Chris Ladd is nothing but a 5th columnist, JUDAS who calls himself a member of the GOP. Please send this traitor an email an tell him how you feel:
A party already exists for the Working Class, they are called the Communists. GOP used to represent the Producer class, but have not been doing a good job of it.
Do you listen to his radio show on AM 560? It’s great!
I’d make that trade, I’d even take Hilly back in exchange for Obama (can’t get further South than Hawaii ;) ).
Ladd should ask if democrats can survive as a party that is increasingly hostile to White people. I see racist comments on news articles from democrats all the time.
Who writes this crap?
he is NOT a Republican
the media only hires leftists, some pretend to be Republican but they always take the Democrat side
I guess there aren't any government regulations forcing banks to give mortgages to people who can't repay it? Remember the "redlining" allegations?
This guy is an asshat.
So who represents whites? Or are they the only group that gets no representation?
Meanwhile, the GOP adopts a monumentally stupid strategy of trying to outdo the Democrats in pandering to minorities. As a result, it manages to win over a statistically negligible number of minorities (why vote for a cheap imitation of the Democrats when they can get the real thing) while alienating its white Middle Class constituency, who actually want to see immigration laws enforced and reverse-discrimination policies like affirmative action terminated.
So the net result is that the alienated white middle class voters stay home because the GOP offers them nothing, while the Democrats win election after election.
The GOP didn't earn the name "stupid party" for nothing.
I can think of few things that have sickened me more about the GOP in recent times than their shameless pandering to Hispanics and their embrace of liberal multiculturalism. Somehow spewing multiculturalist and political correctness bromides is even more hypocritical and repulsive when it’s done by Republicans, perhaps because it’s even more a transparent sign of desperation.
Personality is part of presentation. It doesn’t mean they should be “fake”, but Reagan had a great personality, HW Bush did not. George W had a great personality...Dole, McCain and Romney do not.
Not scientific of course, but you have to be able to put principle into a presentation to some degree.
It doesn’t have to be a personality we like. Clinton had a personality, Kerry does not. Obama has a kind of personality that the media pushes. Dukakis, Mondale....there is a pattern there.
Here’s the thing. If the Republican party is not supporting my views on the issues, why should I support them with my vote, money, or time?
Maybe they will lose when they stand for the right. But how is this worse than they win, and place the programs of the left in place themselves?

The Republican Party is a tool, not an end.
Since 1988, the Republicans have been riding on brand name and party loyalty rather than ideas and principles. They counted on people voting for liberal politicians and policies because there was an "R" rather than a "D" next to their names on the ballot.
People are finally not playing the game of "as long as we get a Republican, we win, no matter what his policies." Why did it take the presidencies/candidacies of Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain, and Romney for ideas to start to trump party?
Hey Chris, did you forget that the White Nationalists elected Ted Cruz over a couple of white guys?
Because in every case the D was so much worse, and, at least, the R was saying the right things. Bush was still better than Gore. I’m not sure that I can say the same about McCain.
In any event, I will probably have to pull the trigger for whatever RINO the Rs nominate, because, again, the D will be so much worse. But I will do my best to make sure a RINO does not get the nomination.
I certainly understand those that would rather sit at home. I may finally, maybe this next time, do it myself. It’s a moral dilemma, and a hard conundrum, and I only hope that every body considers the consequences of each decision, whatever they decide.
May God be with us all.
A case in point: it took Obama pushing amnesty for illegals to get a lot of Republicans worked up. When Bush was pushing more or less the same, they approved, were silent, or grumbled in such muted tones that you never would have noticed.
Furthermore, voting for liberal Republicans as the "lesser evil" sends the wrong message to the GOP - it tells them that they can go as far left as they like and they'll still get our votes. It may take a few more losses to teach them otherwise.
I did vote for Romney in the last general election simply because Obama was so bad. If it were Romney against a somewhat less far-left Democrat (say, Bill Clinton), I probably would have stayed home or done a third party protest vote.
