Dude I was born a republican that is a cause I can get behind! If we want to win vs democrats and they think they can beat us... Lets just lie about the fact that we are republicans and say we are democrats if they ask!

I'll rule the day when a democrat thinks they can get into office without being a republican.

Dude...the republicans lost because they're no good at running things...the people have spoken.

What's interesting is how quickly you decide to lie about your beliefs, since THAT is one of the reasons your party got booted out in the first place. Time for some introspect.
