Democrats want to snare some white men for the mid-terms.

White men are CRITICAL to turning back the liberal tide washing over the country.

No Democratic presidential candidate has won a majority of white men since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama all prevailed with support of the so-called rising electorate of women, especially single women, and minorities. But fewer of those voters typically participate in midterm elections, making the votes of white men more potent and the struggle of Democrats for 2014 clear.....

White male voters have been crucial in some past midterms, most clearly in 1994, when they helped Republicans take control of the House for the first time in 40 years, and again in 2010....

Even the headline is a lie. They say that white men are the most evil thing there is and that is wooing?

The whole Dem party mantra has been anti-White Male for the last 30 years.
Even the Black Male Dem vote confuses me.

What discourages Democrats is that men’s attitudes shaped over generations — through debates over civil rights, anti-Communism, Vietnam, feminism, gun control and dislocations from lost manufacturing jobs and stagnant wages in a global economy — are not easily altered.

ALL of which are Dem-instigated disasters...................

(What discourages Democrats is that men’s attitudes shaped over generations — through debates over civil rights, anti-Communism, Vietnam, feminism, gun control and dislocations from lost manufacturing jobs and stagnant wages in a global economy — are not easily altered.)

More importantly, for over a decade the Democrat party has used white males as the bogey man so that they would ingratiate themselves to non-whites and receive their vote at the accepted cost of the vote of white males. Mission accomplished. That’s what’s not easily altered.

Democrats have had a war on White males since 1964. that won’t be fixed in the next 10 months.

Democrats HATE White men and everyone knows it.

From an article back in 2012:

"If only white people had voted on Tuesday, Mitt Romney would have carried every state except for Massachusetts, Iowa, Connecticut and New Hampshire, according to the news media’s exit polls. Nationally, Romney won 59 percent of the white vote, a towering twenty-point margin over Obama. "

And for White Men the support for Romney was 62%.

The minorities in this country get to pick our Presidents. The Dem strategy of reducing the population of White people and increasing 3rd world immigration looks to me like it has been successful and will be very hard to reverse.

We started out as a country with strong principles and a basically European culture. That is disappearing fast.

And I mean no disrespect for those minorities. Based on my own personal experience I believe that many if not most are hard working people. But, unfortunately, they believe that by voting Dem they are acting in their own best interest. They aren't. And I really don't know what to do about that.

After excoriating white males as the sum total of all that is evil in the world, they cannot now ask for their vote and pretend that all is forgiven...................

The strongest bulwark against liberal think and voting is MARRIED, WHITE CHRISTIANS. They are the "enemy" and why the Left attacks whites, traditional marriage and Christians.

"............In 2008, Emory University political scientist Alan Abramowitz put together multiple variables to define the Republican Party’s base, which most observers agree has been shrinking along with various social and demographic changes. According to Abramowitz, the GOP’s most loyal supporters — statistically — are not white people, nor married people, nor those who identify as Christians. Rather, it’s married white people who also identify as Christians.

Just 30 or 40 years ago, this demographic dominated American elections, but split its vote more evenly between the parties. Since then, married white Christians have become far more reliably Republican, but also fewer in number. “Married white Christians now make up less than half of all voters in the United States and less than one-fifth of voters under the age of 30,” wrote Abramowitz.

>>> The declining proportion of married white Christians in the electorate has important political implications because in recent years married white Christians have been among the most loyal supporters of the Republican Party. In American politics today, whether you are a married white Christian is a much stronger predictor of your political preferences than your gender or your class — the two demographic characteristics that dominate much of the debate on contemporary American politics.<<<

This is something to keep in mind when people talk about the “white vote.”

Yes, you nailed it.

Try as they may, the Dems will be unable to turn off all the spigots of the hate-spewers of color who speak for their party.

The Democrat policies of unfettered immigration of Latinos may very well backfire on them. Latinos do not have a built-in self-defeatist attitude, nor do they have a persecution complex developed over centuries. Their staunchly Catholic upbringing may very well be the very thing that ultimately destroys the Dem Party..................

"A big reason for Democrats’ emphasis on raising the minimum wage is the polling proof that the issue resonates with all groups, including white men."

It's irrelevant if raising the minimum wage resonates with white men. They know that it is a social engineering/social justice issue aimed at minorities.

Unfortunately, Catholics vote Democrat in far greater numbers.

American-Raised Catholics, yes. But these are not American-raised Catholics. Many come from places where they have seen the fruits of socialism and they came here to get away from it.................

Wooing me is really not that hard. I’m easy. (Insert joke here)

Respect the Constitution. Respect individual rights. Respect private property. Leave me alone.

Won’t do that? Oh well. It’s not my problem.
