I'm obviously not.

Here's a couple answers:

Stop pandering to the religious right.

The Religious Right? Because 95%+ of African Americans and 70%+ of Hispanics don't share any values with the Religious right?

Are you kidding me?

Stop pandering to the racist extreme. How can any sane American take the tea party message seriously when all you see is signs with racist words and images, and gun toting faux patriots claiming Obama is gonna take their guns? Again, most of America is sane and centrist, and they're OK with a social safety net and public spending on Sesame Street.

I reject the entgire premise. For example, I posted a funny "Smug Obama Smilie" today, and I was called a RACIST for having done so. A ****ing smilie.

I'm pretty ****ing tired of it tbqh. Any word spoken by a non-liberal is equated to racism, and it's a lie and it's bull****. The Tea Party certainly had it's fringe, like Occupy had it's building burning, woman raping fringe. The core of the Tea Party is absolutely not racist, and frankly I'm tired of hearing this lazy lie being used as a cudgel to beat everyone right of center.
Stop harping on gay rights and abortion. Again, this ship has sailed. America wants abortion to be legal, and they're now OK with gay marriage. Freakin' drop it, already. The country is not going back from this.

Stop pushing trickle down economics. It has failed EVERY SINGLE TIME it's been implemented.

And Social Welfareism/Collectivism has a better record?

Tell me, how come after so many years of mostly Democrat Rule, Blacks still are so far behind in cities where an (R) has barely ever held a set, like Washington DC.

START focusing on core conservative values; hard work, personal responsibility, smaller (but more efficient) government, lower taxes across the board, and a strong defense without out of control spending.

I.e. The Tea Party.

/facepalm

These are ideals that Americans of all stripes can get behind. Liberals DO NOT want a welfare state or a food stamp state, and you know this.

Bull****, pure unadulterated bull****. Liberalsism/Progressivism IS, at it's very core, a Social Welfare State/Redistributionist/Collectivist movement.

To imply otherwise is as dishonest as calling teh Tea Party as a whole racist.

Stop acting like people of color do not share these same ideals, because quite frankly it's insulting.

If that were true, (D) would never win 98% of their vote. Because your limp list of supposed ways to change is completely full of typical liberal-propaganda bull****, and demonize-the-other-side lies.

Your best argument is "give up on gays and abortion", which of course will never happen. Abortion is murder in their eyes.....tell me, if liberals think a lack of Universal State Paid Healthcare is a "Holocaust", how willing do you think liberals would be to simply "drop it" on something they felt was murder?

It's almost like you expect (R) to simply become a softer, slightly-less-liberal (D). Which, given you are a liberal obviously, is exactly what I'd expect. An "opposition" party that offers no opposition, supports all the same things you do only slightly less of it, is the best thing a party can have. It means they'll almost never lose.
