I couldn’t agree more.
If I don’t start seeing more minorities and more females, then I will be done. Period.
Jindal and Palin are our best hope, and we need to recruit more like them and support them. I’m tired of seeing the party run by people who have NOTHING in common with me.

Thank you for saying that. The lily-whiteness of our party is something I wish people discussed more around here. America is a diverse country, getting more so every day. For whatever reason, minorities see the GOP as the enemy, even though many Republicn principles align with their own. The GOP needs to figure this one out in a hurry. The makeup of our party today is not inclusive, it’s not America and it’s not the future.

The sad truth is that America on TV DID look more like the young, energized Obama than the elderly McCain. Palin wasn;t enough to overcome the fact that McCain sounded half in the grave this campaign.

We need to return to rock solid conservative positions and find candidates under 50 years old. I worked for the Bob Dole campaign and it hurt to watch this great man and great patriot become irrelevant to the masses. He was too old to be an effective president. The Baby Boom generation doesn't see itself as old and they can't relate to candidates of their own era. They look to youth. IF we can't field young candidates with fresh approaches to REAL conservatism, its over. America becomes a one-party state until the collapse.

Every last person in leadership at RNC, et al should resign today and make room for new leadership. That won't happen.
