Republicans: An old, white, dying breed of voter?
Wash Times ^

Posted on 11/25/2012 9:55:22 AM PST by Altura Ct.

The Republicans are old white men, red necks and racists. They're in thrall to tea-baggers, who do not understand or give a darn about minorities.

If only other Republicans knew how often I had this hateful brew (hatred of white male conservatives is still socially acceptable on the left) shoved down my throat. But what's been directed at me personally is worse: I have been called a sell-out, hater of a brother (meaning Obama), and numerous choice words I can't share here (hatred of conservative black women from the left is trickier, but even more heart-felt).

...It is time to lay down the tracks of a new "underground railroad," a movement to help a people who are in bondage to the Democratic Party find hope and encouragement in the GOP, a movement that will wake up complacent Democrats and Republicans alike, a movement that will stop the hemorrhaging of the GOP. We will not be televised - the mainstream media can't imagine that we exist and we remain invisible to them - but we will be webvised, we will be heard online through bloggers, videos, e-mails and text messages, twitters, Facebook and more. We can no longer be shut out. We are the voice of the 21st century and we will be heard. If the RNC continues to think of blacks and Latinos as an afterthought, the GOP will continue its genteel decline and forfeit any chance of victory in 2016.

...Mitt Romney was doomed to fail when the Republican party failed to develop a clear and coherent agenda to appeal to blacks, Latinos, and other non-white people.

The republicans are more interested in courting the globalists than the conservatives. They are really left centrists instead of the far left demoRats.

Cutting edge. Force every government action to be defended on Constitutional ground. Freedom is just another way of saying nothing left to lose.

Blacks pig out, face first, in the racial spoil system trough. The only possible message Republicans can attract blacks with is “See, we told you we’d run out of food.”

Aren’t you special! You won’t ever vote Republican again? You didn’t get your way, so you’ll show us? Have a nice life.

Just a clash of cultures, but this truth remains: Do little, stay poor; do much, get rich.

Hmmmmm ..?? VP Biden, Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Patrick Leahy .. somehow I believe these are OLD WHITE MEN who are all DEMOCRATS!!!!

We must never forget .. the dems/libs always use a method called “projection” to spew all over the repubs.

But .. their habit always seems to backfire on them because the projectionists have one common theme: They blame the repubs for doing things or having done things - that actually THE DEMS ARE NOW DOING OR HAVE DONE IN THE PAST.

Thus, when they complain about the repubs being old white men, they conveniently forget to look at their own ranks. The only minorities that are dems .. are those that have bought into the hype - repubs don’t like minorities.

Geeeeeeeeeeee ... what does that say about the dems .. it says the dems don’t really like minorities .. they just USE them to make themselves look better.

I can relate to a lot of what she’s saying. I believe in the Constitution (all of it), limited government, the free market, rule of law, traditional values, strong defense, etc., but as a black urban dweller, there isn’t a whole lot about the GOP that I can really hang my hat on. They’re not even on the playing field anywhere around me. I live in a one-party state really, and I am just a lone voice of dissent shouting in the wilderness. Hard to convert very many people that way.

Utter bull$hit.

Any article claiming republicans have been anti-immigrant as opposed to anti-illegal is just buying into the democrat lie.

As for rejecting black conservatives, Allen West, Herman Cain, and previously Allen Keys were rejected by the establishment rinos, not by the conservatives.

Calling into black radio stations? (were they still believe AIDS was created by the CIA to kill blacks) Thats the big plan?

I agree on the churches- but when Romney refused to bring up Obamas support for abortion and homosexual marriage, what else exactly is the black church going to agree with you about that takes them away from dems?

They said the same thing after POS FDR’s reelection in 1936. In fact, the issues working against FDR in 1936 were not unlike those working against der Fuehrer in 2012. The National Socialist Democrat Party would like to believe that as they believed it then but they are always proven wrong.

Conservatives need to start an underground railroad OUT of the GOP and into a new party of their own. The GOP only demands our votes, and then expects Conservatives to sit down, shut up and do as they are told when they adopt the agenda of the MarxoFascist Left.

What the country needs - is a clear line of demarcation between Americans and the Leftists. That cannot be done within the GOP, the Establishment has made that clear, and rigged it’s party to ensure Conservatives will forever remain irrelevant in national politics as far as they are concerned.

The GOP is not an opposition party to the Left - it is a cooperative with the Left. The GOP serves as a vehicle of treason to ideals of Conservatives and to destroy them from within the party they assumed represented their ideology.

All intrusive and powerful government is the goal of both national parties now. They cooperate and work together. The only differences between them now, is one is full-blown Marxist and the other wants control of the scraps and a finger in the money pit to continue the Establishment oligarchy in power.

It’s time to target young men of all colors. Tell them about the fraud and abuse of power going on - anger them, enrage them!

Then tell them 10-steps to take control from the elites.

Young women will follow the young men.

“Republicans won’t get my vote ever again.”

Me either because I don’t vote for neo=marxist liberal-progressive democratic socialist statists and their radical islamist friends in the Democrat and republican parties. They are two peas in a pod.
