As a liberal, I'd advise the GOP in the following way:

STAY THE COURSE! Everything is fine! Keep doing YOU!

Nothing...just what I thought Missile.

But hey, maybe some churches sell guns these days!

Bible study and trapshoot anyone?

God and guns will always be part of the fabric of the Republican party if they want to win. Try winning that House majority and those Governor's seats without the Tea Party and the Religious Conservatives. That will never happen.
Reminds of an old aging team that would rather stay competitive and never win rather ten blow up and start over for a real chance

The Patriots have been overachievers the past two years. It doesn't have the talent to compensate for injuries, and it wins so much because it puts in 99% effort in the regular season and plays with terrific schemes to mask its deficiencies.

But in the playoffs a good team at 99% will not beat emotional, talented teams that play at 100%. It's what happened against the Giants in 2011 and the Ravens in 2012.

To say "Guns & God" together just doesn't make any sense. Same as saying "hockey pucks and grass seed".

And Drewski proves my point below....he's an atheist.

I believe I was referring to an earlier post that mentioned those groups of people....those who love guns and those who love God.

But both groups you list above are not related...that was my point.

Neither loving guns or God are republican principles...they are individual choices and likes.

Now maybe if you had said, "Those who love the Christian God...", then you may have a point. But it would be very sad if the republican party were a Christian only club, wouldn't you agree?

Our society is becoming more and more secular that can't be stopped because it's the result of individual choice...not group or party choice.
