Karl Rove knows that while the base complains and threatens, when it comes down to election day, they'll never vote Democrat -- so in that respect, we don't count. We're safely in their fold.
They try to broaden the base and reach out to Hispanics, the fastest growing demographic. From a political strategy prospective, Rove is correct.
Since you and I and most FR members will continue to vote Republican on election day, our whining and moaning doesn't matter. That's the reality.
Of course they won't. But a significant number - enough to easily offset the numbers gained in the Hispanic community by the GOP's pandering efforts - will choose (out of frustration) to either vote Independet, third party, or stay home. If "reaching out" to this "fastest growing demographic" actually worked then Rove's strategy might make some sense (ignoring for a minute that the real-world details of this strategy are slowing killing our nation), but as I mentioned history informs us that it doesn't work, and that the GOP's pandering efforts always fail. (They've been trying to "reach out" to blacks for decades now, but that groups still votes Donkey at a 90% clip).
If Rove's looking for success in the midterms he should recommend dropping the pandering, closing the border, repealing the anchor baby laws, cutting off the welfare freebies to illegals, and heavily fine (or jail) employers who hire them.
