The Republican Party has been accused a lot recently of being the "Party of No." For the most part, these accusations have been true. This is part of the reason why Republicans took such a hit in the 2006 and 2008 election cycles. However, I believe the GOP could easily become the "Party of Yes" by clearly and unequivocally making all of the following affirmations:
2) Saying yes to the sanctity of human life.
3) Saying yes to more rights for the accused.
4) Saying yes to states' rights.
5) Saying yes to peace at home and in the world.
6) Saying yes to lower taxes.
7) Saying yes to a balanced federal budget.
8) Saying yes to greater border security.
9) Saying yes to a replacement health care plan that is much better and less intrusive than Obamacare.
10) Saying yes to religious freedom.
11) Saying yes to private property rights.
12) Saying yes to the free market system.
13) Saying yes to unfettered free speech.
14) Saying yes to gun ownership rights for law-abiding citizens.
15) Saying yes to laws that treat all people the same, regardless of race, gender, religion, ethnic background, marital status, parental status, or age.
All of the above would be a sure path toward recapturing the House, the Senate, and possibly the White House. Republicans, are you listening?

Didn't I once hear something about a leopard and spots?Yes, this is a golden opportunity, but they still might blow it. They might be like the 1962 New York Mets that lost 20 of the games they were supposed to win no matter what.
