First, know I am NOT a liberal or member of any political party. I have rejected the personal power maneuvering of both Left and Right. I support specific candidates who appear to have the intelligence and the will to struggle for what's good and right.
Now, when are the Republicans of our current Congress and legislatures going to understand why they are losing so many elections? The answers are fairly simple: first a party has to nominate good, honest candidates who are interested in serving the voters first. Second, candidates and the political organizations need to develop thoughtful, practical and positive platforms of ideas that will begin to solve our national and world problems. Third, we need to insist that foaming at the mouth insulting campaigning is just the way out the door. Fourth, we voters need to insist that candidates pledge to cooperate and support good ideas, wherever they arise.
The other major party also needs to refine its language, stop attacking and develop better candidates and platform planks that directly address issues like climate and poverty.
