The Republican National Committee will formally endorse immigration reform on Monday and outline plans for a $10 million outreach to minority groups — gay voters among them — as part of a multi-step roadmap designed to make the GOP more "welcoming and inclusive" for voters who overwhelmingly supported Democrats in 2012.

Those of us who have already left welcome you.
I am so outta there.
Welcome aboard the USS TEA Party. Let the crooked, decrepit GOP-E sink into the abyss.
Yeah..I’ve been gone for awhile...I used to hold out hope for reform....now I know for certain that is a waste.
The only way forward is to convince Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Palin, Mike Lee, and maybe one or two others to form the nucleus for an en masse party realignment. I think if they all left at once and joined another party, they could really help to get things established. Its the only way that I can see in the short term.
Its clear there is no hope for reform in the GOP. The cancer has overtaken the patient.
If we want ethnic minority voters to support Republicans, we have to engage them, and show our sincerity.
Translation: Play identity politics and promise to provide even more government benefits than the Dems.
2. As stated above, we are not a policy committee, but among the steps Republicans take in the Hispanic community and beyond we must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform. If we do not, our Party’s appeal will continue to shrink to its core constituencies only. We also believe that comprehensive immigration reform is consistent with Republican economic policies that promote job growth and opportunity for all.
Translation: Accept and champion amnesty. Who cares if it takes jobs from Americans, depresses wages, and adds to the Dem voting rolls so they can be the permanent majority party.
3. When it comes to social issues, the Party must in fact and deed be inclusive and welcoming. If we are not, we will limit our ability to attract young people and others, including many women, who agree with us on some but not all issues.
Translation: Accept gay marriage and pro-choice.
Third Party time.......Tea, anybody?...........
No, it will probably finish the GOPe off.
The GOP is about to become what it wants to be. Completely irrelevant to any form of conservative thought, social or otherwise.
And it will STILL lose national elections.
The GOP is interested in continuing to be funded by businesses who like to hire illegals—and leave taxpayers stuck with the direct government subsidies that we end up paying to the majority of such low-skill, immigrant workers.
That is, businesses pay the GOP to assure that we are paying part of their laborers’ compensation for living and working here.
The GOP embraces amnesty and homo marriage, and it will be officially no better than the degenerate Dems. Voted GOP my entire life, but this will be the point I’ll actively divorce myself from it, regard it an enemy, and do everything I can to work for its destruction.
But IF the republicans do this, they're done. A newer, stronger TEA party will arise by surprise, and neither the democrats or republicans will know what hit them.
The homo thing is a biggie. There is no such thing as tolerance for the behavior. They are very few in number (but more kids in the public schools are being indoctrinated by the day), and it's all being forced upon us in exchange for big political donations. It's far from national reality. People have been threatened by PC into silence, but no one can control what the people are actually thinking.
When it comes to illegals, we have an unemployment rate of almost 8%. Adding new citizens at a time like this is not going to go ever well for the unemployed. Americans can't even support their own families, let alone millions more who will end up on the dole. Immigration at this time is nothing short of anti-citizen legislation. It throws the American families under the bus in exchange for a foreign vote.
If the republicans actually do this - even though neither issue is worth bringing up at all (these are left wing issues) - they've dug their own political graves. Ignore the homos, they don't deserve recognition. Seal the boarders, and the other problems can be solved later.
I won't vote for them, like millions of other disgusted Americans, and their loss will not be because of us. It'll be because they went way too far to the left - again.
We, the former Republicans know that a party, like a man that does not believe in anything will try to become everything. Never has worked and never will.
Proud registered independent. My allegiance is to me and mine.
The only reform we need is a big fence and enforcement of the law.
Here is the report. In my post #7 I included actual quotes from the report. This is substance and it doesn't need AP spin.
Wow, they will 'connect' with these illegals as soon as they get their voting cards so they vote GOP.
I am sure the Ryan/Paul budget plans to cut poverty (ie anti-) programs will go over well with these new Hispanic voters getting GOP amnesty.
HBO starts playing a new documentary today to tear-jerk some stories and interviews of poor American families whose jobs disappeared. The families carefully selected (all white) w young cute looking kids given tear-jerker lines like this :
“I would give up some of the food I get at school so my mommy would have something to eat at night”
yep, I am sure that ‘outreach’ to illegals will be a big success. And heck, we need more poor unskilled labor.
Didnt the House GOP just vote down increasing the minimum wage? Think those fools at the RNC thought to poll that issue with these groups as well as the Ryan and Paul budget resolutions?
If the AP is telling the truth and not just spreading propaganda to anger, or divide and conquer, then you're right.
The problem is we Americans can no longer trust the press. They have a lower favorability than politicians. We'll have to wait and see what's actually said by our candidates before the elections. That will tell us whether or not we really have to dig our bunkers a little deeper, or whether the Pravda media is in full fledged attack mode.
This may be a trick to get the right leaning uninformed voter (independants) to believe it's real. They see the nasty headline "republicans support illegals and queers" , and decide not to vote at all.
Never trust what you read form the left wing press. It's best to watch and report things on your own. A "Wait and see" attitude is much safer.
To hell with the leadership. This whole issue is about votes. They don’t want to fall any further back than they are. Well they can capture a few % of the vote with this but they lost mine.
We’ve been years behind Europe for the past several years. When they question social programs we expand ours. When parties are gaining strength there looking to slow down or maybe even reverse the destruction of their values we’re going to look to hasten ours.
Let the politicians left and right do this. They’ll not get my vote again.
