The GOP Quest for Black and Hispanic Votes

Luis, our previous caller, talked about Univision. For four years Univision did nothing but bash every potential Republican candidate. It didn't matter what they thought of Obama. The alternative was unacceptable. Now, this is why, by the way, I cringe when the Republicans and these brilliant consultants at the end of every election think that we have to become more like Democrats to win, which is essentially what they're saying. And look, I don't think I can ask this question too often. It is said now that the Republicans need to move significantly toward the direction of amnesty and relaxing our views on social issues, which means a little bit more tolerance for abortion. Maybe we don't oppose it anymore. Never mind the fact that over half the country, even in the exit polls, opposes it. It doesn't matter. It makes these Republicans and their consultants uncomfortable.

So we're gonna move toward amnesty, pathway to citizenship, and we're gonna relax what we say on abortion. Does anybody really believe the Democrats will allow that to happen? Does anybody really believe that the Democrats are gonna sit by and simply let the Republicans take large chunks of their voters? It's not going to happen. What's gonna happen is the Republican Party is gonna join forces with the Democrat Party in new policies that will result in the importation and legalization of more people who will vote Democrat. If they actually follow through on what they're talking about, that's where this is headed. But they might be okay with it, because nobody will be saying mean things about 'em. Except that's not true, either. The Democrats and the media are always going to use lies and deceit, character assassination against Republicans because in their minds it works.

"Given a choice between a fake Democrat and a real one, the public will choose the real Democrat every time." So said Harry Truman.

This should be a lesson to the party of Dewey ~ the GOP-e, to just give it up and let the Conservatives take the lead in destroying the Democrats.

I suggest the GOP allow for all green eyed, bearded, ginger, bald, long nosed people to enter the country illegally, the GOP has denied them a voice for far too long, and they demand citizenship, they are oppressed, they work hard, and they deserve to become citizens, the election proves it!

[From The Deer Stand]

It was the Republicans who pushed for the civil rights movement while Democrats fought it but, shhhh, don't tell the Blacks.

It was the Democrats who created welfare and kept Blacks as substandard citizens living dependent in rat-infested tenements for 40 years until Republicans rescued them but, shhhh, don't tell Blacks.

Martin Luther King was a Republican but, shhhh, don't tell Blacks.

Democrats keep Blacks under their entitlement programs soley to buy votes while Republicans are eager to help Blacks become self-sufficient and have better lives but, shhhh, don't tell Blacks.

It's time Blacks are told!

[muawiyah]

The first big shuffle of blacks from the Republican party to the Democrat occurred under FDR. The second big shuffle was under LBJ. He promised them ANOTHER civil rights law ~ they bought the idea and he delivered!

They then became THE Democrat party with 40% of the voting power in the areas controlled by Democrats.

They aren't blacks anymore and haven't been for several decades ~ they are DEMOCRATS!

They are declining in power with the growth of the Hispanics, but they are not out of power yet. Whatever they're going to do about this it's not going to benefit the Republican party.

[Christie at the beach]

Just get out there in all of the communities with the American traditional message, patriotic love of country and the message of limited government: more freedoms to each person. Don't promise them any thing different than the rest ..just be faithful to the constitution. if they join the party, that is great but don't cater, nor lie/mislead to them.They don't want to learn the truth, you can't make them. The media has made the GOP look like the whites guys club (and we know it's nonsense/lies such in truth) though they do need to become more modern and put younger conservatives out front, like Palin, Scott Walker, Allen West, Tea Party young guns. It will help to educate the younger groups coming up as well. Conservatism is a great message and there is no need to change it. Even though we lost, I still feel confident this is the right side of history and logic to be on.

[Blacks] then became THE Democrat party with 40% of the voting power in the areas controlled by Democrats.

And fifty years, pray tell, what has it done for them?

Do blacks ever ask themselves this question, I wonder...

[muawiyah]

Well, they got a guy from Kenya elected President ~ but he thinks he’s white

[wastoute]

After this election the GOP is gonna need new suckers...er, voters. The old ones are done.

[Cookies4ever]

Rush, Mark Levin, Glen Beck, etc. must offer their programs in Spanish!! These are our most forceful and persuasive voices! Yeah, I don’t like that people don’t learn English, but THEY DON’T...so Repubs better get with it and talk to them in the language they understand and in the media they access!! We sure can’t rely on the media or the GOP!!
Then hire SUCCESSFUL PR firms to get their message out and get air time. No more relying on failures live Rove!
GOP must hire big time PR firms NOW and organize a message for 2016 because you can bet the dems have already done so!
And also we need to dominate the web searches! GOP was awful in this election. Search on any term...cancer, diabetes, health, etc. and the first several returns are ALL pro-Obama sites. Hello GOP, this is 2012....get some web experts hired NOW

How about we reduce the current legal annual immigration numbers of 1.2 million, which is two-thirds Hispanic and 87% minorities.

[TBP]

Go talk to them in their communities and churches. advertise on their radio and TV stations. Let them know that you want them to have the same opportunity to get out of the circumstances the Democrats have consigned them to as anyone else has had. But DO NOT pander and violate your principles.

[driftless2]

We’ll never be able to outpander the Democrats. Might as well stand for something.
