Well, when the prevailing attitude is
Don’t worry about spending money on the Blacks, they won’t vote for us anyway...after all they are only 10% of the population.
Don’t worry about spending money on the Hispanics, they won’t vote for us anyway...after all they are only 10% of the population.
Don’t worry about spending money on the Asians, they won’t vote for us anyway...after all they are only 10% of the population.
Don’t worry about spending money on the Gays, they won’t vote for us anyway...after all they are only 10% of the population.
Don’t worry about spending money on the Poor White Trash, they won’t vote for us anyway...after all they are only 10% of the populations...
ETC ETC ETC....
Add that to the CORE that would vote for a complete schmuck such as BO, Gore, Kerry and you are sitting on the sidelines.
Don’t worry about standing on principle, who needs two parties anyway?
Too many Blacks, Latinos, Asians and Jews that I know believe that the Republican party is for White folks only. I used not to believe that they were correct but based of the comments I often see here, I'm starting to see their point. Unfortunately, if they disagree with the social and/or economic policies and fit the mold of a conservative, they are told we don't want or accept you. Then why would they want to join us? I believe a sizable amount of these folks are Democrats by default, not by choice.
I've seen a lot of good conservatives posters ask, how do we win over more “Blacks”, “Latinos”, “Jews” and “Asians? Some folks believe that we need better outreach and education (not in the school sense) to dispel the myths of of conservatism but too many on this board often reply “deport them all”, they'll never vote for us because all of them only want “free stuff” or if they aren't “wise” enough to just vote for us, then we don't need them.
That will teach those groups that we want them to join us! </sarcasm>
AMEN!!! Regardless of the reasons “Why”...we need to figure out “How” to bring them in the fold! I’m a Conservative Hispanic who’s NOT looking for a freebie from Govt but I, and a lot of others like, are starting to get sick of the comments assuming we’re all the same and that we want “Free” things...I want govt off my back just like most of you! To expand my business, to hire people, etc... Instead of complaining about why most minorities groups are not voting conservatives you too need to look in the mirror and realize ( whether justified or not) that the perception is growing, by the day, that conservatives (and GOP) are racist! You need take this challenge head on and have rallies, marches, events, ethnic festivals, etc...in the heart of the liberal strongholds (big cities, blue states) and challenge these socialist in THEIR TURF! This is now trench warfare (of ideas) and you’ve allowed these leftist enter and convert places like Florida, VA, OH, IA, CO, etc....WAKE UP Conservstives! WAKE UP...
