SMYRNA, Ga. (AP) — Like an eager date, Leo Smith showed up at Mount Zion First Baptist Church with a bouquet of flowers in hand.
He wasn't seeking romance. He was seeking voters.
As the minority engagement director for the Georgia Republican Party, Smith is helping to lead an effort to recruit African-American voters in pivotal states, a priority for a heavily white party staring with uncertainty at a country that is fast becoming more brown.

What exactly did the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965 accomplish?
Are the passage of those Civil Rights acts really something that should be promoted by the Republicans?
Why? Are they prejudiced? Maybe they don't like whites?
No. They get a ration of grief and called “Uncle Tom”.
Republicans should try to recruit the tens of millions of eligible white voters that never bother to go to the polls because they think they aren’t represented by the two major political parties.
Exactly! What did the so called Civil Rights act accomplish? And about those so called ‘civil rights’ Do whites have these civil rights?
How does this whole race thing work?
Whoa! Look at all those stealth GOP voters!
It is spending $60 million to court black voters, and a new initiative aims to recruit 300 women and 200 minorities to run for state and local office.
Really? Are they going to make a donation to the Black Caucus or NAACP or what?
Once some freepers were holding a demonstration in front of the UN and the traffic on First Avenue was at a standstill. A black couple in a car were watching us. Some of the demonstrators started shouting thing to them, like “School choice!” They shook their heads no. I can’t remember the other attempts to gain their favor. Then some young woman yelled “The right to defend yourself!”
That’s when they broke out into smiles and shot their fists into the air, to the roars and cheers from the conservatives.
(I can’t even remember what we were protesting. It wasn’t gun rights. That was in the summer of 2001.)
The GOP needs to concentrate on running Conservative candidates in hopes of turning out the 4-5 million Conservatives that supposedly stayed home in 2012.
Yup, it's the voters' fault.
I love that rationale, Karl Rove.
#1 'We suck less,' may seem like a good platform for the RNC to run on each cycle, but it isn't one I'll vote for.
#2 Running against an anti-gun, rabid pro-abort, pro-socialized medicine incumbent that oversaw the sodomy and murder of a U.S. Ambassador and three other Americans all the while denying military intervention, two months before the election, an increase in gas prices of nearly $2 a gallon over the course of his term, an increase in the real unemployment rate, in a dismal economy - should've been an easy win.........unless you're the Stupid Party:
Then you run an Etch-a-Sketch candidate that switches parties, favors abortion, socialized medicine, and is anti-gun and didn't carry either state he called "home"
The RNC's spineless, unprincipled, douchebag candidates and Rovian lapdog supporters handed 0bama another term when they ran his photo-negative.
- Hint: Sucking that bad is not the voters' fault.
Go tell Karl he needs to come up with better talking points and a bigger dry erase board.......these ones are getting kind of tired and no one's buying it.
>> walking with
Walking with, or walking ahead of?
No, just imagining the scene.
I first thought the assailant was along side, but further in your description you indicated he turned around. I wasn’t sure if he was a stranger or company to the woman.
If the GOOPers only had your wisdom.
As far as I’m concerned, the Republican Party is struggling to recruit conservative voters and candidates.
That's false; Carol Moseley Braun was elected to the U.S. Senate as a Democrat in 1992.
I didn’t make the graphic but you’re correct. She left in 99.
Chasing the Black or Hispanic vote is a waste of time energy and money. 68% of Americas is White - the morons in the GOP won’t see this until it’s too late. Good bye GOP I’ll never vote for you again.
