?

    Critical Marxist theory demands that all cultural institutions and guideposts should be dismantled, ignored and ridiculed as soon as possible.

    I personally am neither just conservative or liberal as I am both an Independent who is Fiscally Conservative and Socially Liberal.

    Now I also believe that morality and justice in necessary for a society to function but some people have a far differing opinion upon just what is moral and what is not.

    Currently the Ultra-Religious Conservative concept of Morality exists in but a SMALL MINORITY of Americans.

    This is why the GOP must either reform itself or become irrelevant.

    Social liberalism is wrong on all fronts. social liberalism brought us 50+million unborn children slaughtered at the altar of "choice". Social Liberalism is attempting to redefine the very concept of "family" away from the one true and proper definition.

    I am neither Democrat or Republican and this debate is not about what I will do or how I will vote it is about how the current version of the GOP needs to be reformed if it wishes to remain viable.

    The GOP is moving so FAR to the RIGHT, they are losing their identity and political appeal... in the eyes of most reasonable Americans.

    I'm not imagining that and I've been observing it for decades.

    As it needs to while the Democrats have moved so far to the LEFT that it makes even Karl Marx himself proud. We don't need compromise and bipartisanship/ Because all that does is bring (*)(*)(*)(*)ty laws and trouble.

    The thing is what you call WE is but a small minority of the people who vote Republican and many former Republicans have left the party due to the idiocy of extremism.

    The lean of Conservatives toward the extreme Right is far more profound than that of the Left leaning toward to CENTER (which most experts will suggest has happened).

    Even so, that trend on the Left is changing directions. As a response to the political extremism of those on the Right (over the last 20 years or so), the Left is pulling further toward the Progressive direction.

    I'm no expert (for certain), but I saw that coming 12+ years ago.

    That is absolutely the trend. And I can understand why current-day Right-wing extremists would seek to deny it.

    People are leaving the Party. There are fewer and fewer people registering as or identifying themselves as Republican. My hypothesis is it is due to the lack of integrity to the principals of morality and freedom. If your leadership promotes greed and war but squashes personal freedoms you are going to lose support. There may be about 50% of the voters still supporting Republicans, but as I said earlier it is because they are against what the Democratic position is. Not because they are for the Republican idea.
