Gallup: Tea Party support drops (slightly) yet still greater than Those who admit being Liberal.

[RGinWA 816]

Unfortunately for the GOP, they've treated women and minorities so poorly in the past, it's gonna be hard to get them back on their side.

Well, they still have voter suppression. If they can't be appealing, cheat.

They're not interested in getting them to their side. They're interested in keeping them away from the polls.

Got any examples of that?

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Got any examples of that?

Any examples of what?

They are an exclusive party. If you aren't a white man, you are not their targeted base.

Their most obnoxious members go out of their way to say offensive, harmful things about women and women's rights.

Minorities feel that Republicans won't help them, especially if they aren't doing well financially. Their stance on immigration in the past has also hurt them.

Look at how women and minorities tend to vote. That should tell you all you need to know.

[Danno 1,228]

Yet we've elected a Muslim Liberal Democrat from Kenya as our President.........................twice!

Something's awry Danno.

Right you are, but the cost of buying those votes were not cheap.

Lets no ramble and lets stick to your claim which was-

Unfortunately for the GOP, they've treated women and minorities so poorly in the past

I asked for specifics on how the Party treated women and minories poorly.

We do know the first civil rights bill was passed by republican and a republican president (Ike)

We do know that the Civil rights acts in the 60's were also a high priority on the GOP agenda.

We do know it was the GOP who brought this nation to war in part, over the question of Slavery spreading.

We do know the GOP has fought against policies which have devastated the Black family so harshly.

We do know the GOP has tried to rescue black women from the clutches of Gov't poverty,

so much so that, The average net wealth of Black women is now down to $5.

Sure in a country of over 300 million people you can find ill-spoken or racist comments by persons of any party, but you accused the GOP, of

purposely trying to harm or oppress americans, I rarely go so far when accusing Libs (when I am serious).

As the misery they so often bring is wrapped in good intentions.

Now be specific, you must have more than a feeling to go on?

I gave you specifics. The GOP's inability to speak properly about women's reproductive rights has a negative impact on the women they want to vote for them.

Do you not believe me that women and minorities tend to vote Democrat? Why do YOU think that is? There are studies and reports that try to figure it out, and they generally say the same thing I'm telling you: the issues that matter to them have been handled poorly by the GOP.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/07/gender-gap-2012-election-obama_n_2086004.html

According to CNN's exit polls, 55 percent of women voted for Obama, while only 44 percent voted for Mitt Romney. Men preferred Romney by a margin of 52 to 45 percent, and women made up about 54 percent of the electorate. In total, the gender gap on Tuesday added up to 18 percent -- a significantly wider margin than the 12-point gender gap in the 2008 election.

Romney seemed to struggle to connect with women as a result of the GOP's escalating efforts to limit women's reproductive rights and a series of controversial comments from Republicans about rape, birth control and abortion. Romney, in particular, alienated many female voters by dodging questions about equal pay legislation, pledging to defund Planned Parenthood and overturn Roe v. Wade, and backing legislation that would allow employers to deny women birth control coverage.

http://edition.cnn.com/2012/11/08/politics/women-election/index.html

Verbal gaffes from down-ballot candidates such as Rep. Todd Akin, whose comments about a woman's body preventing pregnancy after "legitimate rape" may have cost him the election, also reinforced for some voters concerns that the GOP is out of touch with women.

Minorities, youth and women won the election for Obama. Unless the GOP does something to get those voters back, they are going to lose again.

but you accused the GOP, of purposely trying to harm or oppress americans

Where did I make that accusation?

[decocker 7,198]

We do know the GOP has tried to rescue black women from the clutches of Gov't poverty,

rescue.. what, like mercy killings?

[Danno 1,228]

Lets not get tangled up in the grisly aspects of abortion here please.

let's not jump subject matter either, danno.

That the Green party or the Libertarian party, also fail to get the votes of women and minorities does not mean they treat them poorly.

You have established that the GOP fails to attract two segments of voters, you have failed as proving that- "they've treated women and minorities so poorly in the past"

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

While that particular point is indeed rather mysterious, I think Danno is talking largely about the GOP prior to the Southern Strategy making it what it is today.

Sure, I pointed out that Black women have been more loyal to the Democrats than any other demographic

Such loyalty can only be found in N. Korea and after 5 decades, the average net wealth of Black women is 5 friggin bucks man!

What do they have to show for it but poverty?

So black women are poor because they support Democrats.

Wow, that is one of the stupidest things any breathing organism able to speak has ever said.

Congratulations, Danno. You did it!
