You know the GOP hasn't really changed their message since 1980...

[WCGreen]

32 years on and it's still we are over regulated, we are coddling the poor and Rich people are better than you so buck up...

1. Every problem this country has can be blamed on decisions during the Reagan years.

It has grown aggressively over the years.

[exboyfil]

2. And the top marginal rate has gone from 70%

to 33%. The only reversal of that drop was during the Clinton years in which we had growth and balanced budgets.

[justabob]

3. and the Soviets are still our #1 geopolitical foe

[reformist2]

4. Even Robme's ad about Jeeps/China looks 30 years old...take a look!

[GeorgeGist]

5. As the Mitt said ...

send it all to the private sector.

[madokie]

6. And not only that but a lot of the same players are still playing

ronnie had pretty much the same cretins as his advisors as the rest of the pukes have had since then. A few have died off and a few have been added but for the most part the same o crew of criminals are still there.

[reformist2]

7. That's actually not true. This is mostly a new crop that Reagan would never have liked.

Everyone misunderstands what Reagan said when he said he didn't leave the Democratic Party...

[madokie]

10. check the roster of players in rayguns cabinet

and you'll see some of the same names.

[markpkessinger]

8. That's right ...

... The GOP has offered the same three policy proposals, which it has billed as the solution to every problem, and a sure way to keep the party going in good times: (1) lower taxes on the wealthy; cut government spending (but only on social programs); and (3) privatize as many functions of government as possible (that is, if you can't get away with simply eliminating them outright). Name any problem we might face as a nation, and you already have the GOP's solution.

9. I agree because I witnessed it happen

[rock]

11. The RepubliCON party is a failed party

For a Democracy it is defunkt. Every RepubliCON politician brings us down.

[Johonny]

12. It's funny the more we listen to them, the worse things get

yet the solution is more of the same, a double down on the same and as always the problem is the mythical liberal media, congress and socialist agenda's policies. Romney is running against a mythical Obama just like Reagan ran against a mythical Carter. The amazing thing is on some voters it works every 4 years. Somehow they never figure out their main reason they aren't getting ahead isn't Obama, the liberal media, the socialist liberal agenda... it is their own voting record. They created this environment of hate, stalemates, robber barons and complete public distrust.

[WCGreen]

13. We need more tax breaks. more of that less government....

More of not looking beyond the end of the week to figure out if any unforseen consequence is out there lurking in the future...

Hell no, Right Here, Right Now is all that matters...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Why should they change their message?

It has helped them become incredibly wealthy...

And we haven't been able to stop them.

[dawg]

15. Exactly.

We need to do a better job of persuading the voters. We need to forcefully make the case for liberalism. Most of the time our politicians just sound like pro-choice Republicans. And that isn't good enough.
