Future of the GOP: Big changes are inevitable, but all agree it

"As discussed here, four Massachusetts hospitals now must cope with having thousands of patient records discovered in a public dump. And these records contain vital private information such as SSNs, health details, phone numbers, etc. In other words, everything required to have one’s identity stolen. Also, highly private personal medical details which could be harmful if disclosed in the wrong context. Already, overseas transcription services have been the basis for medical records extorti ...

If you haven't already seen this guy's blog post, it states pretty much what I think the GOP needs to think about if they want to re-build their party into a future winner in the presidential election. (The only thing I would have added is "women's issues.") This blog post definitely hits on some of the reasons I've switched from Rep to Dem in the past several elections. ...

A new report tries to stifle Democrats' confidence that demographics guarantee the party's electoral success. But it's not totally persuasive. [Maybe not, but I've known a lot of minority conservatives over the years who are not comfortable with the Democratic party, even if they're forced to vote Democratic to protect themselves now, and I expect them to force change at some point. The only thing certain about the future is that it will be different and it wi ...

Get ready for computer chips implanted with all your information (the end times). Getting ready for scams more than ever trying to get your SS#.

Each candidate will give a statement. No debate. And fewer of them. .....this gets stranger and stranger The GOP candidates need to stop whining, put on their big-boy/girl clothes, and put their best ideas forward in the debate format that has worked well for my whole life. Just because they have no understanding of the issues and have no commendable ideas to put forth, it's still not okay to just do away with the debates. They need to just deal with it and if it's too hot for them ...

A 26-year-old university graduate penned an open letter this week expressing her deep displeasure with President Barack Obama’s signature health care law, saying it has “raped” her future — and now the letter is going viral. Ashley Dionne, a recent college graduate, posted the letter detailing her experience with Obamacare on conservative radio host Dennis Prager’s Facebook page Monday. She said she received her bachelor’s degree in 2009 and went back to school for a second de ...

From the Washington Post (yeah, still there :): "In recent weeks, Hillary Clinton has reiterated that she will not stay on for President Obama’s second term, unleashing fresh waves of speculation about her plans. There is hypothesizing that she is merely entering a hibernation period before a 2016 presidential bid. There is talk that she will start her own women’s rights initiative. There is the prospect, too, that this might really be it for one of the most iconic figures in ...

If you Google Newt and Airforce One you will find that he absolutely admitted that one of his motivations for shutting down the government years ago was that he was angry at Clinton for making him sit in the rear of the plane and exit through the rear. Yep, there are actual quotes out there. Sounds like a real stable adult. Not much. Also, yesterday was the anniversary of Newt's unprecedented censure. Run Newt run. ...

Trump acted illegally! What he did was the actions of a dictator. He broke the constitution and attacked without congressional approval. We live in a democracy and one of the rules on an attack like this is that it needs congressional approval. Do you not remember what Bush went through before we invaded Iraq? It took a long time for him to get approval but he did. Trump is a loose cannon and acted on his own and broke our laws of democracy. In the few post below, ...

My little sister got married young (18), even after we said she should probably wait... was only with the guy for like 8 months but he was joining the military and being deployed, so they got married. Four years later, she has a gorgeous 16 month old, but apparently is no longer "in love" with hubby. she says she has felt this way for 3 years. to make a long story short, she basically doesn't want to stay in the marriage. My parents who are very conservative tell h ...

Written by a very wealthy "job creator" - he makes the case quite intelligibly for better conditions for the middle class. Capitalism is not the problem. His message to his fellow zillionaires: "Dear 1%ers, many of our fellow citizens are starting to believe that capitalism itself is the problem. I disagree, and I’m sure you do too. Capitalism, when well managed, is the greatest social technology ever invented to create prosperity in human societies. But capitalism left unchecke ...

Donald Trump exudes white privilege. Without it, he wouldn't be President of the United States. No black man in America could ever have said and done the things he has said and done (don't make me list them ) without an advanced degree or a single day of elected experience no less, and rise to the highest office in the land. Never! That's an exclusively white male opportunity. White privilege seeps out of the very pores of this administration. It's how Betsy DeVos could be ...

I do believe that we need to bring in more tax revenue. I agree with the pres on that one. However, I don't believe raising the taxes on the rich is the answer. That alone still will not cover the amount of money we are spending. I also think that the initial step in bringing in more tax revenue is to close loopholes in the tax code. We are in major need of tax reform here. What good is taxing the rich more when you have big companies like GE not paying A ...

Look at it this way...if Hoover dam were to rupture, then everything down river would flood.

The Government sends in millions of dollars to help rebuild communities, but the rebuilding can't begin until the houses stop filling up with w ...

Future of the GOP: Big changes are inevitable, but all agree it

The GOP would have walked away with this election if it hadn't alienated Hispanic and other minority voters. Minorities are key to the future of the GOP. Birth rates of hispanics alone are above the national average, but per Pew Research, the GOP is 90% white.

From the Wall Street Journal: Many Republicans believe they will eventually win over more Hispanics. They cite the decades-old quip from Ronald Reagan, that Hispanics are Republicans at heart; they just didn't know it yet.

Hispanics have higher marriage rates and church attendance than most Americans. They tend to be strongly antiabortion. They have high rates of entrepreneurship.

And this is only one of the issues forcing big change on the GOP. Things are still going to be interesting after the election. :)

I think Obama and his team have alienated a lot of Hispanics, not Romney - backwards typist

What's your source for THAT? - Umm...
