Should Republicans become Democrat-lite to get more votes, or should more Republicans vote?

I’ve been listening to the various excuses the media and conservative talkers are making for the Republican loss, and they range everywhere from women want abortions to Hurricane Sandy. But the most logical ones in my opinion are Republicans lost the 18-29 demographic which has a higher opinion of socialism than capitalism according to a Pew Report, and we lost the minority vote even though they are more likely to have traditional values, and many Republicans, particularly Christians, just didn’t vote.

Here’s the problem. Republicans can’t promise more free stuff—Democrats have that plan covered, and we know that when Reagan passed amnesty in 1986 (IRCA), it actually decreased the number of Hispanics voting Republican. We’ve learned that blacks will vote by party and race, no matter the black candidate or his record.

Black Republicans lost races to far less capable white Democrats with Obama money backing them. Also, those races won by Republicans for Congress or at the state level were won by the conservatives, not the traditional moderate Republicans, who are doing the hand wringing and saying Republicans need to be more like Democrats.
