because I believe the country was on the wrong track and as far as I could see, McCain had no IDEAS about how to get it back on track. Hence my problems with the Republicans and all these people who would criticize Obama. I keep hearing criticism of Obama and fear mongering, but I don't see anyone coming up with alternate proposals or new ideas to debate.

I watch Morning Joe most mornings. Joe Scarborough is a conservative Republican who served in Congress. He consistently makes more sense to me than any Republican currently sitting in a legislative position. He's written a new book "the Last Great Hope" concerning conservatism. I really want to read it.

One of the things he said this morning that I totally agree with -- is that Republicans have to get social issues off their platforms and get on with Constitutional conservatism.

If Republicans don't stop blaming Obama and get some new IDEAs out there, they don't have a chance. It's easy to say what's wrong with what the other guy is doing; but it's much, much harder coming up with actionable ideas. And please, don't anyone post that the Democrats are keeping them from doing it -- that's just a lot of HOGWASH.
