WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican Party's road map for winning presidential elections looks hazier than ever as GOP lawmakers and others reject what many considered obvious lessons from Mitt Romney's loss last year.
House Republicans are rebelling against the key recommendation of a party-sanctioned post-mortem: embrace "comprehensive immigration reform" or suffer crippling losses among Hispanic voters in 2016 and beyond.
Widespread rejection of warnings from establishment Republicans goes beyond that, however. Many activists say the party simply needs to articulate its conservative principles more skillfully, without modifying any policies, even after losing the popular vote in five of the past six presidential elections.

Those numbers will change dramatically. Wait'll the Repubs start focus-grouping----the political dynamic will change overnight.
The stench from the Ohaha screw-ups has no end:
<><> there's the Benghazi stench
<><> Hillary's state dept's coverup of sex scandals---obstructing justice---scrubbing investigations
<><> Eric "Stinkeroo" Holder's doj stenches (ap--rosen PLUS holder suggesting USSC and Congress' Verizon blackberries were monitored)
<><> stencharama: IRS tea party targeting (IRS haters are legion)
<><> IRS stealing thousands of medical records
<><> HHS' Sibelius fund-raising Obamacare providers
<><> NSA snooping--infuriating millions of young twitter/facebook users
<><> IRS sending 32,000 EITC refunds to illegals at ONE address.
The GOP Establishment is comprised of moderate socialists to down right liberal leftists. Until the Party gets rid of these DC blue blood anti-Conservatives, the GOP is dead.
However, the GOP won’t win with a throwing sh!t alone campaign. That won’t sastisfy 24,000,000 people looking for work.
Bump.
BRING BACK AMERICAN JOBS.
Yep, they are professional Ivy League Alinskyites, well indoctrinated, entrenched and motivated. The Republicans have been milquetoast for a long time, all my life, and I have been around since the early 50s.
And we all know that AP is worried sick that the GOP won’t win in 2016. Who believes this tripe?
And who exactly was the last great articulator of the conservative message in a Presidetial election. Ronaldus Magnus. But then, he only won 49 states.
Q.E.D.
NPR is worried about the GOP’s chances ?
The GOPe is an entrenched and fairly well funded bureaucracy. And the number one goal of a bureaucracy is self-preservation. They will resist reform by subterfuge and every action imaginable. IMHO it would be easier to start with a clean slate.
We can win ‘16 handily with Walker/Cruz. Sarah Chief of Staff to winnow out, nay, CAST out in flames the bureaucracy.
FIFY.
Is he attending Senate sessions in full make-up, a sundress and strappy sandals yet?
1. If Graham succeeds in legalizing tens of millions of new Hispanic voters, winning will indeed be more difficult. But with a still rooted White majority vote, all that would be required to win, even given the percentages of minority votes that he describes, is for the White voters to wake up. (Also, a more Conservative approach to Republican politics, could actually increase our share of the East Asian vote.)
2. Also, Graham is so intent upon surrendering the American heritage to a Leftist international culture, that he misses the most obvious point, with respect to his own statistics. There is a fundamental conflict of interest between those whom he insulting calls "African-Americans" and the Hispanic interests to which he seeks to pander. Those illegals, as well as those whom he would admit legally, are taking jobs & potential jobs, from our rooted Black population. If he had any sense, he would recognize this problem & address it, not run after the agenda of the Leftist internationalists, like a dog with his tale between his legs.

Backed fully by the CFR and international financiers.
“IMHO it would be easier to start with a clean slate”
Exactly, and I doubt that will happen without entropy. We will only find salvation after the Phoenix rises from the ashes.
Very nice post...*still holding nose*
The last time we ran a conservative, we ONLY WON forty-nine of the fifty-seven states?
But Reagan was before the CFR, globalists, Bushes, and NWO were calling the shots.
:-(
Find it strange when the excuse is being given that while the government knows whats going on in 300 million citizens lives but because the illegals are not citizens and in “the shadows” according to Florida’s Senator Rubio the US doesn’t know who they are or where they’re comming from so we must make them citizens..
THE QUESTION IS SENATORS AND CONGRESS MEMBERS ...WHY ARE YOU SO SET ON IMPORTING LOW WAGE LABORERS MAINLY FROM ONE COUNTRY WHICH TAKE UP JOBS OUR YOUTH COULD BE PERFORMING AND HURTING THE BLACK AMERICAN JOB MARKET ?
FR’s ; are urged to visit their respective Congressional Representatives and let them know their feelings
WHEN IT COMES TO AMNESTY
THIS IS THE MEXICAN PART NO ONE DARES MENTION
If you agree with the above and the following please don’t let it lay here in FR-land. Pass it on to to your favorite talk show host and to your US legislators. PUSH THE HASTERT RULE.
ONE NATIONALITY AMNESTY SKEWS QUOTAS. HURTS OTHERS FROM SOUTH AMERICA, AND SKILLED LABOR QUOTAS FROM OTHER NATIONS ...WORSE YET OFFERING AMNESTY FOR NATIONALS FROM A COUNTRY THAT HAS CLAIMS ON OUR NATIONAL TERRITORY THAT COULD AND HAS TURNED INTO PROBLEMS FOR BORDER STATES CLAIMED BY MEXICO ?
In that May 3rd speech Obama gave before the Mexican Anthropological Museum in which he blamed America for the violence in Mexico I believe he went even futhur. There’s a inference but never referenced by name to the Gasden purchase and border settlements US made with Mexico where Obama hinted he seems to side with the Mexican claims. Would those in attendence share that view is a question that should be asked, because I believe they would,.he does.
SOLVING THE ‘LATINO” PROBLEM A MYTH HISPANIC IS NOT A RACE BUT A POLITICAL LINGUISTIC CONTRIVANCE ...don’t fall into the hyphenated Americans trap created by the hyphenated political party ...The DEMO-COMS
The Mexicans have been getting most favorable treatment above the rest of our neighbors both north and south. They’re permitted to cross our borders and enter illegally and are allowed access to rights of citizenship (with the exception of voting which if the democrat party regains control over the House will happen) other nationals entering this country don’t get.. Worse yet the Obama government has been working hand in glove with Mexican movements such as LaRaza supporting the Mexican claims which are also supporting “Amnesty”.
Also by allowing Mexicans to do this any quota ration for immigration from other south and central American countrys are taken up by Mexicans while that country is laying claim to a large chunk of our sovereign territory is a recipe for later serious problems which are happening now.
ARE MEXICAN ILLEGALS SQUATTERS PERPETUATING THE MEXICAN CLAIMS ?
We are already seeing the result of this in certain areas claimed by the Mexicans. Their national flag (standard) gets displayed over ours. Where there is a controlling number of Mexican nationals (illegals). It’s displayed over certain institutions particularly schools accompanied by riots and disturbances. Blacks are threatend by Mexicans in certain sections of citys in those areas. We’re courting trouble by not placing a value on our sovereignty and our citizenship.
MOST COINS OF THE REALM HAVE TWO FACES WHAT ABOUT HOW ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS LIVING IN MEXICO BEING TREATED ?
Worse yet if a US citizen goes into Mexico never mind illegaly but legally. They’ll get 2nd class treatment. Land ownership in title is prohibited period. And there are a slew of regulations they must comply with. Which doesn’t apply to a citizen of Mexico
THE SOLUTION ASSERT OUR SOVEREIGNTY AND TALK RECIPROCITY .
By not insisting on reciprocity particularly on those who have entered this country illegally we’re offering no incentive for assimilation and we’re not easing the burden for our fellow citizens who for what ever reason decided to live in Mexico.
ENOUGH OF THE ONE WORLD SOCIALISM ...BRING BACK SOVEREIGNTY AND SANITY TO OUR COUNTRY .....BRING BACK BELIEF IN GOD ...THIS GOVERNMENT OUT OUR FACE..... OUR RELIGIONS..... AND OUR BEDROOMS..
The GOPe strategy looks pretty rock solid to me - - go along with the scumbag Democrats on everything while trying not to look like it.
LOL!
The GOPe will soil themselves, pretend nothing happened, and then check in with Frank Luntz.
/facepalm
