That's kinda like trying to burn rubber on the road while simultaneously putting your other foot on the brakes.
I realize that God, guns, and abortion will *always* appeal to their specially cultured fans, supporters, and dwindling base of voters--but how can the GOP hope to move forward (thinking) in a century that embraces real hope, change, technological progress, and fresh visions for our collective future?
Maybe they can go all techno on our butts by pulling a Futurama skit and selling that to the public in general.
I dunno...
I'm just throwing out ideas for anyone whom might be receptive to this sort of thing... :0)How can the Republican Party hope to move forward in the 21st century when they embrace backward ideologies?I'm not a party person. I don't believe in the right or the left. A person or country has to maintain balance. For example, you can't completely eliminate welfare or we will have dead babies laying in the streets. But, you can't give people's money away to every dead beat who claims they can't work. You have to have a checks and balance system. Sounds original doesn't it. With this, also comes accountability.
The Republican party is desperately grasping at straws. I believe that was why they selected Sarah for their VP choice. Right after the election, they announced they would consider the Louisiana governor for their 2012 choice. He's a minority. Now, they have selected a black RNC president. They are trying to play politics. As long as they play politics instead of facing issues, they will have problems.
Now about the real hope, change, and technological progress, let's see what happens. Obama has made promises and it appears he is working on fulfilling them. But, the government has always been slow on solving problems. I wonder how we ever put a man on the moon.How can the Republican Party hope to move forward in the 21st century when they embrace backward ideologies?The republican party has never claimed they would like to move forward. That is basically what conservative is.
It is like a car, to move forward, put it %26quot;D%26quot;, to go backward put it in %26quot;R%26quot;.How can the Republican Party hope to move forward in the 21st century when they embrace backward ideologies?They are a fading stain on the history of this great nation.How can the Republican Party hope to move forward in the 21st century when they embrace backward ideologies?Your right.

If they want to win the hearts of Americans they better start realizing not ever body is the same. This country is to diverse.How can the Republican Party hope to move forward in the 21st century when they embrace backward ideologies?They're waitin' for the whole trend cycle to come full circle so that being a puritanical, xenophobic douche is in style again and they can win.How can the Republican Party hope to move forward in the 21st century when they embrace backward ideologies?If they can not get past their anger and negative bitterness there is not much hope.How can the Republican Party hope to move forward in the 21st century when they embrace backward ideologies?I believe FDR tried this finance-backed spending -- and it FAILED! EPIC FAILURE EPIC FAIL EPIC FAILURE.
We were spending 10% of the GDP trying to fill the hole and stimulate the economy...didn't work.
That's more backwards than anything you have on the Repubs.
Technological process is lead by the free-market -- not government...many republicans in the free-market (Remember your Mantra? Greedy fascist racist fat-cat capitalists pigs...)...your argument fails just like your self-made moccasins. Try Berkenstock: Although I'm not sure if their board is comprised of Demos or Repubs...you might want to look into their campaign contributions.

hope is what republicans gave blacks and women when pushing the civil rights movement as democrats fought it
change is what slaves got when republicans crushed the democratic south in the civil war.
hope is what Obama's fueling his stimulus package with and Republicans just told him it's going to be an EPIC FAILURE by not voting for it in the House.
fresh visions don't include battery operated cars as they'll need to draw energy from the grid -- powered by coal...whoops...and what about the battery waste?
You have the right concepts -- but you're batting for the wrong team. Welcome to the Republican party!How can the Republican Party hope to move forward in the 21st century when they embrace backward ideologies?I'm a Republican and I partially agree with what you're saying, but I think you've got it somewhat backwards. I think God, guns and abortion are surefire winners in terms of holding the base together. But I think it's the other side where I'd like to see some movement. We need to do something about poverty and about people without health care, come up with some innovative ideas to make sure everyone's got that security without breaking the bank. Most importantly, we should stand against free trade, which has destroyed our industries. If we can do that, we can win over the middle-of-the-road voters.How can the Republican Party hope to move forward in the 21st century when they embrace backward ideologies?Excellent point. Yes...they are backwards!! How can they move forward? They don't believe in science. I think they have used the scare tactics too long. That does not work when you don't have a job or a home. I don't think the republicans would be happy if they worked in a pie factory and had a bite of each pie.
BTW...I love the response from Incarcerated Bert....hillarious.How can the Republican Party hope to move forward in the 21st century when they embrace backward ideologies?They elected the first ever African-American as RNC Chairman. Maybe they are finally headed in a new direction as far as including more diverse members into their party.How can the Republican Party hope to move forward in the 21st century when they embrace backward ideologies?There can not be a more tired ideology than taxing working people to death in order to fund free loaders and special interest groups.
Just because America was tired of the republicans and decided to give the Democrats a chance does not mean we have all decided to be socialists.
If the Democrats stray from the mainstream they will pay.How can the Republican Party hope to move forward in the 21st century when they embrace backward ideologies?Hmmm, the first and second amendment of the Bill of rights are backward ideologies? Really? So freedom of religion is something you %26quot;progressive Democrats%26quot; want to get rid of? Faith in whatever religion you choose is wrong. I guess we should all bow down to your newly annointed messiah and hope his visions change us into a technical collective. Because communism is such a new and forward thinking ideology. Couldn't possibly be a failed ideology of the past that the dems have dusted off repainted and are trying to shove down our throats again. You can keep your communism, thank you very much. I still think free market capitalism is a pretty good thing. It just gets mucked up when communists hijack the system to start redistributing the wealth. Forcing banks to lend money to people who can't pay it back tanked the economy. And Democrats led the charge to do it. New technology is always driven by free market capitalism. Money makes the world go round. Guns, your basic fundamental right to protect and defend your own life and property, you want to give that up? Are you insane? Do you think magical elves will suddenly pop out of the ground and make everybody be nice just because you surrendered your rights? It doesn't happen. Gun control increases crime. It just turns citizens into helpless victims. But that seems to be the goal of the democratic party. You guys are the kings of victimization. You want everyone to feel like a victim and it bothers you when people have the courage to stand up for themselves and take responsibility for their own lives. You want everyone weak, helpless and hopeless so they will always have a hand out for the scraps you leave to them. Republican want people to be strong, independent, free thinking and self reliant. Republicans don't encourage hatred and fear. Fear is for victims. Informed citizens take charge of their own lives and fear nothing. But the democrats always want people divided. Divided by race, divided by gender, divided by economic class. From division comes struggle, hate and fear. Karl Marx knew that class warfare was the means to enslave the masses. That's why you democrat will never let class warfare die. How about you bolsheviks quit trying to bring us back to 1918 in russia and let us republicans live in the 21st century.How can the Republican Party hope to move forward in the 21st century when they embrace backward ideologies?Did you get the memo...They new %26quot;face%26quot;...Michael Steele
