To avoid being the 21st century Whig Party, GOP must forget minorities and focus on White votes BY COACH COLLINS, ON JULY 15TH, 2013
By Derrick Hollenbeck, staff writer
We’ve heard ad nauseam the advice from our good friend Chuck Schumer about how the Republicans can win the White House back if they would only grant amnesty to millions of new Democrat voters and erase our southern border. This is of course a lie designed to destroy the Republican Party akin to deliberately directing a lost motorist to take a washed out bridge during a roaring Nor’easter. Because what Democrats say and do is so often Satanic and purposefully dishonest here’s some advice from a rank and file conservative who actually wants the Republican Party to survive and grow.
The road to future political dominance is blindingly obvious to anyone who can count, but our Republican “leaders” are playing make believe with the clear truth. As damaged as our economy is we are still head and shoulders above the world.
The wagon of America’s economy is pulled by people who understand Judeo-Christian ethics and the value of hard work. Tending to the demands of White Americans, and those who share their values is simply a matter of siding with America’s “makers over our nation’s takers.”
With huge portions of Blacks and Hispanics falling outside of these parameters, it’s very easy to understand why both groups consistently vote Democrat. The Democrat lure of something for nothing is so overwhelming that it is not only foolhardy, but politically dangerous, to believe these “no worries minorities” will EVER vote Republican in any meaningful numbers.
Minority groups make up about 32% of the American voting public. Whites are more than double that number at about 68%. Analysis of last November’s presidential vote showed that had Mitt Romney merely gotten the same amount of White votes John McCain got in 2008 he would have won despite his poorly run campaign. Further examination proved that even had Romney gotten an impossible 70% of the Latino vote he still would have lost. Chasing minority votes is worse than a zero sum game. The minority votes a Republican picks up by pandering to Hispanics or Black voters comes nowhere near offsetting the Whites who continue to flee the Republican Party in protest.
It is an undeniable fact that Whites and people of like mind and ethic have a bigger stake in the survival of America than those who will flood into our country should the Republicans grant them amnesty. When the lifeblood of America is drained out they will simply pack up and leave for Mexico as has happened since the start of Obama’s depression.
So what does all this say? It clearly says that if the Republicans want to live as free Americans and continue as a national Party they will have to concentrate on meeting the needs of Whites and like-minded people. Democrats focus on catering to Blacks and Hispanics as their natural constituency; why shouldn’t Republicans focus on their natural constituency? Going after a bloc of voters, that is more than twice as large as the Democrat pool of minorities, makes sense even to a fourth grader.
Either Republicans will learn to live as the unabashed “White” Party ignoring Chuck Schumer’s advice and attacks from the Democrats’ puppet media, or they will become the 21st century’s Whigs. It’s your move, Mr. Boehner.
Why focus on race at all? Just get the message out there to anyone and everyone who will listen.
There are conservative blacks out there, and their voices are drowned out by the activists, like Jesse and Al, nobody speaks for them. This is who the GOP needs to go after, but they are lukewarm at best towards them, just ask Allen West.
I think 21st Century Wig opened for The Chocolate Watchband back in ‘67
Um no....
They need to focus on Freedom and Liberty and The Constitution
Things that are universal to ALL
How do you “focus on whites” anyway?
I believe the GOP needs to focus on conservatism. Good solid Reagan conservatism. They don’t need to focus on white, black, Hispanic or anything else. No squishy RINO moderate liberal limp wrist crap, just conservatism.
No, we don’t get to “forget” minorities, that would be a grave mistake. We just need to stop pandering to them in hopes to win their votes. It never worked and never will. GOP needs to return to the principles and stand by them. People of all colors, if they have any intelligence, will recognize and appreciate honesty and integrity.
Focus on LIBERTY, limited gooberment and Individual Freedoms.
This has come up several times recently and it seems like writers mean they want the republicans to stop pandering to minorities that aren’t going to vote for them anyway instead of actually being a “pro-white” party
Agreed 100%.
Bears repeating. Ignore race completely.
GOP this has been a long-time strength of our party. It seems to have passed under some sort of bridge since Obama was ordained.
Now, for some reason the GOP seems ready to come to the “appeal to race” party.
In my opinion this is precisely the wrong approach, at exactly the wrong time.
Color-blind is the right way to go.
There’s no such thing as “white votes”.
To use such a term falls prey to the paradigm of leftism.
There are “traditional American culture” votes.
God, Family, Guns, Property, Liberty.
That’s what needs to be gone after. It will win every time.
Nice in theory, but the media simply won't allow that. Rather, the GOP must appeal to those blacks who feel like neither party speaks for them, because they are not 'down with the struggle', like the Jesse and Al types. The media seems to believe that these clowns speak for all black people, and many Republican politicians act as if it were true as well.
The GOP needs a statesman like Ted Cruz to tell the the globalist pigs to park their agenda while we engage the rampaging marxists running the Democratic Party.
We need all hands on deck now and nobody stabbing us in the back (amnesty, etc.) to defeat the MSM/Dem complex. If we stay divided they will win and the country will be destroyed. It’s that simple.
The Republican party needs to adopt conservative principles and start articulating and teaching them.Those ideas are universal and are the greatest hope for the survival of this Republic.
Politics as pandering and failure to stick to principles has gotten the party into the trouble it is in now.
The GOPe has gone corporate and is abandoning it’s individual constituents. Look to the current push for amnesty to prove this.
The only answer for the GOP (and America) is to stand on the GOD fearing principals that made America great; not on party, race, gender, and age. It’s time for the remnant, which is actually the silent majority that stand for GOD, family, and country, to vote these people out of office.
Time is running out for America unless those who believe in freedom stand for freedom.
Chucky Schumer told the GOP they need to become the party of Gays and Hispanics and so they’re falling in line.
Focus? They need to START. These same jack-wagons have given us the DHS, TSA, NSA, Patriot Act, etc.
NOTHING has been done to ensure Liberty, Freedom let alone the Constitution; only lip service.
They SHOULD go the way of the Whigs, so a 2nd party, or more (the arena of ideas needs more than an opposing view), to rise us. Unfortunately, IMHO, we’re already in the 200yr. average and going down.
There is a minority but very politically powerful section of the GOP which is advocating illegal immigration to boost their cheap labor supply.
I believe Bush bought full-on to the illegal immigrant segment, and currently has sold out.
The GOP is currently manipulated to advocate ever more illegal immigration.
This is the question upon which the GOP will be decided.
Palin, pay attention.
This represents what is wrong with the GOP. America at the moment has gone totally upside down and backwards as far as who and what we support. A small demographic with much political influence, is currently in charge, selling out Americans in trade, and immigration.
BRING BACK AMERICA JOBS, and stop always trying to import more illegal immigration.
America is far and away the best nation on earth, regarding immigration. Yet we hear none of that.
All we hear, is constant whining.
I for one am fed up. Bring back American jobs, and stop bringing in illegal immigrants.
Sure perhaps we should work to make those who are here now, legal.
But then stop.
Now.
“The minority votes a Republican picks up by pandering to Hispanics or Black voters comes nowhere near offsetting the Whites who continue to flee the Republican Party in protest.”
Needs to be repeated often.
