OUR OPINION: Old age without a safety net: No, thanks 
When it comes to rebranding the Republican Party, news about suicides among elderly people in South Korea wouldn’t seem very relevant.

It’s deja-vu all over again.

David Brooks, The New York Times, column: ‘Big government = bad’ philosophy fails again
Let’s just look at one segment, Asian-Americans. Many of these people are leading the lives Republicans celebrate. They are, disproportionately, entrepreneurial, industrious and family-oriented. But on Tuesday, Asian-Americans rejected the Republican Party by 3 to 1. They don’t relate to the Republican equation that more government equals less work.

House Speaker Al Carlson, R-Fargo, column: Vote Republican on Tuesday
America was built on opportunity, not dependency. It’s our responsibility to do as our parents did — to leave this county a better place than we found it.

Thomas Friedman, The New York Times, column: In Minnesota, ‘a fight for the GOP’s soul'
The state House and Senate Republican caucuses today are dominated by the tea party and libertarian followers of Ron Paul.
But here’s what’s telling. These GOP hard-liners, while able to win their more conservative “exurbia” and rural districts, are not doing well when it comes to overall state politics.

Matt Mutzenberger, Grand Forks, letter: Support the GOP’s endorsed candidates
The best way to win a seat for your party is to fully support the parties’ endorsed candidates. If Republicans had done that two years ago, Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., would have been defeated, and the U.S. Senate would be controlled by Republicans.

Cynthia Moothart, Minneapolis, letter: Shame on GOP for record in St. Paul
Since winning House and Senate majorities in the 2010 elections, Republicans shut down government, passed a budget resulting in higher property taxes, starved our schools through irresponsible borrowing, and brought divisive national politics to our front doors.
And that represents only a partial list of damage done.

Kathy Sheran, Mankato, Minn., column: Gridlock? Blame GOP's refusal to compromise
In short, the Republican majority has missed almost every opportunity to solve the real problems facing our state.

David Jeska, Plymouth, Minn., letter: ‘Fiscally responsible’ Minnesota GOP skips rent
The party that always is talking about fiscal responsibility and wants to tell us how to deal with our state and national financial crises — and also, of course, is prone to telling me how to run my personal life — can't even run its own house.

Rodney Nelson, Fargo, letter: GOP’s indifference, inaction hurt N.D.
There’s no need to wonder how one party came to run state government. After a brain drain, what’s left?

OUR OPINION: Santorum wins tea party’s blessing and curse
These objections don’t mean that if Santorum is the GOP nominee, he’d lose against President Barack Obama. But they’re huge obstacles in his path; and if Santorum wants to broaden his appeal beyond the Republican base, he ought to dismantle them one by one.

John Aron Trandem, Fargo, column: More to Cramer’s decision than meets eye
I can’t speak to what’s in Kevin Cramer’s heart, but his claim that he’s opening up the debate is simply false.

Larry Jahnke, Bismarck, letter: ‘Bravo, Kevin’ for bypassing convention
If I was contributing my money to any candidate in this process, I would want the people of the entire state to decide who they wanted for office, not the small minority of the people attending a party’s nominating convention.
