The American people want a ONE PARTY SYSTEM. Now see how happy they are with it ten years from now!
The dems are going to screw up so bad in the next two years I can see the Rep.taking back the house and senate.
Obama will open the borders to illegals, then fund ACORN (after halting the Justice Departments investigation into voter fraud) to get them registered, double registered and triple registered to vote. The MSM will turn a blind eye and American democracy will become an empty ritual like a third world dictatorship.
So, there’s no hope for the GOP?
The author assumes that the GOP will never win enough minorities to compete in upcoming elections?
Young voters, minorities, women, all favoring Dems? And the trend is locked in and completely irreversible?
Why should any conservatives even care then?
Our destiny is already set apparently.
The ‘RATS will guarantee that this becomes a one party country when they give 30 million illegal aliens amnesty after Baracko and his ‘RATS take total power on 01-20-09. The American “experiment” is over. We are just another third world banana republic now with phonyass “elections.”
I hope Obama does this too. The more campaigning he does for 2012, the less of a chance he has of getting his socialist policies turned into law. Besides, I like the fact that gov't money can go toward a sitting president's campaign...
Strange that so many of the Western democracies are moving to the right while the U.S. is moving to the left.
Given all the tactical negatives (and how severe they were,) it’s actually quite encouraging that the outcome wasn’t much worse (for Republicans.)
What good is a democratic majority or any majority for that matter in a federal government that is bankrupt?
We better start focusing on our local and state governments... thats where the real power shift is going to occur.
This is the money passage. Republicans again won the white vote, as we have done since 1964. Obama won topheavy majorities among minority groups. Democrats look forward to the US becoming majority minority and believe this is a ticket to long-term dominance. If Republicans don't make inroads into the black and hispanic middle class, that will be true.
The tricky part is this. Democrats play the race card every chance they get. Their goal is to capitalize on identity politics, but this comes at the cost to the nation of inflaming and perpetuating racial animosity organized around largely trumped up grievances. Nasty stuff. It could ultimately be the ruination of the country, but the democrats don't really care about that, as long as they win.
Against this, Republicans have to appeal to solid, legitimate interests. School choice is one. The right to life is another. Small business formation is a third. Low taxes should become a salient issue for minority voters as more of them move up the income ladder. I don't for a moment concede any permanent dem lock on minority constituencies, but Republicans are going to have to work at it.
But given GWB is gone in 2009, how do we turn this around? I say we talk about how deficit is killing economy. When they reply with Bush, say , “Why are you continuing his policies. Tell them the endless borrowing cant continue. Look attack on all positions, call them hypocrites on some positions, call them socialists on others,call them defenders of rich, like democrats did to hapless Bush for 8 years,
Do you really think it will take that long? (I don’t.)
Haa! Your crystal ball is not working right!
Who's going to vote the rascals out? The Latinos? The Jewish? The young college age voters? The University "intelligentsia"? The "African-"Americans""? The ACORN voters? Get real!
Look what happened now that the DemonRATS have gotten entrenched in OHIO.
To put in another way="These ain't your daddies type DemonCRAPS. They are In like flint, and they are not going anywhere soon. It's a whole new ballgame.
Immigrants account for one in eight U.S. residents, the highest level in 80 years. In 1970 it was one in 21; in 1980 it was one in 16; and in 1990 it was one in 13. In a decade it will be one in 7, the highest in our history and by 2050, it will be one in 5. 87% of the 1.2 million LEGAL immigrants who enter this country annually are minorities.
Minorities and immigrants vote overwhelmingly Dem. Demography is destiny.
For example, according to US Census Data, for North Carolina: In 1990 the population of the state was 6,628,637 with blacks comprising 1,456,323 of the population and Hisanics of all races amounting to 76,726.
Census data for 2006 show a population of 8,856,505 with blacks comprising 1,892,469 of the population and Hispanics of all races amounting to 597,382. Basically, of the 2.2 million increase in population from 1990 to 2006, about 1 million came from blacks and Hispanics, which now make up about 28% of the population.
I am old enough to have heard this BS before.
We don’t know what the future holds. As conservatives, we need to shape the future, instead of becoming passive whiners like the libbies.
...”the first black president”...
To the MSM: one last time - Barack Obama is not “black”, he is just as “white” as he is “black”, 50-50, a mulatto as the term was once used.
Young voters get older and pay taxes-perhaps many of them will become conservative as time passes.
The pundits have no problem saying the Republican party is
too white.I would love to hear one say the Democratic party
is too black,brown,gay,Jewish.Never wiil happen!!
