Poll
Will Congress pass Obamacare by the end of the year?

I don't know who would make the best chairman of the Republican National Committee.

But I know the questions each candidate should be asked in any serious effort to identify the best communicator and organizer for the four years ahead.

Here are the key inquiries for the job interview process:

Why did the GOP lose in 2006 and why did McCain-Palin lose in 2008?

How great is the technology gap between the RNC and DNC? Please describe it in detail. How can it be closed? Who would you ask to oversee this part of the RNC's operations?

Why did the youth and Latino votes break decisively towards Barack Obama? How should the Republican Party address both demographics?

What amount of emphasis should the GOP place on national security, economic growth and the social issues? Each category of issues has a determined group of party activists passionate about their causes, so who gets the priority?

Please tell us what books have had the most impact on you in the past five years? What should the GOP's elected leaders and state chairmen be reading if they want to be informed on the most crucial issues of the day? Continued...

How the GOP cold find meaning
Every Republican needs to be able to state what is important about the party---and many can't do it.

If you don't believe in democracy, local government, the original US constitution, and the importance of the individual, then how on earth can you preach these things to other nations?

Every Republican should read the Constitution, and then prepare to defend it.

Then, at the next election, there will be something important to talk about.

Demand Obama PROVE US born citizenship
Act NOW: Demand Obama PROVE He's A US Natural Born Citizen!

Isn't arguing about "Obama's horrendous policies and cabinet picks" a little PREMATURE & PRESUMPTUOUS? He's simply NOT QUALIFIED to be president because he is not a natural US born citizen; and if the GOP were SMART they'd focus on this and ONLY THIS NOW UNTIL RESOLVED!
