Look at what has happened to California. In a way, that is where ALL of America is going demographically....and if conservatives don’t market their point of view to that changing audience of voters it will be doomed.
I suggest all the wrist slitters here on FR wake up and smell the coffee. We have a good case—one that provides better answers than the Democrats—but it needs to be presented in a more appealing way."
Wrist-slitters? Are they anything like purists?
Ideally, the way to reap more of the Hispanic vote would be uncompromising explanation of conservative principles. But in reality, the Hispanic population is interested not in principles, but in freebies, government benefits. You seem to be in denial about that.
In essence you're saying that the only thing left is to trash our principles and become Democrats ourselves. To win elections, we have to reward lawbreakers and welcome them as citizens, even though the resulting demographics will be the death of the country and a permanent Democrat majority. If you want to assist in that kind of thing, be my guest, but I won't. And I'm not slitting my wrists over it. God's in control....let it go where He wills.
You might want to think about where we'll end up on that slippery slope you're advocating, though. What happens when the GOP decides we need to "reach out" to the female vote by embracing abortion? I've already seen a couple of voices here at FR saying we need to shut up about abortion because we'll never win elections otherwise. The memo's been written up, but the GOP isn't sure how to implement it yet. Will you go along with that, too?
What happens when it's decided we need to reach out to sodomites? Most Republicans are already so petrified of queers that they absolutely refuse to mention the subject. Do you think it'll be long before the Republican party as a whole embraces sodomite marriage?
If that's what it takes to win elections, count me out.
You totally misunderstand and misrepresent my point of view.
You’ve offered nothing but disdain for an entire race of people, and seem to offer no real hope.
That is what I mean by wrist slitters.
