Um, how about we start with the truth; that homosexual behavior is harmful to both the person who engages in it, but also to those children growing up without a parent that is needed.
How about we not forget the truth that homosexuals are lost human beings ~NOT~ more, and not less guilty than the rest of us. How about the fact that Christ can free from sin, rather than demonizing people.
How about the fact that despite this truth it is reasonable to support gays having equality before the law in CONTRACT Law, but a RADICAL proposition to support the redefinition of Marriage!

“....vision of growth, opportunity, prosperity, and personal responsibility...”
This has to be a joke.
“We have serious, serious problems in this country.”

That’s for certain! Talking about how the GOP can attract minorities now is probably as important as asking who grew the hemp as the noose is placed on your neck.
Yeah, that's exactly how the GOP needs to approach a Hard Left ethnic group.
Because emphasizing Conservative principles like self-reliance and stoicism in the face of adversity might make them dislike us.
That is so delusional.
As to the original question about what Democrats have done lately.....
Well, for starters, 21% of government employees are Black, but only 13% of the population is Black.
Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
The secret would be to put Dr Carson on a ticket with Cruz or Paul.
Carson is an inspiration for black people, well, white folks too.
We need young voters and we need to inspire black people to see their lives can be a success.
Running a woman up against the Hillary would be a mistake.
redneck,
I think you’ll be very disappointed with Asian voters, too.
Pew Research did a study on Asian voting patterns last year.
Only Filipinos vote close to 50-50 for the GOP.
Vietnamese are 60-40 Democrat.
Chinese, Japanese, and Asian Muslims are even worse.
Indians, who are the best educated ethnic group in America, vote more than 80% for Democrats!
I was aware of those statistics. I wonder whether Asian voting patterns can be changed (screw the Muslims), or whether instead they will reflexively vote DemocRAT against their material interest like so many Jews do.
I’ve come to the conclusion that Conservatives should aggressively court white Democrats.
Over the last 20 years, the Conservative share of white voters has grown from 55% to 62%.
Since we are the largest voting bloc, that is a significant number.
In spite of all the Conventional Wisdom about Republicans “losing” the Youth Vote, Romney got a majority of 18-29 year old white voters, including a 1% majority among young white women.
I say...go where the most likely converts are!
I think hatred if the GOP is so ingrained within the Black community that it’ll take at least two generations to get to 20% of the vote. I have two friends who are Black Conservatives ... They dare not speak their ideological or partisan leanings to family and Black friends lest the be labled Oreo and Uncle Tom.
Outreach to Blacks (and moreso Hispanics) as a means of defusing the racism charge with white, Asian and Hispanic voters has definite potential.
I think you are right.
I’m not sure why that was aimed at me. I’m just stating the reality in the minority community, is that they do not support the homosexual agenda.
Equality in contract law is ALREADY guaranteed. Contracts signed by homosexuals are not somehow invalidated by that fact. They just cannot have a marriage contract, because that’s a contract before God, and is not extended beyond one man and one woman.
Bump.
I’m not ready to say “Tea Party not GOP” but I’m not averse to saying it.
Make up your mind Republicans.
Time’s a wasting.
In order to be a "nice" person, a "good person," the Democrats can convince us that one must, MUST I say, immediately vote for any Black person. One must, MUST I say, be in favor of Gay Marriage. One must, MUST I say, shy away from any controversy. One simply cannot be angry. Politics can be so nasty and confusing, that 5 million perfectly "nice" Republicans stayed home rather than become involved with them in 2012!
Although of course this idiot-syndrome affects men, it is particularly pronounced among white female voters, aka "The Soccer Moms," who are the major target of the RINOs as directed by Karl Rove.
You see, well-meaning "good" women (and "nice" men, too) will vote out of "sympathy." As in: "That poor Black fellow, his people have been held down so long! He deserves this. Poor Ted, imagine the horror, trapped in that sinking car with that hussy! Of course, the government must "help" the poor and the elderly ... single moms ... AIDS people!"
Go now. Be "nice."
Thanks for the link. Where was that guy last year?
Doing th esame kinds of thing he’s doing now. The guy’s name is Mike Carroll, he’s got several dozen videos on youtube.
Well yes, that means that that group doesn’t actually have a clue!
There are good and bad attributes of all Parties. Still trying to figure out where I could fit. Today, not any, that means no vote for anyone. Too bad others don’t do the same (especially on the Democrat side). Gave up on the Republicans though even as their past statements were good. Today, it is a matter of influencing the younger crowd and is NOT part of my platform. They like others place their finger into the wind more than I can tolerate. Either you have specific beliefs on your side or you are flexible and as a result immoral and have no beliefs that hold you to any actual actions.
Example: Why not just keep giving your constituents what they want even you have to borrow the money. After all it gets you elected so if that is the end benefit, why not! After all, is purchasing votes immoral? Does it effect the overall state of the Union? Does anyone elected even care?
