And they’ll implement those reforms right after the next election, held under the present procedures, which maximize fraud and cheating. Something wrong with this picture? But even so, senior Rats are retiring. Leaving a sinking ship?
“”The (only) measurable difference between the Democrats and the Republicans today is that, in the main, the Democrat Party listens to its base. The Republican Party takes pitchforks to its base.”
Would agree pretty much with that statement, assuming you are talking about the Washington establishment parties. The possible equalizer, though, is that the potential GOP base is much wider than the ‘Rats, since conservatives are supposedly about 40% of the electorate, lefties of various stripes about 20%.”
It has to do with the demographics of Washington D.C. Politicians by nature as a group are of the personality type that likes to pay and please the crowd around them.
Politicians don’t just do as the Romans in Rome, they become Romans. The problem for us conservatives really is Washington D.C. itself, or rather the 90% democrat political culture thereto. You want to control your politicians keep them home as much as possible and vote remotely (from home) as much as possible.
We need to find theses folks and bring them back to the fold. Let them lead our assimilation & immigration efforts. Create a Congressional & state caucus for them ect.. The Media must be made to recognize their existences.
“Unfortunately, they are not exactly a political force here.”
Then we must make them so again. Find the League of Latin American Voters. Rebuild their membership and most importantly bring them to the forfrount of republican policy politics.
We need Spanish speakers to represent & sell the conservative cause in theses communities. Let nobody tell you they don’t exist they do exist and in Huge numbers just as they did before. We simply have to awaken them!
When California became a State in 1850, there were only 2,000-3000 Hispanics in the whole State.
