TOP REPUBLICANS MET RECENLY TO DETERMINE THE DIRECTION THE PARTY SHOULD TAKE. SHOULD THEY MAKE CHANGES FROM THE PLATFORM THAT LOST THEM  THE LAST ELECTION AND GET INTO A CONTEST OF GOVERNMENT GIVAWAYS AND TRY TO OUT DISTANCE THE DEMOCRATS IN THE FIELD OF FREEBIES SUCH AS BONUS DAYS FOR FOOD STAMPS OR A JACKPOT PRIZE FOR THE MOST DAYS UNEMPLOYED AFTER OBAMA TOOK OFFICE.  SOME SEEMED TO WANT TO FOLLOW SIMILIAR POLICIES OF THE PAST. BUT TRY TO EXPLAIN CAPITALISM TO VOTERS AND THAT GOVERNMENT DEBT REALLY IS SOMETHING WE ALL HAVE A PIECE OF AND IF WE DON'T PAY IT, OUR KIDS WILL--OR MAYBE EVEN THEIR KIDS.  

OR SHOULD THE PARTY DISBAND AND LET THE DEMOCRATS FIGURE IT OUT--IF POSSIBLE.
