Republicans won’t win if they insist on being the National White People’s Party

As Barack Obama took the state in Grant Park, where 125,000 people had gathered to witness history being made, the TV camera panned over the massive crowd. It looked like America, which nowadays is fast-becoming a nation of minorities. This is the emerging America, and Obama is the first president of this new America.
Meanwhile, the Republican Party succeeded in driving nearly all nonwhites into the Democratic coalition. The GOP now bears close resemblence to the old National Party of the apartheid-era South Africa. Black voters voted Democratic 96 to 4 percent. Latinos voted Democratic two-to-one.
The Republicans are fast on their way to becoming a permanent minority for the simple reason that there soon won’t be enough white folks to make up a majority. But it’s amazing to me that the Republicans do not seem to realize this. They not only don’t have minorities in their party, they do not seem to want them.

If Palin drove votes away why after the convention and mostly because of her rousing speech and solid conservative values did McCain pull 4-6 pts ahead.Rather than Rove style politics by the way which won two elections exiting the GOP I think what needs to go is the politics that we want democrats as our best friends style politics because believe thats not how democrats see it. For eight years they did everything short of hanging George Bush on a tree.He tried the bi-partisan, cross the isle nonsense. Now Barack Obama wants Bi-Partisanship, maybe he should first discuss that with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and Charles Shumer and Barney Frank. Democrats want you as there best friends as long as you see things their way, you know when you cross the isle to there side. McCain he crossed the isleHe was there buddy, look where it got him. When McCain was himself, thumbing his nose at the conservatives he was getting whipped, the,only thing that got him the GOP nomination was Romney and Huckabee splitting the true conservative vote. The only thing that got him close at the end was a hard right turn, not the maverick, bi-partisan BS! I wish the RRS would get a true local conservative to write for them, that would be a good start to the fairness doctrine locally.Have a good bi-partisan day it will probably get you a lunch date with one of the local liberals who want to bury you!!!

“They not only don’t have minorities in their party, they do not seem to want them.”
This is by far probably the dumbest thing you’ve ever said.
Ever heard of Elaine Chao? Condoleezza Rice? Clarence Thomas?
Please check out the following websites before making these stupid allegations again.

Change is what the people voted for but how many really know what that change will be? This is not a white versus black issue but rather an issue of how we as people will be managed. With Obama’s tilt to the far left, will we see a more socialistic agenda emerge? How long will it be before you won’t get to see you own physician? How long will it be before you 401-K will just be part of you social security? How long will it be before business taxation will cause an even greater exodus off shore and take more factory jobs with it? How long will it be before our freedom to worship will be challenged? How long will it be before the airwaves will be silenced in lieu of generic jiberish? Well now the Democratic Party has its chance to shine. With control of congress and a President in the White House, let us see what this change will be and where it takes us. My only question is what will MSNBC do when they can’t point their fingers at the Republican Party anymore?
