WASHINGTON (AP) — With its party struggling to define itself, a group of prominent Republicans launched a listening tour Saturday in a bid to boost the GOP's sagging image and regroup for future elections.

Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, R-Va., held a town-hall style meeting at a pizza restaurant in the Democratic suburb of Arlington, Va., to hear about people's concerns on issues from the economy and health care to the rising costs of college tuition.

1. The problem for the GOP is

that the only people that will show up are the same people that were at the teabagging parties.

2. Yep, 99% Palin and Ron Paul supporters.

That just isn't going to work.

3. Aren't Mitt, JEB, and Cantor deaf? nt

4. You can dress up a whore in a wedding gown but it's still a whore.

5. Defining Republicans

They could try defining themselves around a platform of individualism, personal responsibility and fiscal conservatism. Those ideas used to work for them. Being linked with social conservatives and neoconfederate wackos threw them off balance.
