I'll take a shot at this one. The difference is that the Democrats are trying to appeal to Hispanics by thumbing their noses at our immigration laws. The Southern Strategy had nothing to do with illegal immigrants.
That's a good one. If you say that, then you could also say that the Reagan Admin was openly hostile to protecting the rights of Americans who happened to be blacks and other minorities. This should also be labelled as "pandering" to specific groups. That is actually worse because the gov't is denying its own citizens.
I don't know about the RNC, but I would like the GOP to not accept diversity in the sense that liberals make it. In other words, do everything to pander to special groups instead of treating everyone the same regardless of their skin color or religion.
Nothing like the gop panders to, like gun owners, born again christian fanatics(american taliban) etc. ...

Please give and example with a viable link that the Reagan administration did that. What are these citizen rights that were supposedly denied? How is that pandering to a group? What group? I guess you aren't aware that Reagan signed the last amnesty?

Got some time???? Reagan was aloof and indifferent toward blacks when he was Potus. He started by starting his 80 campaign in Philadelphia, Miss, near where the 3 slain civil rights workers were found in 1964. He gutted the Office of Civil Rights of the Justice Dept by hiring such clowns like Uncle Calrence Thomas, that guy who said that their group was "2 women, a black and a cripple." He appointed archconservative judges to the bench and SCOTUS justices. Ever since, the repubs have tried to keep minority voters from voting in these presidential elections and using scathing remarks and propaganda in a sinister ploy to keep that racist white vote and evil evangelical vote in their column.
Reagan signed the last amnesty. Gee thanks stupid president!!!

Since you didn't provide a link to your assertions I will have to assume it is just your biased opinion. Nope the GOP just wants honest elections. IMO everyone should have to prove they are a citizen in order to vote. It is just leftist nonsense that they have been trying to prevent minorities from voting. Racist white vote? If you are going to start pulling the race card with me you will end up on my ignore list.
Yes, Reagan regretted that he signed that amnesty since it was only supposed to be for 1 1/2 million and 3 million came forward and it was promised that our borders would be secured and they weren't. Apparently Obama has learned nothing from that. He just gave 1.8 million of them a back door amnesty with work permits with 23 million Americans out of work. Yeah, go ahead and sing his and the rest of the Democrats praises.
I was recently watching a portion of the Republican convention and was struck that some Republican representatives were implying that they were the party that embraces diversity. Is this a fallacious claim? Isn't it true that Democrats embrace and value diversity far more than Republicans?
The Republicans don't care if you're a billionaire or just a multi-millionaire, as long as you donate plenty. They also will accept you if you if you want 20+ more wars, or only 10. They also appreciate you if you want all non-conformists of any kind sent to prison, whether for life or only 20 years. So I guess they allow a little diversity, at least in the people they take donations from.
I'm not for Obama, but Gary Johnson as he is fair, hard-working, honest, kind, and smart, and he cares about the 100% equally & wants us to get our Constitutional rights back.
A black cnn camera woman was attacked by rnc attendees bt throwing peanuts at her and yelling "this is how we feed animals". Enough said.
So we have a woman, we have a camera likely labeled CNN, and something black. Either a woman and/or camera or both. And a couple of guys pitching peanuts in the general direction of something black - a camera labeled CNN and/or its operator. Or maybe just the CNN label, as a representative of a particular press pool. So the press labels the guys as taunting the black woman.
Nonsense. Look at the statistics, Democrats have more Hispanics, African Americans and women in Congress alone.
Sure, if you selectively only choose the national congress. At the state level, Republicans have more Hispanic people elected. Perhaps the Democrats could embrace Hispanics more?

It's a valid question to be sure. It's not for lack of trying. When Gov Gray Davis was recalled back in 2003, the Lt Gov Bustamante ran for Dem nomination for governor and won, only to lose to Schwarzenegger.
A few years ago (2006 i think), the Texas Dems fielded Tony Sanchez, a rich Laredo banker. He lost to Rick Perry; no Dem has held statewide office since 1994. Henry Cisneros, the ex-mayor of San Antonio was runored to run for the Tex governorship in 1986, but scandal derailed that ambition.
Bill Richardson was the elected governor of New Mexico a few years ago before he accepted a cabinet position in the Obama administration.
Hispanics (mexican americans) are only concentrated relatively in certain states of the Southwest, Illinois and much smaller numbers in the other states. In the Southwest, Calif only elects Dems and Texas only elects Repubs. Ariz actually had a Dem governor back in the mid 70s, who was recently detained at the Texas-Mexico border checkpoint. I would like to see a Calif and/or Texas governor of mex descent elected in my lifetime.

The Republicans hate diversity, but
