Is the GOP hurting itself?

As the title asks, I would like to really question the GOP. Sometimes in life, people need to accept that they have lost, and in this case, the election. The best thing for this country is to have a two party system for gains in any way. When one side takes over, the other tries it's hardest to bring it down. In 2008, the Democrats did just that; they brought the GOP down and hence Obama was elected.

Now, how does one side bring down the other? The real answer to that is they appeal to the voters. The Obama camp during the election did a great job of appealing to the country and the "undecided" voters. Post-election there have been people in the GOP or even just a voter that have made it real hard on our cause. There are a lot of Obama haters between the voters and leaders in the party but just hating the President is not the way to go.

There are thinghs that should be done and things that should not be done. For example, there has been a lot of alligations of where exactly President Obama was born. Is this a serious issue, not really. It is an issue but as of right now there are bigger fish to fry. What the GOP needs to do instead of attacking personal issues and lowering themselves to the left's standards, the GOP should attack on national issues. Calling Judge Sotomayor a racist is not a good thing to do because it is unattractive to the voters and turns the general public off. Now there needs to be someone in the GOP to step up and attack the national issues just like the Democrats did during the Bush years.

Now here are three big suggestions that I think the GOP should attack along with answers in my view (these are in no particular order). Obviously, there are more but for starters this should work.

1) Bailouts for companies. We live in America and the last time I looked, we live in a Capitalist society. No buisness is too big to fail, therefore these companies that got bailouts from our tax-payer money should give us back our money and fend for themselves.

2) Stimulus package. This package is around $787 billion. Where did all this money come from, tax payers again. Did President Obama promise not to raise taxes? Well how is this stimulus package being paid for? Oh wait, our tax payer money. Next, more than half of this money has not even been spent yet! We have learned that spend spend spend does not work, only tax cuts work!

3) National health car. Nobody is going to say "no" that they do not want free health coverage. What the Democrats do not tell us is that is will not be free, it has to be paid for by someone, and that someone happens to be tax-payers. Look at Canada and Great Britian's health care. It is not working because people that need coverage have to wait a lot longer than needed if they had their own plan. Go ahead and ask someone that lives there if they would rather come to our country for health coverage.

In the first six months of his presidency, President Obama's approval ratings are dropping fast. The GOP needs to act on this not by attacking personal issues but attacking national issues. Once the GOP starts to step up and do this eyes will be opened and the GOP will come back and they should act fast because the 2010 elections are coming up fast. Until the GOP does this, the Democrats will continue to win and attacking personal issues the, the Democrats will only use that to claim that the GOP are crazy radicals. Do not try to win with ideology but win with hard straight facts! Historically, the GOP has not been good at fighting ideologically but they have been rather good at fighting with hard facts.
