re: What do you feel are the 3 top principles the GOP currently stands for?

1. Even though you've been kicked in the nuts 1,212,811 times by the Dems- keep showing you are the bigger person. It's OK when they drag their nuts across your face, in fact they're used to it.

2. Keep surrendering. It's statesmanlike and you might get you some good press, and might get the other side to deal fairly....even though that has never happened.

3. Play to the press, eventually they'll see you're a good guy and treat you fairly.

I can't think of much else they've done consistently enough to call it a principle.
