i dont hate anyone. i dont think government should be as white as it is in 2014. white males like yourself may feel threatened by that which is why you are so defensive.
the GOP being as white as it is now is no good. gop leadership even knows that.
its the GOP white base such as yourself who is against the influx of minorities into the party. more minorities, naturally means less whites, which makes whites such as yourself angry. your angry that the GOP is trying to specifically recruit hispanics and blacks, which is why you attacked my post. you dont want it, even though your party's leadership is actively pursuing it.
No Republican is against minorities entering the party. We usually get behind them. I now have a Hispanic state rep and he is a republican.
What we won't do is change drastically for minorities to enter our party. If you believe as we do we don't care what color or sex a person is.
It is a victory for her and the party, no question about it, though if Matheison did run for re-election she likely would have lost. With that being said I think a comparison to Virginia is a good one. A race that wasn't expected to be close wound up being much closer than anyone thought.
I was wrong with my predictions as I thought we would wind up with a 50-50 Senate (6 GOP victories, + an Orman victory), and a bit surprised by the likely 9 seat pickup once Alaska is finalized and the runoff in Louisiana happens. Not completely shocked, but surprised nonetheless. Virginia being as close as what it was probably the most shocking to me. Love by only 3 considering the open seat, how Republican the district was, the overall climate was probably # 2 on that list (even more so than the MD & IL Gov races). Massachusetts didn't surprise me (not sure if I made the prediction on here, but made the preidction on another board that Coakley would lose since she doesn't know how to campaign)
Coakley is such a doofus. Her first race against Brown was hers to lose. She's a clumsy, inept campaigner. I can't believe that's the best that they could recruit.
I know this because I have listened in on R officials recruiting black community leaders to run for local and state office.
Officials of both parties actively recruit people at the local and state levels that they think might be good candidates. And, at least in some states, they actively look for credible minority candidates.
Stay with the Democratic party since they work for you... at election time.
Um, seriously? The "Some of our best friends are black" argument?
Call me when you start to stand up for the rights of *all* black people, because the GOP has been failing spectacularly at that one so far.
Making a blank statement like that needs to be backed up with examples, can you give us a few? If you are so sure of your facts can you explain why we are seeing more and more educated blacks support the GOP?
