It doesn't matter - 2008 was probably the last election where the GOP had a chance to win nationwide.
The demographics have swung hard against us, and it would be another 30 or 40 years before enough of the Caucasian Baby Boomer nihilists had died off and we might have been able to reclaim the government again [although, by that time, the set of all Caucasians might be an absolute minority in the USA, at which point you'd simply have South Africa or Zimbabwe].
But Obama & the people around him [Ayers, Wright, Sunstein, Axelrod, Soros] are really hard-core Bolsheviks, and the USA as we knew it won't persist for much more than another five or ten years - if that.
You people simply don't realize quite how bad things are already, nor quite how ugly they are about to become.
It will probably require a shooting war to re-establish some semblance of a Free Republic in North America, and whatever emerges will not be the USA that we knew.
That is a lot to digest. Thanks for your answer.
Kay,
Your post is typical of the doom-and-gloomers here.
I have no doubt people said the same thing about America at past momentous times in our history. We are still here.
Winning for the GOP is pretty simple.
1) Actually offer some visionary ideas. This past election, we had nothing, while Obama talked to the people about a new America and gave what people saw as something different, a better direction (and since the GOP didn’t offer a decent alternative despite McCain trying, it is no wonder at least a few more members of the public decided that it didn’t really matter that Obama wouldn’t say how he would pay for all his plans).
2) REALLY WORK HARD to outreach to every group and explain specifically how we plan to help THEM. This does not mean capitulation to them, but actually bothering to give a crap about their problems and issues. Setting up outreach booths and spreading the conservative message and how it isn’t the boogeyman would go a LONG, LONG way to cutting the number of African-Americans and Hispanics voting Democrat.
3) Along with number 2, stop considering minorities the enemy and figure out how to get their vote. Hispanics especially are normally hard-working and family-centered people. Take advantage of that!
4) We must take the fight to the media in new, interesting ways. FR helps, but using the new media like Facebook, MySpace, Digg (which FR is starting to do.....do a search, as this is a great thing)......these are all critical. A lot of how Obama won was his outreach using technology. The GOP was behind. Texting, social networks.....it’s all critical now. And we must do what is necessary to KEEP the interest long after an election is over. That means updates to social network groups, occassional texts on policies etc. Keep people updated on the cause and why it matters or they may drift off.
Well, dear Kay, if that’s the way God wants it, that’s the way it will be, but I still think this is the time to get on our knees and start praying and petitioning Him as to what we can do. If this is truly end times stuff, we’re sunk, but if it isn’t, then we have another chance. It really IS up to Christians to vote, to pray to turn things around. Some really screwed the pooch this election cycle.
