Write them off. Today. It is a waste of time and political capital to ever think that they will leave the plantation. And, why should we waste said time and capital on only 8% of the vote, anyway?
I've got to play devil's advocate here... The Jewish vote is about 2% of the population, and they vote over 60% "socialist" (your terminology), about 24% Republican. To put it in comparible terms (to African American terms), it translates to the same exact number of votes. To make it even more controversial, most of the Jewish votes are concentrated in some of the most non-contested states (NY, Cali, NJ) that go Democrat anyway, and Florida which is pivotal... Black votes are much more scattered throughout the country, and many states could flip by a 1% margin (see the 2000 vote)... Given the fact that in absolute terms, we receive the same exact number of votes from both of these voting groups, would you ever advocate not caring about the Jewish vote, and writing that off? Every voting constituency counts, as long as we don't go off the deep end and lean left to gather votes.
Although, please answer the question: why is GWB courting that vote?
It's the margins... There are several states that could potentially be tos-ups, especially when you factor in the democratic "cheat" factor... I genuinely believe that a great deal of the population has been conned by 50 years of liberal brainwashing- that they're the only party that cares about the minorities and the common man, while the reality is that they want the minorities to be embolden to them, relying on them for government gifts. I truly want the Republican party to become dominant for decades. The best way to do that is to continue to educate, pound the message over and over, that the Republican party cares about the average person... Over time, several members of the democratic party will switch over... Think about it... In a few years, the hispanic and African American votes will surpass the white vote... If we don't reach out to try and obtain their support, even if it's babysteps, our future looks bleak. While I would never espouse changing our platform wholesale, I'd have no problem continuing to reach out to communites that are not typically considered Republican. Consider the future demographics.
That's key. Look at where black dollars are being spent. Most people ignore the fact that were the "black economy" of the US consolidated as a separate state, only California would outspend it?
That belies considerable size and strength -- were you able to harness that strength.
But it takes work. And that is work that many are not willing to do, because the benefit will not come immediately. That benefit will take literally years to come to fruit.
And let's not forget that while we work, so will our adversaries. This will make that work that much more difficult. But not insurmountable.
