Republicans need to quit playing defense. They need to find a couple of good telegenic spanish speakers who will go on Telemundo and Univision look straight into the camera and ask— “We’re just wondering...are Latins the new blacks?”.
Republicans do not make for very good community organizers.
Republicans can alwats do like Democrats I suppose and just buy the votes, blacks and hispanics going to the highest bidder.
You know ,Just like last election.
Because of their efforts or because this administration is the most anti Israel in history? Why Hussein got a single Jewish vote is beyond me.
IF REPUBLICANS WANT TO WIN ELECTIONS... THEN THEY NEED TO ONCE AGAIN BECOME REPUBLICANS AND PROMOTE REPUBLICANISM FOR A CHANGE. EMBRACE REAGAN’S AGENDA AND CORRECT HIS PAST MISTAKES TO MAKE IT BETTER!

An article about the future of the GOP and the word “conservative”
- Not Found.
We can not reach blacks with the Republican ideology of economic and social freedom, but we can reach Asians and Hispanics not into the Leftist gimme race hate culture.
But first the GOP needs to figure out what American freedom is and decide they are for it. Currently, they are acting like hollowed out zombies with suits on.
Get rid of Boner. He can’t talk nor coordinate a coherent message.
How is that supposed to work?
Yeah, Romney sure did excite the base, huh? What was the conservative turnout again? Really ‘high’, right?
Both times BHO won the Establishment repubs foisted a moderate on us.
Second point: we can’t out-buy votes to form a leftist-lite coalition that wins. [What most ‘minority’ amnesty repubs keep calling for.] And it won’t be long before NO ONE can afford to buy leftist votes.
A critical reason the GOP is losing, is we are outsourcing.
Frankly that is a terrible, terrible idea.
Bring back US jobs. Now. That will bring back the GOP.
If the GOP will not bring back US jobs, why even support them?
Seriously. We are collapsing. Bring back US jobs.
Conservatives need to stop treating minorities like culprits and start showing them that they’re victims of the democrat ideology.
Lazy, arrogant GOP. ‘Come to me, I am not going to put out a ounce of effort to come to you’. That’s the attitude of a spoiled brat, with entitlement thinking.
I keep reading over and over again of the utter laziness and incompetence of the GOP. We were out-organized a thousand to one. How to get rid of these slovenly creeps at the top?
I agree with your statement. What we need to do is find a way to tell the populations who THINK our policies are geared toward “white men only” that we celebrate economic and social liberty for people of ALL RACES.
Frankly, except for the convention (which did a good job showcasing the truth), Republicans deliver that message very well.
Everyone not on the dole or employed by the beast understands that messge.
Why should Romney have tried to get non-white voters and supporters? (like Asians)
After all didn't you see the size of the all-white crowds at his campaign events in PA? And he won his seat in the Senate with white MA voters. What could go wrong?
Don't you remember all the posts here about 6 weeks ago? Romney is winning big. He won all the debates. Look at those crowds !
Someone pinged me afterward telling me that Romney would have won (beat O) with the 1980s Reagan era voter demographics. There you go. What? That doesnt kick O out of the WH?
the stupid party fits.
Fewer whites voted in 2012 than voted in 2008. If Romney would have had another 2 percent of the white vote Obama would have lost. Yet Romney had a winning issue that would have elected him in a landslide if he had had the courage to use it.
The issue is rampant, racially-motivated violence by blacks against white Americans, and Eric “my peoples” Holder’s public statements that white Americans are not protected from racist violence by Federal Hate Crime laws.
Romney could have hammered this racist double standard against whites with the well established “Equal Justice Under Law” credo of American justice. And there are dozens of timely, horrific, examples of black on white racist violence that he could have used in his political adds.
But the man like all Republican politicians is a coward. They ALL grovel before the race card. I thought Newt may have figured it out when his refusal to grovel before the black reporter in the South Carolina primary debate won him a standing ovation and the primary but he immediately dropped this issue like a hot potato and faded from view. Even Ron Paul cowered before the Race Card.
We now have Hollywood’s Jamie Foxx gleefully boasting about killing white people on Saturday Night Live and the audience cheers. Yet no Republican politician politician, to my knowlege, has made even the slightest protest against Foxx’s gloating race hatred, a race hatred that is manifested in thousands of black on white assaults, rapes and murders every year.
Eric Holder is right about one thing, although it a way opposite from what he meant. We are a “Nation of Cowards” on the race issue.
The Republican party is dead and rotten. It has no redeeming qualities. Since Lincoln it has been statist and has sought the status quo. Only Reagan tried to instill conservative, constitutional ideology in the party. His legacy is not reflected in today’s Republican party. Constitutional conservatives, including most minorities, have no political home. Only a patriotic party true to our country’s founding principles and documents can restore this once great nation.
It's not just demographics. I would say the ideology of white voters shifted too.
Exactly. Where are the GOP Saul Alinskys? Why are all the community organizers liberals and socialists? Why are there no community organizers for liberty or limited government? Samuel Adams (an Alinsky hero BTW) was first and foremost a community organizer. He was a community organizer for liberty. Right now liberals are mobilizing for a nationwide campaign for gun control in response to the Connecticut shootings. Once again conservatives will be playing defense. Conservatives should be mobilizing a nationwide campaign to end compulsory education and a call for greater incentives to homeschool. Where are our community organizers? As Rahm Emanuel said, “A crisis should never go to waste.” The shootings were a clarion call to end forced public education, not stricter gun control. Will conservatives get out the message, and organize to get it out. Not bloody likely. The conservative message should be— if you want to keep your kids safe-—keep them at home. Refuse to send them to school and dare the authorities to do something about it.
