What has the GOP come to?

I think you sicko's are running out of cool aid.

 

The GOP would do well to read through those bullet points, and pick the ones they are willing to compromise on and move to the center on, without losing it's identity. You can no longer win a Presidency in the USofA based on the beliefs and votes of ONLY conservative white men.

Look at the numbers:

The Obama campaign's heavy focus on women's issues for the past year paid off in a big way on Tuesday night, resulting in an 18-point gender gap that largely contributed to the president's reelection.

According to CNN's exit polls, 55 percent of women voted for Obama, while only 44 percent voted for Mitt Romney.

 

Election aftermath: GOP soul-searching: 'Too old, too white, too male'?




BOSTON — President Barack Obama’s thrashing of Mitt Romney exposed glaring structural weaknesses in the GOP that will shut the Republicans out of the White House until they find a way to appeal to a rapidly changing America.

Battling a wheezing economy and a deeply motivated opposition, Obama still managed to retain much of his 2008 map because of the GOP’s deficiencies with the voters who are changing the political face of once conservative-leaning Virginia, Florida, Colorado and Nevada.



Republicans face a crisis: The country is growing less white, and their coalition has become more white in recent years.

In 2004, George W. Bush won 44 percent of Hispanics. Four years later, John McCain, the author of an immigration reform bill, took 31 percent of Hispanics. And this year, Romney captured only 27 percent of Hispanics.

“The conservative movement should have particular appeal to people in minority and immigrant communities who are trying to make it, and Republicans need to work harder than ever to communicate our beliefs to them,” said Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who will immediately be looked to as a potential 2016 presidential candidate.



But the GOP’s problem is more fundamental than one bloc of voters. For the second consecutive presidential election, the Republican got thumped among women and young voters in the states that decided the election.

“Our party needs to realize that it’s too old and too white and too male and it needs to figure out how to catch up with the demographics of the country before it’s too late,” said Al Cardenas, the head of the American Conservative Union and a longtime GOP leader. “Our party needs a lot of work to do if we expect to be competitive in the near future.”

Rep. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), a prospective 2014 statewide candidate in a state moving sharply to the middle, was just as blunt: “After tonight, the GOP had better figure out that a big tent sounds good, but if there aren’t any seats in it, what good is it.”

The desperate straits Republicans find themselves in are structural. But Romney should not be completely absolved of responsibility for his party’s ebb. He galloped to the right on immigration and reproductive issues in the GOP primary and only awkwardly attempted to move to the middle on those issues in the fall. His 50s-era persona was almost comically far removed from Americans who are in their 20s and 30s. And he never attempted to distance himself from or truly challenge a Republican Party that still bears bruises left from the Bush years.



But the rapidly growing population of minorities is something that looms larger than one flawed candidate.

Look no further than Florida, that reliable battleground that usually picks White House winners. Obama won there by only 2½ percentage points in 2008, but somehow found a way to eke out a narrow lead again in the face of 8.7 percent unemployment there.

Why? Partly because there are 190,000 more Hispanics and 50,000 more African-Americans in the state than there were in 2008....

So IOW, us old/older white productive tax paying males simply need to embrace illegal immigration, welfare, all things gay and socialism?

 

+1

that is why I could not vote for Romney albeit I think he could have been a good CEO/manager and frankly would have been more centered if not for the nut-jobs on the far right and their religious hypocrisies etc.

'legitimate rape' or 'if a woman gets pregnant via rape it's god's will'
etc.etc. ad nauseum

a total bunch of nut-jobs that belong to the republican party just like you have a bunch of free-loaders with their irresponsbile entitlement mentality and government suck-jobs/workers in place wasting money and mismanaging government by the billions on the left.

 

LOL

+100

 

Don't forget the tea party and Norquist nutjobs: We will not raises taxes $1 even if you cut spending $10. Never! Ever! No matter what!!

 

the republican party and et have a lot in common. see any women around here?
if all of et were at a big party and they took a wide shot mostly what you would see is angry white men.
