Conservatives: what is the GOP to do now?

To see the election's outcome in a positive light, I see this as a chance for the Republican party to answer Mitt Romney's call to "clean our own house." The GOP message has been lost due to poor examples of leadership and the failure to practice what is being preached. Representatives of the GOP must be above reproach from now on, devoid of scandal, infidelities, and corruption. The message can only begin to be heard again when the GOP comes together in a spirit of integrity, hard work, and love of family, country, and God. Oh, yes, God must still be ever-present in our conscience and decision-making. As Romney said, "Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone."
