He told reporters that focusing on social issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage is causing the Republican Party to lose voters.

Talking Points:
The Republican Party needs to stand strong for both social & fiscal conservative values. Without pro-life, pro-marriage voters, the Republican Party would have lost by a much bigger margin than it did.
On fiscal issues, Kevin DeWine didn't live by his own advice. As a state rep, Kevin voted for Bob Taft's tax increase--the largest tax increase in state history---plus he voted for the massive Gas Tax Increase & 151 other fee increases (ie, drivers license fee).

New Ohio chairman says Republican
party suffering 'identity crisis'A fixation on social issues, continuing scandals and a worn out message are costing the Republican Party support from the young voters it needs to remain viable, the incoming chairman of the Ohio Republican Party told reporters today.
For too long, DeWine said, social issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage have driven the GOP agenda, causing it to lose voters looking for pragmatic solutions to everyday problems. "We have to exchange a fiscal message and economic message in for a social message that has dominated the messaging of this party for the last decade. We have to re-engage the middle class, step up with an agenda that solves problems and puts people first." (Whole Article)
ORP deputy chair Kevin DeWine told reporters at a press conference last Thursday that the party has to, "exchange a fiscal message and an economic message in for the
social message that has dominated the messaging of this party for the past decade," and said the GOP has had a "distracting focus on social issues." "He's wrong, he's just dead wrong," said Lori Viars, a leading activist and organizer in Republican politics and executive director of the Family First political action committee. Viars said the passage of amendments in 30 states limiting the definition of marriage to between that of a single man and woman shows that social conservatism is still popular. Ohio Right to Life executive director Mike Gonidakis said DeWine doesn't look like an effective future chairman. "Based on his comments last week, it appears that he just doesn't understand the party and how to energize the base, and quite frankly, and most importantly, how to win elections," he said. Gonidakis said DeWine had a perfect voting record on abortion issues while serving in the state House and was confused as to why he seemingly wants to move the party away from a social-conservative message. Viars said she personally wants DeWine to step down from the leadership. "Because I think it shows that he doesn't understand the base and that's a problem if you have a party chairman who doesn't understand the base," she said. (Whole Article)
GOP in Ohio searching for fresh identityRepublicans eye expanding base"If you add to that the growing frustration over a five-year war, the unpopularity of a Republican president, the distracting fixation on social issues, and never-ending ethics concerns both in Ohio and nationally the electorate said it had enough, and I can't say that I blame them," he said.Mr. DeWine threw out a series of names that he considers to represent the party's future, among them U.S. Sen. George Voinovich, Speaker of the House Jon Husted, Auditor Mary Taylor, and state Sen. Mark Wagoner (R., Ottawa Hills)."What the party needs is a new set of faces and a new set of ideas," he said. "It's what the party needs to do not just here in Ohio, but what the party needs to do nationally." (Whole Article)

Firstly, I am a happily married man with kids and therefore I would not want to jeopardize this opportunity to change my financial status that will give my family a secured future.
I got your information during my search through the Internet, it may interest you to hear that I am a man of PEACE and don't want problem, but I don't know how you will feel about this, but I am telling you that this is real and you are not going to regret after doing this transaction with me. I only hope we can assist each other. But If you don't want this business offer kindly forget it as I will not contact you again.
I have packaged a financial transaction that will benefit both of us, as the Branch Manager of the Eco Bank Of Ghana, It is my duty to send in a financial report to my Head Office in the capital city Accra-Ghana at the end of each year. On the course of the last two years report (2006), I discovered that my Branch in which I am the Manager made a proceed of $12,850,000.00 (Twelve Million Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars) which my Head Office are not aware of nor must they know that I am involved in this transaction.
I have since place this fund on what we call SUSPENSE ACCOUNT without any beneficiary. As an Officer of the bank I am not directly connected to the fund, this is why I am contacting you for us to work so that you can assist in receiving this money into your Bank Account for us to SHARE, while you will have 35% of the total fund. Note there are practically no risk involved, it will be bank to bank transfer, all I need from you is to stand as the Original Depositor of this fund who made the deposit with our branch so that my Head Office can order the transfer to your designated Bank Account. If you accept this offer to work with me, I will appreciate it very much. As soon as I receive your kind response, I will give you details on how we can achieve it successfully.
