As a Republican, it’s hard to confront the reality of where we stand in the realm of American politics. We have presided over two continuing wars, an economy in turmoil and corruption on all levels of government (state and federal). We let the power and prestige of those positions get in the way of what our true job should have been, and the American people rewarded us justly last week.
But all is not lost.
This defeat in a historic election is a time to regroup and reintroduce the American electorate to the GOP. There’s always an opportunity in every situation and we have that opportunity today.
We must get back to the roots of who we are. We must talk - more importantly, prove – that we are the party of smaller government, lower taxes and fiscal responsibility. We are the party of strong defense and limited government in every aspect of life. We must remove the stereotype of a party with old white men running things in a smoke filled room and show the true, inclusive nature of the GOP.
We have an opportunity and over the next four years, we must not let this opportunity pass us by.

Election Day '08
It's hard to believe that a nearly two year run to the White House has reached it's end.
Today (if you haven't voted early), hopefully everyone who reads this blog will go to the polls and vote for our next President of the United States.
I've obviously been absent on posting a blog over the past three weeks because I wanted everyone to listen and think for yourself.
I hope that you look through the media hype and broad stroked words to see candidates for who they really are. In these uncertain international and economic times, there's no doubt we need experience at the helm. Not idealistic dreams. Yes, we need change, but we need the right change.
With this being the day America votes, this may seem like a last minute plea from a Republican blogger who's post, when read between the lines, is pro McCain. But with an election day message of hope (ironically), I want everyone to vote with their head, not the idealism of your heart. Yes, a message of change and hope can be a good thing for encouraging a better tomorrow, but in the realistic world, acting with experience can guide us through any storm.
In every American election, history is made every four years no matter who is running. With that being said, go stand in line and be involved in this distinct and unique American process. Go vote!
I'm voting for McCain and I hope you do as well.
