I Agree With Newt: The GOP Needs to Move Away from Being Against Obama and Be For Americans

I have to agree with Newt's sentiment in his speech to the Republican National Committee.

"We have to get beyond being anti-Obama and we have to convince people you can have hope in America," Gingrich said on Wednesday. "What we have to do, in a sense, is be a party of optimism and a party of hope and show actual cases of how it can work."

Speaking at a Boston hotel adjacent to where Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney delivered his 2012 concession speech after failing to unseat Obama, Gingrich said the party needed to be more alert to ways Americans were changing, particularly in their use of technology.

That means not having a ton of symbolic votes to repeal Obamacare and instead fix some of the problems with it. Obamacare will be the law of the land soon so the GOP needs to understand that and try to shield Americans from the worst parts of it.

So incentivize small businessmen who are cutting the hours of employees in some way to counter Obamacare. Maybe offer them a sales tax reimbursement or a tax credit if they have over a certain amount of full time employees on salary or something.

In other words Newt is saying that the GOP needs to show how they will help Americans and instead of showing how they will cut things and "terrorize" the old, sick, and poor. In other words offer the 47% them a hand-up instead of a hand out.
