Google "Dominionism"...or Christian Reconstructionism. This is what the right wants and has been aiming to implement in the USA for decades now, in my opinion. Basically a Theocracy imo. Just my view and opinion on the matter.

As many have said before Republicans have gerrymandered the districts so well in many states so that very few Republicans represent Blacks and Hispanics in their districts and therefore have no incentive to try and gain their votes. This hurts when they have to run nationwide and statewide contests.
I would worry about your own failed party, if I were you.
For me, I am tickled that you think the Democrat Party's huge failings are simply going to be solved by demographics. Keep whistling past the graveyard.
Indeed, love it, they just got their collective (pun intended) ass's handed to them and they are offering up solutions on what the party that just destroyed them needs to do to win.
No doubt the GOP has its challenges...namely being defined by the media and nitwits such as those on here. The electorate is definitely not the same as it was in the 80's but neither is the GOP. I am very encouraged by the Young, Diverse, Conservative candidates and elected officials in the GOP.

I have never met any conservatives that want a theocracy, fg.
With Clinton, one must factor in that she'll get the highest percent of the female vote in history. If the demographics stay similar to 2012, there's no way in hell the GOP has a chance.
I've said it before, and I've said it again. That party is too white and too old. You need to replace the old whites with young minorities like Booker and Rubio.
How the right can still back guys like Boehner and Mcconnell as figureheads is laughable.
Funny how a dark skin American of Sicilian family is an "anglo white" but a light skin "Hispanic" ain't white in 2015.
Out of all the social issues, opposition to illegitimacy would seem to be one least likely to curry favor. 75% of the children in major cities like Washington DC or Cleveland OH are born out of wedlock. Why pick that fight that will alienate so many?

What facts do you base your views on?
There are no facts to support it, just the hallucinations, probably drug-induced, of a deranged mind. People on the right tend to believe in individual liberty and wish to uphold the 'free exercise' clause of the First Amendment. This is the antithesis of theocracy. Those on the left tend to want collective values imposed, and are continually trying to chip away at the free exercise clause, whether Sandra Fluke, or the gay cake-baking activism that has emerged as a major force in Dem circles..

Because it will help people down the road..
I certainly agree that bearing children within marriage is a real benefit to the people in question as well as to society at large.
As far as advocating in favor of it, yes, its the right thing to do.
But there are no *political* advantages to doing so, if the question is how to solve the GOP's demographic/electoral challenges, considering the number engaged in having children out of wedlock which is the question posted by the OP. Tens of millions are born out of wedlock, berating people for this alienates a lot more voters than other issues. The Census Bureau , for example, estimates there are a total of just 180,000 gay marriage nationwide. Alienating that relative drop in the bucket is somehow considered a death sentence for the Republicans, this alienates a whole lot more.
I don't need a supernatural being, who may or may not exist, to tell me to behave morally. I just do it.
Nor do I but some people operate under a new progressive, liberal nonsense without morality. It's anything goes with them.
