Although I am disappointed about the results of the election, I am the type of person who believes that we must stand behind our president. We can disagree with what he believes, and bills that he signs into laws, but we must respect him and the office. So, I believe that we must all pray for Barack, and hope that he uses sound judgement and wisdom in office.

Having said that… I want my party back. The Republicans are going to go back to Washington, and “reinvent” themselves. They aren’t looking to 2010 as much as they are for 2012. My hope is that they don’t look too hard, but go back to their roots. I believe two things must happen:

1) They must return to the party of Regan. Be fiscally responsible, use force as a last resort, and govern with dignity and strenth.

2) The religious right needs to go away. I believe that the faithful need to be present, and exercise their right to vote. I bring my religious convictions to the polling place. But… this is not what made the republicans strong in the ’80s, and I believe that they are the reason that the party has come crashing down.

As I look forward to what the republican party will do, I fear that they are going to search too hard, and miss the mark. I fear that they are going to become social moderates to attract independants and conservative democrats. This is not the way to go… it will lead to further distruction. The party needs to look back at the 80’s and early 90’s, and become the party of Regan and the party that tamed Bill Clinton.

We’ll see what happens.
