Do America a favor, Gov Lingle and change your party affiliation. We already have a party that panders to racial identities.
“Lingle said the national GOP needs to become less ideologically rigid and attract more ethnic minorities and women into its fold “
“Do America a favor, Gov Lingle and change your party affiliation. “
we have a minority party right now and your solution is to kick people out to make it smaller?
The idea of reaching out to minorities is a GOOD idea and doesnt require pandering to them.
You say “We already have a party that panders to racial identities” - we shouldnt do that, but I can tell you that getting only 30% of latino vote, 10% of black vote, 25% of Jewish vote, 25% of gay vote, and 35% of Asian American vote hurts us, and with those types of numbers the GOP managed to let Democrats rack up a huge advantage with 40% of the electorate, even winning whites 60/40 isnt enough to overcome it, and we certainly arent getting those numbers.
pandering is working just FINE for the Democrats, and if we dont pick the lock on that (not by changing our values or principles but by outreaching to these groups to affiliate with us), we are going to be in the wilderness for years or forever.
