Republicans - a dying brand

[Danno 1,228]

Danno, the demographic trend exists regardless of what the GOP decides to do. There will be more hispanic voters in 2014 than there were in 2012 and yet more in 2016 than there will be in 2014 and so on and so forth. That train has long left the station and you ain't going to stop it.

It's nice ti hear you have the confidence now to speak plain, for sooo long you claimed it was "White paranoia".

Sure the immigration of more than a million a year coupled with the uneven birth rates does keep this country on the path you mentioned but...

Why should the GOP hasten their demise but granting citizenship and voting rights to more than ten million more people ....who never even came here legally?

To "reach-out" on immigration might win a few percentage points in the near election but clearly it is more of the short sightedness which put the GOP in the position they are now in.

Why rush to a early death?

I've responded numerous times. You don't get it. That's fine.

I've mentioned that it's an attitude that needs to be changed. But you will not be satisfied until I come up with an entire program.

Attitude? The Repubs need to change their "attitude"? Please explain this. Maybe they should wear less grey suits and more colorful outfits decorated with bright shiny objects?

She's been asked that question more than a few times by a few posters on here for the fact she continues to spam the same drivel over and over. Now I can spam pics of race cars and hot chicks in this forum all day long seven days a week, or I can do it in OT.

She gave an excellent answer several times now. Certain people are either unable or unwilling to listen. Perhaps another problem that applies in general to the Republican party.

So here's a question for you. If you've shown that you don't want to change, and you don't want to listen, what kind of answers do you actually expect to get?

Sure.

Answers don't count if they aren't the ones that they want to hear or if they don't fit their version of reality.

If you want to win votes that are currently being won by the Democratic Party, you need to co-opt just enough elements of their platform to win enough minority votes to get to 50.

Romney only lost the popular vote by 3-4%. It's not that hard.

Communicate in a disciplined manner. That means stop saying things like legitimate rape. It means stop implying that welfare is a handout for black people. Respect the people you court. You can't date rape minorities into sleeping with you at the ballot box.

I'm sorry, what do these insults have to do with the discussion at hand? Nothing? Excellent. Reported.

If you can't keep from getting your feelings hurt or your sensibilities offended every day.... why not drift over to a more gentle part of this website?

My feelings aren't hurt. I think insults should be reported. Especially if people are going to report for mentioning a certain signature.

I appreciate the condescending "you can't handle this part of the forum" attitude though. It's very sweet.

Now we are getting somewhere. TNX.

I suspect Hispanic media is sold out to the LEft (AS media leans that way by nature).

Hispanics are actually conservative in many ways but since people tend to live segregated lives, they don't connect with white conservatives and get most impressions from media.

I doubt the Black-vote will ever be got by the right, to chase this dream is a waste of funds and effort.... no need to antagonize or offend black america but as part of a concerted effort, I suspect chasing the Black-vote would yield very little dividends.

What we have is a selling of Coke and Pepsi, (Dem& GOP) one of these companies not only advertises their product they are also much more superior at portraying their competition as bad....

and the other just goes on trying to win on ideas ... often -out of touch ideas (such as no tax cuts for rich folks).

These elections on the whole are not about ideas but about marketing.

Not only does THe Gop does not know how to market they can't even come up with a sales-guy.

Consider the #######, direct insults and abuse I take here (Clearly against the TOS)

I have pulled the trigger only a few times, maybe once a year.

Not sure what you are referring to about signature-reporting... I'm the one who seems to bring the Lib. cry babies out the most.

Correct. It is counter productive.

I'm census-designated as "Asian-American". Lineage is from India. We're brown. Light brown to dark brown. And I will tell you this, among Indian-Americans born here (like myself), we're all very sensitive to white people who use the N word or are disparaging to black people. Not because we're black but because we know that white people who talk smack about black people in front of us are talking smack about us in front of them. It's a learned behavior and when we see white politicians flame the fans of racial resentment against black people with all the baiting and trolling over welfare and all the feigned concern over a contrived birth certificate controversy... we know what's what. One reason you guys did so poorly with the Asian-American vote this year. Not that it matters, we mostly live in blue states anyway...

You can pursue your policies as they are. Nothing wrong with being pro-life. But show some goddamn respect.

And Bobby Jindal?

If you have a point to make, make it. Coy isn't your style, don't start now.

I don't care how often you report anything. Doesn't matter to me at all.

Probably a good thing seeing your gun isn't loaded.
