Jim, I understand your desire to have a real republican party that can actually elect people.  The problem is  why would anyone vote for a modern day republican?  They no longer stand for fiscal responsibility and are doubtful when it comes to state or individual rights unless those are in agreement with the republican party. It would be nice if republicans would still support an Eisenhower today or even a Nixon.  (Without the corruption)

Republicans need to get away from transforming America into Orwell's Oceania and instead stand up for freedom,  Republicans should come out in favor of legalization of marijuana and a woman's right to run her own life.  When I was growing up republicans were supposed to stand for individuals running their own lives.  What happened republicans?  Democrats got to you?  lol
