Republicans have been reduced to the image of nothing more than immature name callers who are mean, angry, bitter racist. It was bad enought that over the last 8 years while the Republicans were in charge, they acted very selfishly and irrisponsibly and never put the country first but instead put the country at risk on almost every level. (Katrina, Terry Shivo, failing economy, lowest graduation rates in years, insufficient infrastructure investment, and the list goes on.)
To make it worse, instead of offering change and a plan the McCain campaign rallies simply turned into whites only groups with members allowed to show the worst side of their personalities without correction.
American just decided that combination of the past 8 years of Republican rule and the lack of vision the McCain camp was showing was simply unaffordable.

Advice for the Party: It's easy to get lost in the political rhetoric, and we need to be able to show the people that we are a compassionate party [that] has ideas to really help people to make advances in this country. It's our responsibility to connect to the voters and give them hope for the future.

Major: Undecided
Advice for the Party: I think Repubs really need to look to youth outreach. Right now it's cool to be a liberal, it's cool to be a Democrat, but a lot of the core Republican morals, like individualism and government out of personal lives is very applicable to the youth—we don't want people telling us what to do. I think if the Republican Party made that more understandable to the youth we'd do a lot better.
