The GOP wants our Input

[TexasGal]

The GOP has launched a website where they want our input on what they are doing wrong:

This is truly pathetic.

GOP, here's a 5 step program that will return you to power and make you the party of the people.

1. Read the constitution
2. Follow the constitution
3. Don't compromise..........if the constitution doesn't expressly allow you to do something then you can't do it.
4. Rinse
5. Repeat

ETA: In the comment section at the end, I also asked why we allow states that traditionally vote (D) in the general to pick our candidates for us. States that actually support the eventual nominee don't have a voice in the primary until the blue states have narrowed the field to unacceptable candidates.

Done. Wish they had let you "weight" the issues in order of importance rather than "select one"

Unlike our sitting president, I am not a constitutional scholar, but a strict adherence to the constitution may be more revolutionary than we suspect. No Air Force, no FBI, no ATF, etc. Would the Coast Guard be in there? I believe the US marshalls and the sercret service are in, but may be mistaken.

Anyone with more constitutional know-how input?

Militaries would fall under, "...provide for the common defense." Read it through a couple of times and it'll blow you away with what was written and how far we've diverted from it and the republican government (as in republic, not the party).
