This is EXACTLY why the Republicans lost last week. Because Americans of darker skin tone (Black, African American, whatever the nomenclature is for today), see Republicans as the "party that's just about money". Democrats have rewritten the policies to make folks believe they are against racism, and sexism, and classism. It's beyond ludicrous, it's... well, they've gone plaid.

Just infuriates me to no end that folks don't want to actually read and understand what each political party stands for, and vote accordingly.

And then the "fiscal conservatives" push the social conservatives to the fringe, saying that Republicans can't win with them.

As if most of America is going to get passonate about a few spolied trust fund babies crying about their next estimated tax payment, and complaining that $5 million isn't enough to inherit tax-free.

This is a stupid country, and there’s nothing that can be done about that.

It’s really sad that black people seem to forget Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream that people will be judged on the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

The argument that the Republican party is the party of “rich” people is illogical. If it were true, all Hollywood stars and pro athletes would be Republicans. But they aren’t, are they?!

And by the way, I am getting really, really sick of the word “folks.”

Remember a few years ago, when the La Raza types suggested “A Day Without Mexicans”? I propose “A Day Without Whites.”

Its funny yet sad to watch the ignorant on this forum jostling with the wake up call that some of us have known for 30-40 years

And you know what....most of y’all will remain willfully ignorant

Its probably too late anyhow

I’m tired of explaining reality to stupids

Blacks voting Democrat has NOTHING to do with class, culture, or race. It has EVERYTHING to do with the Democrat party being Santa Clause giving out free money. Blacks have their votes easily purchased through free money. Democrats are the party of freebies and blacks respond well to that. Period. End of discussion.

All the black talk about “equality” or anything else ALWAYS ends with them getting something for free.

It’s not just Americans of darker skin tone who see the Republicans that way. What I heard all my life in almost 100% white areas of Pennsylvania is that the Republicans are “for the rich.”

Romney won with people with incomes over $50,000 and lost with people with incomes under $50,000 by the exit polls, by at least 10 points on either side of the coin.

What the Republicans need to convince people of is that their policies don’t just benefit wealthier Americans. Solve that problem, and the party could dominate again.

The fact that Mitt never once brought up the facts is what gets me.

He never once mentioned the REPUBLICAN party is what pushed the civil rights acts through.

He never once mentioned that he FATHER marched with MLK.

He never mentioned that the DIM party is historically the party of real racism and Jim Crow laws.

The republican establishment NEVER asserts itself and I think it is clear evidence that there is really only 1 political party in this country. I’m going to change to independent—by the time any presidential election reaches my state the nominee has already been chosen by the media, Iowa and new Hampshire. (FL)

(I don’t understand why folk can’t see the Republicans are just about money.

No,they are about freedom, natural rights, and the production of wealth which leads to prosperity.

Sigh.It is so easy to be a libtard when you are an ignorant victim of progressive education.

The current American Marxist line, from someone who apparently either works for the Ministry of Propaganda, or should.

“It’s a troubling realization. Not only because of the political ideologies”

What’s troubling is that there are citizens in this country who choose to be slaves. It seems that victim-hood is a lifestyle that some actually enjoy.
