I feel like the reason the GOP is bleeding voters is they really are the party of no. Not just by disagreeing with Obama but their party platform. No on abortion, no on gay rights, no on pornography, no on government spending, no on welfare systems, no on immigration, on and on. I'm not saying it's right or wrong but they did loose me on the abortion, immigration, and gay rights issues. I wish the government spent a bit wiser or taxed a bit less, but I have to vote my conscious, not my pocketbook. How can we speak down on certain country's human rights issues when we still have some we are facing today?

If the GOP turned the corner on gay marriage and abortion, that would remove two of the biggest attack points the Democrats use against them. I'm not saying they embrace those two ideas. Just don't come out so strong against them. I can understand abortion being a tougher issue for people to come to grips with and can respect that. Gay rights though, I dunno how the party can still come out so strongly against that.
