GOP looks inward after some bitter fights, losses
A newly urgent debate about how to reshape and redefine their party, [and] a deeper rethinking of the party’s longtime positions on bedrock issues like guns and immigration.
And the other things?
Social issues, deficit-cutting, generational change, same-sex marriage, taxes, guns, energy, immigration, spending, abortion and foreign policy.
That last one received those lone two words in the whole piece. No mention of Ron Paul or any dissent or questioning of empire.
President Obama intends to test the willingness of Republicans to
bend on those issues in the first months of his new term, when he plans
to push for stricter gun control and a comprehensive immigration
overhaul.
