The problem with the Republican Party

I consider myself a Republican but there are many things I agree and disagree with both parties. This post will focus on the problems with the Republican party and what they need to do correct them.

It seems that the GOP has failed to adapt to changing times. They still focus on older members of their party to run the party and run for President. These older member are out of touch with what is currently happening in our country. The party needs to adapt and focus on younger members who have more moderate views on various issues such as abortion, health care and the economy.

One example of being out of touch is John McCain. I have a lot of respect for John McCain and what he has done for this country. He lost my vote, during the last presidential campaign, when he said that the middle class would be people who make around $2.5 million a year. REALLY??? If that is the case there are a lot of people who are very poor. I would say that if you think that making that amount of money is middle class, you are out of teach with real america.

If the Republican Party can attract younger, charasmatic members to the party, they will be able to compete with the President Obama and the Democrats.
