Below is a transcript of a Freerepublic call to C-Span this morning. The topic was "What should be the first topic on the President's agenda?"
In light of the fact that the GOP scored BIG with hispanic voters, I believe we should continue to court minority votes in an unprecedented fashion.
For example, President Bush should load his judicial picks, cabinet members, etc., SOOOO heavy with blacks and hispanics that Bill Clinton and the Democrats will look like no-diversity-Neanderthals by comparison.
The only caveat to my recommendation: make sure Bush's minority picks are all CONSERVATIVE.
Can you imagine the possibilities when the average God fearing hispanic and black voter notice that just about everyone that Bush appoints is a...minority, but the 'rat Presidents did not do this???
Also, something like a Jeb Bush/Mel Martinez ticket seems far more appealing as part of this strategy.
Back to the freerepublic C-SPAN call: A few calls before the freep call, a black man called in to voice his opinion that C-SPAN basically discriminates against blakc people. the caller seemed really down on white people. He also seemed to believe this Presidential election was stolen.
With that background, here is the transcript of the freerepublic call:
HOST [STEVE SCULLY]: Next is a call from Clovis, California, a supporter of the President's. Good morning, welcome to the Washington Journal.
CALLER: Hey, good morning, and a beautiful week it is. You had a black gentleman who seemed a bit down on white people a little earlier.
I hope you'll give me as much time as you gave him. But, then, I'm white so you might discriminate against me.
[the HOST laughs]
No, I'm just kidding. hey, look, the GOP loves black people and hispanics. I want to thank the hispanics for voting for Bush in such large numbers.
And what that black gentleman said actually dove-tails on what I think his [Bush's] first agenda should be.
Usually, I don't believe in quotas and preferences, but if I were President Bush, man, I would load every judgeship and every high position with nothing but blacks and hispanics, and show them just how serious the republican party is to reach out for them, 'cause I think the Democrats take 'em for granted.
And, Steve, if you don't mind, I'd like to thank all the GOP people, all the folks at Freerepublic.com-- Shield, Caipirabob, Mama Bear, lara-- all these people who have done so much volunteer work to make this election happen.
We won big, and I am just--I'm in a state of euphoria, seriously. And I want that gentleman to know-- the one who called earlier, who seemed really angry-- he can come on over to our side, and we'd love to have him.
HOST: One of the callers this past week said the Constitution should be changed so Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger could run for President in 2008. How serious do you think that talk is?
CALLER: [laughs] Uh...NO. [laughs] Just...NO.
HOST: Okay.
CALLER: We don't want some Canadian or Frenchman coming over and trying to run for president.
HOST: Well, you have an Austrian running California now.
CALLER: Well, I voted for McClintock. [laughs]
HOST: Okay, thank you for the call.
