What’s a party to do?

If you’ve woken from your Thanksgiving turkey coma and Black Friday shopping isn’t your thing, then maybe you’re in the mood for a little deep thinking and Friday morning quarterbacking. Read our package of Community Views by four local Republicans on what the party needs to do to retrench and get back in the game, then tell us what you think.
Here’s what some readers have said on our forums:
I believe that even politics is cyclical. You recall the Dems a few years back when they were in this position? It happens … Republicas need to gather and reinforce their platform, values and unite. I personally believe that our Republican philosophy and values are important and should be represented accordingly.
It’s plain and simple. Go back to the roots of conservatism. As an activist in the conservative movement I ask all my brothers and sisters to read Conscience of a Conservative by Barry Goldwater. Time to get rid of these RINOs like McCain, Graham, Specter, Hagel and these other deadbeats. Conservatism didn’t lose on 11/4, It was big-government liberal Republicans.
Your parents’ Republican Party is dead. Given the traditional family structure of husband and wife has been effectively destroyed and the concept of one working spouse is long gone, the party has a long period of transformation ahead of it. Into what is hard to predict.
Are you a registered Republican? Were you disappointed in how the party handled the national election? What do you think the party needs to do to attract voters and stay viable?
