Republicans prepare for a comeback: ‘We can’t come off as a bunch of angry white men’

No, no, no. They have been trying that for years already, and everyone sees it as cynical window dressing.

Be that as it may, although I doubt that it is "everyone" that sees it as "window dressing". I disagree that it is. Female and black Repubs should be getting out there on their own and telling the "media" that they are NOT "window dressing" and that it is cynical and hypocritical on the part of the "media" to imply such things. Be proactive, don't wait for the "media" to accuse them of it. Go right out there and make it part of their speech.

But it can't be just one or two people, it has to be so many that the "media" can't ignore them and what they say. Make sure it's in every interview, casual on-the-street or in the studio. Whatever the question, be sure to mention how the "media" FALSELY accuse Repubs of things and protect the Dems.

This is war, folks. If you didn't know that, well, now you know what Zero's plan for his second term is. Get with it!

Millions of us “angry old white guys” stayed home last November and did not vote for the liberal-lite Romney. That is why he lost.

And....

That's why we have Obama for four more years. Do you really, honestly think it will be better than if we had Romney in office now?

Too many conservatives/Repubs condemn everything we try to do because they refuse to accept a step-by-step approach to things. It's everything-right-now, or nothing; only the purest of the pure will do. Good luck with that. Oh, and "thanks" for four more years of Obama.

“Be that as it may, although I doubt that it is “everyone” that sees it as “window dressing”. I disagree that it is.”

Well, obviously not everyone, I was generalizing. I mean the majority of people, be they Democrat, Republican, or Independent. People are gullible, but they are not gullible enough to see a Republican convention where more than half of the speakers are minorities, while 90% of the attendees are white, and not see it as window dressing.

We are an overwhelmingly white party, and our representation generally reflects that, so you don’t achieve those levels of minority prominence in the party, especially not in such a short span of time, without it being a deliberate tactic. I mean, if I were a black Democrat Congressman or Lt. Governor languishing in obscurity who wanted a shot on the national stage, I would just switch parties. Within 2 years, every Republican in the country would know my name and I would be getting prime time speaking gigs at the national events, even if I had accomplished nothing of note.
