Republicans' outreach to minorities FAIL

[Pommer]

August is such a busy month!

Well, most of the marchers on Washington and a huge part of the Civil Rights movement were far leftists. I find it funny that many Republicans won't just come out and say it. They just make pretty lame excuses why they didn't go.

Maybe they didn't want to get boo'd off the stage by 50,000 liberals.

Who says they had to be on the stage? Just showing up might have been nice enough...

Not a single Republican elected official

has got a thick enough skin to handled being booed? Or maybe what they were really concerned with was their reelection campaign.

I missed the stats about how many conservatives were among the marchers.

I missed the stats that mentioned "conservatives" at all?

But I didn't miss the stat the mentioned

s. If fact I quoted it.

Apparently none, according to your last post up there. If there were so many, why would republicans fear being booed off the stage?

Still this is better than most of their outreach. Which generally involves reminding us that the Republicans freed the slaves in the 1860s and completely ignoring stupid racist remarks that some GOP politicians say today.

Them simply keeping their mouths shut is better.

I doubt a conservative opinion would even be allowed at this far left rally just like it would have not been allowed in the march 50 years ago. Conservatives should not be commemorating MLK, the radical parts of the Civil Rights movement, or anything of the sort.

...so it's business as usual at the Party for "cranky old white guys"?

One of my favorite humorous quips regarding the civil rights march,

"We Shall Overcome", should be rephrased to "We Shall All Come Over".

Hey, I resemble that remark.

Creech is what the GOP really needs.

I call "sock puppet account!" please ban one of them.

Well, I don't think pandering has been working for Republicans too well in the past few years, which they have obviously tried to do and continue to do. I don't think it would hurt to consistently remain conservative.

I wish.

Except based on the definitions and arguments you've given us time and time again, "consistently conservative" means consistently unintelligent and ignorant for the sake of tradition. If the GOP thought the same way you did, they'd never win anything except local position.
