They don’t call ‘em the Stupid Party for nothin’.
Clearly, if Republicans want to get elected, they need to somehow win over the dead people vote.
Dead people are one of the Democrats’ most reliable voting blocks. Plus they vote early and often.
Klueless Karl Rove is again proven to be wrong. Far more White conservatives will stay home again if the GOP goes the McCain/Rubio route for amnesty.
The GOP needs to stop with the fantasy scenarios and get down to the very serious work of trying to win governorships and Congressional races. The White House isn’t in the cards anymore.
There are factions within the black coalition partner of the Democrat party. Some of them are ripe for disaffiliation!
It’s all about demographics now....not so much about the economy anymore. Romney actually won a higher percentage of the white vote in 2012 than Ronald Reagan won in 1980, meaning that if demographics had not changed dramatically since 1980, Romney would have won in an even greater landslide that Reagan did that year (he only lost six states).
I have a feeling the Obama temper tantrum is going to be fr more pleasurable than a Romney presidency.
But hey, we’d better give them amnesty as fast as we can, right?
Not to mention votes they will lose if they support amnesty. It is a lose/lose situation for our country and the Republican politicians. So why are some supporting it? Who knows, but might want to follow the money.
I’ve wondered if Norquist and his crowd think if they keep going left they will peel off a good percentage of the liberal white vote as they become disenchanted with Obama. They MUST know they’ll never get the socialist hispanic vote.
My favorite Norquist quote:“I started out as a right-winger, and when I retire I want to be a squishy middle-of-the-roader,” he jokes, chortling at the thought.
2014 and 2016: Go White, go Right, or go home.
Then we are screwed forever.
Time to self deport. Where? I don’t know. Certainly not here.
“..one more illustration of how the Republicans in pursuit of the Hispanic vote are wasting their while losing many white votes from voters who are offended and sick of GOPe pandering to groups.”
It reminds me of how Republicans focused on the Independents! Well, Romney got the Independent vote this time, but STILL LOST!
Time for the Republicans to be concerned about energizing the BASE!
Tell me Freepers: Which segment of the white vote are we not getting but that are not? We are not getting secular whites, white single women, and white single moms. What, pray tell, do we do to get these folks, none of whom seem to like conservatism? I see no evidence of a “hidden conservative vote” anywhere. Hence, why I am despondent when I look at the numbers.
