How should the GOP run the upcoming Presidential campaign? What do you think?

The upcoming Presidential elections will mark a large decision by the American people.  R or D, the economy is a mess and we need leadership in a big time way!  Obviously, President Obama will be the D on the ticket and the R's are slugging it out now to see which one of them will get the nod.  Time will tell the final 2 running.

What should the GOP run this campaign on?  In my humble opinion that is a very easy question to answer.  There are 4 points for them to follow outlined below:

  1. The US NATIONAL economy
  2. Job creation
  3. Foreign Policy (a little bit as the President's main job by design is Foreign Policy, so it's in there)
  4. Lastly, REPEAT STEPS 1 & 2 ABOVE!
Now here is where I'm not in lockstep with the R's and more in line with Libertarian's (hereby will use L to stay in line with using D and R) to some extent.  If the R nominee says anything besides the 4 points above and in no way even has a dream about bringing up social issues, then the nominee needs to be kicked in the teeth!  For the L's out there, many hard core L's will say to do nothing but the Constitution and everything else is a free for all.  Of course I'm generalizing but you get my drift.  

To the GOP out there; news flash, if the economy stays stagnant is it is now come next November, then the D's have nothing to run on.  They will have to do the class warfare thing (like they are doing now) and rolling around in the mud and slinging that mud on whoever the GOP puts in the campaign.  Please, please, please don't do as you have so often in the past and go after the pitches in the dirt!  The D's always bait you into it and throw you that pitch in the dirt and wow, the GOP swings at the pitch!  STUPID!  

Now if the R gets into office next November, then don't forget what got you there!  Do NOT pull out the R wish list and do what the D's did this time around.  For God's sake, please NEVER put the moral crap on the table ever again.  

I used God on purpose.  I'm a christian and believe in the man upstairs.  I believe in the golden rule and try to treat people as I would like to be treated.  I try not to hold grudges and turn the other cheek.  I do this because that's what I think is right and guess what?  NOTHING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, STATE GOVERNMENT, OR ANY KIND OF GOVERNMENT EVER DID TO MAKE ME THAT WAY!  Never has, never will be the case.  My parents, family, friends, and community helped teach my morals to me and I would like to think they did a good job.  I'm all for morals and wish the world would be the Garden of Eden again.

To quote a TV show my Mom and Wife both like, Monk...."Here's the thing..."; You can't legislate morality!  Leave the truly horrible moral offences up to, hmmm....what's that thing...., ahhh yes, the LAW.  Yepper, the moral offences that is world and culture wide found to be horrible in nature such as murder, rape, theft, etc. are all ready taken care of in the criminal justice system.  Therefore I say again unto the GOP.  Stick to the 4 steps above for this coming and every Presidential campaign going forward.

Now, I could go on with this one but it's time for bed.  Please let me know what you think and what you would do if you could run the show!
