You see GF, the problem with his thinking is that he has got it all wrong. He thinks for some strange reason that the GOP's path to success is to offer what he perceives blacks and hispanics want as far as goodies from the govt. I would like him to point to one example of that approach working on the national level. I agree with him about reaching out to blacks and hispanics but what is needed is the kind of leader that can explain to them why limited federal govt, low taxation, fewer regulations always works and always will work and that they will benefit greatly from these policies as they have in the past. Fortunately we currently have the poster child for what does not work and like Jimmy Carter before him we have a unique opportunity to move things in the right direction (pun intended). Whether the GOP can capitalize on this golden opportunity is anyone's guess but if Rand Paul is any indication it seems unlikely. We cannot win a national election by trying to be a less generous Santa Claus........a majority will always go for the full monte instead of lukewarm "effective" big government. And why should they unless someone can clearly articulate why voting for the so-called goodies is never the path to life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness.
Think critically GF.......don't just troll around for some article that you like and post it with the word truth when it is in fact just one person's opinion. Use your brain on something other than video games and pornography. I know you can do it!!
