Republican View on Obama as President

These are the views that should be expressed by Republicans after the election in order for the Republican party to hold their head up high, amidst a non-republican election. Unless you have lived in a cave for the last six months, then you know that the Democrats have overtaken every electoral position possible. The ideal Republican needs to hold his head up in these rough times. Here are four steps members of the Republican Party should face.

Step 1. Admit the loss in the Race for the President, and likewise of the loss in Congress.

The first step to recovering is to solemly admit, and recognize the Democratic Party on thier recent achievement. It is unfortunate for the Republicans, but just like in sports, Political Sportsmanship should be recognized.

Step 2. Stop pointing fingers at who is at fault for the Republican Loss.

If we continue to point fingers and play the blame game, then the party will self-destruct. There is no one at fault for the Republican’s loss, except for our declining economy. If the staff members keep blaming Palin for McCain’s loss in the election, it will ruin Palin’s chances of ever becoming a predominant figure for the Republican Party. Outcasting valuable members only gives the media more ways to slam the GOP.

Step 3. Become a little more Bipartisan.

One of the biggest lessons that I’ve learned from this election is the importance of having bipartisan views. Both parties tried to appeal to the other, and in this day and time, you need votes outside of your own party to win elections. Obama and McCain both put out ads, trying to explain their bipartisan ties, each having his fair share. McCain definately had more experience in the ways of Bipartisanism (If that’s a word), because of his long history of “Reaching across the aisle”. Some of his valuable congress friends include individuals like Joe Lieberman.

Step 4. Support our President, regardless of his party or race.

I’m from down south where there is a strong conservative stronghold. Obama didn’t have a chance of winning my state, and I’m more than proud to live in a conservative state. But living in a conservative state, Obama is not well-liked. I think the only way to get this country back on track and to erase the division that has taken place between political parties this last six months is for America to unite under Obama. Let’s visit the mindset of the Founding Fathers, and create a greater since of Nationalism for America.
