U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., spoke for millions of Republicans on election night when he told Fox News, "We need a housecleaning in our party, and we need a party that's going to go and tackle problems facing the American people. Take our timeless principles and apply them to today's problems and be the reform party we used to be."
John McCain and the Republican Party took a drubbing on Election Day because the Republicans lost their way. President Bush and the Republican congressional leadership transformed a party of conservative principles and reform into the party of earmarks and big government.
McCain's efforts to belatedly transform into the candidate of reform had a hollow ring after he raced back to Washington to lock arms with the Democrats to squander 700 billion tax dollars on a Wall Street bailout that hasn't worked.
Newt Gingrich and the rebels that secured the majority in Congress for Republicans in 1994 are mostly retired and gone. Their replacements are weak and ineffective, and a full-scale Republican Party overhaul is imperative. We must return to a principled and reform-minded agenda similar to that embodied in the bold 1994 Contract with America.

Good article about the housecleaning the conservatives need to do to get back on track.
