In short, the same way America has inspired and drawn people from around the the world!
From PajamasMedia; an article titled Does the GOP Have Any Real Shot at Attracting Black Voters?
Dont accept the premise of the question.
The focus needs to be on liberty and freedom. Low taxation and the rule of law. Conservative values vs corruption and Statism.Libertas
The GOP can attract all kinds of people,,, just as our nation already has!!! Why is this such a struggle???? America,,, Christian America has already proven it can attract people from all around the world!!! Our arms have already been open to people from every nation, creed and color!!!
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of you teaming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
These words on the Statue of Liberty were there before Obama!! They do not speak of skin color or sexual persuasion. They do not speak of race or religion. Just all those who yearn for freedom.
You want the GOP to appeal to the gays??? Appeal to them the same way!! How many gays really want to live in a police state??? How many gays really want to pay high confiscatory taxes?? How many gays want to live in a state where their properties can be seized, their homes invaded, crime is out of control,,,, on and on. When you switch the focus from freedom and liberty and on to some group,,, you are wrong!! Everyone yearns for freedom! Freedom and liberty will draw the world to your doorstep! As America has proven!! Freedom and liberty will do the same for the GOP!
So, essentially, the Republican party leaders need to be replaced with people who actually want freedom, liberty, and private property rights instead of wanting to be Democrat Lite.
Republican Party can start with finding leaders with spine, guts, and gonads. So far, none have been found.
Well said.
