How can my Republican party best  "process" this latest setback and act to preserve the Evangelical votes?

Republicans have forgotten about "bread and butter" issues that matter to everyone.\n\nExample:  I spend 45 minutes driving 3 miles to the train station because Republicans can't pass a Transportation Bill in Virginia.  They didn't build shoulders or sidewalks to the train station.  So I'm stuck.\n\nI'm paying $400 a month for health insurance, and I have to change doctors every year because UHC keeps screwing with the billing process so my doctors won't carry them.\n\nHalf my paycheck goes to the mortgage on my 3br home, and they're talking about "slowing new home starts" because it's cheaper than building schools.\n\nMy kids sit in trailers at school because the local republican supervisor said "it's only for one year."  (We're going on 5.)\n\nWhat does it matter to me if my neighbors are two men living together if I can't get home in time for dinner because I'm working longer hours to pay my bills and sitting in traffic at $3.00 a gallon for gas while Exxon posts record profits?

I think we are voting for Do No Harm.  Once the Republicans loose power it will be harder for them to foul things up.  We will still have to fix the messes we have.

I see the criminal evangelical republicans pushing the country toward a theocracy, scary stuff. I hope Americans are smart enough in 2008 to reverse the course of destruction, otherwise be prepared to get microchipped.

Get yourself a bible and a pulpit! Then win the Powerball (its 250 million today) and donate all of the money to the GOP. Then maybe you will get to meet him!\n\nJust Remember... Its not whatchya know... Its how much money you got!

Brilliant!!!! The conservatives, traditionalists, and republicans would be wise to start coalescing, and forming a strategy now. Many of your Ideas are doable, and would be a great platform to run on. Count me in. Many of these things could have been acted upon during the past six years, but partisan thinking reared it's ugly head and those years were wasted. The republicans will return, and take the country in a proper direction, not just a (new direction).

Continue to educate yourself on facts, Don't listen to all the GOP spin & whining, (on here too!), support your local elected officials, keep in mind that the truth always prevails, & don't stoop to their level. That'll do.

Republicans have a real problem here - they can't afford to let Kerry run his mouth uncontested, but they are skating on thin ice concerning Iraq with the nearing election. I would not want to be in a position trying to justify our being there (even though I feel that we need to stay at this point). Politicians are just slinging mud - when the overspray of mud hit the voters in the eye, the election can be affected drastically. Republicans need to be mindful of the shaky ground that they are on and proceed cautiously.

Many republican finks have been evacuating that sinking ship for some time now.  Many of them lost elections because they knew they couldn't support Bush and win and ended up having no platform on which to campaign.  That Foley thing was like the Titanic breaking in two, leaving half temporarily above water and the other half to drown helplessly.

Good Luck!  Just get on the Republican party's web site.  Surely, they will have some propaganda and more lies to say about G.W.  Or just tune into Fox News.  The only improvement I have seen in the last 6 months is the number of people with IMPEACH BUSH decals on their car.

When were the religious Republicans repudiated? You got me.  I know it these last elections, 90% of conservative initiatives/referrendums were passed (8 of 9 states banned gay marriage, and on that didn't was because they had constructed it way too strictly; similarly certain abortion matters were constructed to push the envelope and were far too stringent even for religious republicans).  The real matter at issue in this last election was the war and corruption; it was primarily a referrendum against president Bush.  Many people overlooked the Republican candidates without even considering the issues.  Additionally, many of the Democrats stealing away Republican seats are religious individuals, who support those things you disapprove of.  It's not a party thing.

Nah not really. Preachers you have to remember are not held to any particular standard. What I mean to say is when they preach it is there perception and interpretation and does not make it so. Form your own opinion and they can keep theirs to themselves. When you go into the voting booth they will not know who you voted for anyway unless you tell them and quite frankly that is none of there damn business. As far as a separation of church and state, well that may be one preacher you want to separate from if he/she is attempting to influence your voting decision. Keep in mind one thing though. If you go to church regularly and heed and believe and listen to and follow your preachers teachings then you will most likely vote as they would have anyway. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Remember that!!

I hope the Republican politicians see how much they backstabbed their voters and supporters. I'm voting Independent because I've been left down, and I want the Reps to know that I'm not refusing to vote, but my vote is still being casted, and I refuse to let the Dems get it. I want to weed out these Republicans for 4 years and hopefully they will see their 8 year mistake, Starting with allowing the illegals to invade this country..

I'm a republican.\n1. GOP pushes non-issues like abortion and gay marriage to energize and get out the vote of the religious ...it works.\n2. Democrats criticize everything the GOP does to energize and get out the vote of the uninformed....it works.\n3. Both parties will be united WHEN we are attacked again. But it will be temporary. \n4. I think ONE term limits and NO compensation of ANY kind (no free golf etc.) would be a good start. Then only patriots would apply.

Well, the easiest honest way to do that is to learn it, then you'll really know.  Nothing worth doing can be shortened with the results untouched.  Claims are lies that one party hopes are true.
