Some Friendly Advice For My Republican Friends

Yes, I do have Republican friends.  In fact, I'm proud to say, that I have Republican friends that I love and respect.  So, while it should come as a shock to no one that I'm very happy with the results in this year's election, I admit that Democrats don't have the lock on good ideas.  So, even at the risk of loosing some ground, in the spirit of conciliation and in an effort to try to find common ground, I would like to offer some advice to the Republicans for future elections.

1) Rape is always forcible.
2) Rape is not method of receiving a gift from god
3) Rape is never, ever okay.
4) Women are over 50% of the population, telling them that middle aged white men know more about their bodies than they do is probably not a good idea.
5) Middle aged white men is a shrinking electorate, running on racism will not get you elected any longer.
6) In polls regarding religion, "None" is over 10% and is the fastest growing segment.  You might want to start paying attention to us.
7) The GLBT community makes up from 5% - 10% of the population, alienating the entire segment because your magic book tells you that they're immoral only makes things tougher for you.
8) Not all of the country is stupid, you can only change your mind so many times before people start to figure out that you're full of shit.
9) Either give the teabaggers your party and start a new one or kick them out and make them start their own extreme right wing party.
10) If you run on lower deficits and smaller government don't do the opposite when your party has the presidency.
