Why Democrats Will Never Run Another White, Male, Heterosexual Presidential Candidate
Red State ^ | 9/22/2013 | John Liberty

Posted on 09/23/2013 8:29:48 PM PDT by Signalman

Democrats have discovered a political shield as effective as the testudo (“turtle”) and phalanx battle formations employed by Roman legions and Greek armies. Although not nearly as heroic, this tactic is politically impenetrable and we’re likely to see it used by Democrats for a long time. The political shield is simply this: place minorities in power positions and when their policies are criticized, label that criticism as bigotry. America doesn’t like bigotry and will not support bigoted candidates or political parties. Once the bigot card is played, media focus is placed on the critic and their unfair criticism of the minority candidate – not on the policy. The shield is in place.

For years, Chris Matthews has defended Barack Obama by stating that conservatives don’t support his policies “just because he’s black” (even though he’s also half white). Matthews has stated that Obama has never committed a crime and has merely been an honest public servant (although the President admits to extensive illegal drug use in early adulthood and filed taxes using another person’s social security number). Obama ran for office on “change” rhetoric without explaining precisely what those changes would be or how they would be paid for. When pushed for details, he labeled those questions as bigoted and media questions stopped. Requests for details continued from conservative leaders and conservative media, but they were labeled as bigots just for asking the questions and for trying to stifle the progress being made by the first (half) black President. Details of the President’s policies? “You have to pass the bill to know what’s in it…”

Expect more minority shield tactics from Democrats in 2014 and 2016. They’ll be recruiting and running candidates who are some type of minority behind which they can hide unsustainable policies that accomplish little for the American people but solidify Democrat power in Washington. If she runs, Hillary Clinton is likely to use the minority shield to attempt to become the first “female president.” Her policies? Shhhh… don’t be a bigot.

It may be a “novelty act” but by the time they play it out, America will no longer be America.

I hardly recognize her now.

I live in South Texas, but I travel about six months out of the year for my job - mainly on airlines.

And sadly, no, people aren’t getting any smarter. My little circle is find, because I only choose to associate with people that have a brain in their heads.

But out among the great unwashed masses - oh my! Somebody must have put stupid pills in the water is all I can figure.

I once stated in a tagline that we needed a white, male, heterosexual Secretary of State. The Admin Mods suggested that I change my tagline.

None of this is going to matter if conservatives simply continue to replay the lie "You can keep your doctor" at every opportunity.

This lie has all the political power of "Read my lips, no new taxes!" on steroids.

It is the mark of the extremist to denounce their opponents in the most horrific political terms in order to divert attention away from their own policies and inherent racism..
The worst bigots I've had the displeasure of knowing were progressives. I've dealt with this mindset back in college. White student "activists" from comfortable backgrounds acting as if they were their friends and they "feel the pain" of those darker skinned and less fortunate than themselves, putting on some schtick pretending to be "down for the struggle". I wish I had these hypocrites under surveillance on a typical Saturday night of partying. When the brewskis flowed and the doobies were passed around, that's when they let their, pardon the pun, TRUE COLORS show. In vino veritas

Rubio is not now, and has obviously never been, a Republican.

The Democrats may run him for something, when he “officially” changes party designation.

I voted for him (shame on me) once.
I didn't vote for his ethnicity.
I won't get fooled again!

The way to beat that strategy is to not give a damn what they think and throw them out on their cans one at a time. If we can kill the PC state of mind and show it or what it truly is, they got no game.

Have you noticed any of your neighbors, family, friends or community members starting to wake up? Do you live in a blue or red part of the country?

Liberalism is an incurable mental disorder. Ever try talking to an old liberal?

Yeah, I have an old friend like that on FB. Just posted this picture of Bush in a golf cart and captioned "Bush spend 36% of his time on vacay" then had a picture of Obastard walking on a beach with the two daughters and captioned "7% on vacation."

I commented, Hell yeah, and I bet Chimpy BushHitler cheats on his scorecard. Eat your heart out, piker!

Their only option will be to run a black female next time around:

I’ve already been accused of bigotry by an friend who was trapped by her own words. She didn’t appreciate it when I replied,”Is it alright with you if I criticize his WHITE half?” That pretty much ended that conversation...

I think the race card has now been played out. It only works if you let them intimidate you with it.

Exactly. This will stop when conservatives and other decent Americans stop being such wusses and start getting tough and mean. And I'm not just talking about the politicians, either - I mean ALL OF US. Whenever some whacked out left-wing nutbag accuses you of racism, sexism, or whatever, you look them right in the eye and you say "YOU are the racist! And your bigotry makes me sick! You disgust me!" Say it loud.
