Ever since the civil rights movement, Republicans have done everything in their power to push minorities away from their party. So far they've conceded blacks, latinos, and gays. They are also doing every thing they can to concede the women vote. So why do they act surprised when minorities punish them at the polls by voting overwhelmingly Democratic?
A powerful coalition of minorities was crucial to Obama's victory in 08 and it will be crucial again to his victory in 2012. In fact, it is Obama's strong showing among minorities, particularly Latinos, that have put several former red states into play as swing states. The GOP is depending on conservative whites and an unlimited supply of Wall Street money to win the election. However, there is a limit to the amount of votes that money can buy.
On what evidence do you base this opinion? Republicans have done more for minorities than Democrats. Democrats have done everything to keep them dependent on Government for handouts, etc. They have never done anything to help them.
I guess the truth hits home for many on here. They know what I said is the truth and they have no rebuttal.
I hereby rest my case.
There is no rebuttal to something that is just a nonsensical claim. You presented no argument. Pretty lame if you ask me. You even tried to reassert the now tired and boring claim that Republicans are alienating women!
Put your Democrat Party playbook away. We all know what's in it, and it has just become a joke.
Come on. Democrats arent helping the minority community. Democrats need people to view themselves as victims and they take of advantage of minorities in this regard. Program after program aimed at keeping many on the Government dime.
And don't think for a minute that minorities haven't figured that out. I don't know where NewYorkGuy is getting his info (I think he's just making it up), but there are a lot of minorities that do vote Republican, and more and more every day are realizing what the Democrats stand for, and they don't like it.

School choice?
The philly union plan?
Better question: wtf has the donkeys done for minorities?
I'll go one further and say the Dems peaked with o. As far as minorities are concerned. It's the economy dummies.

Obama will lose in a landslide. his only hope is inelligble voters, and 'paid to vote' automaton voters picked up just before the polls close.
Any eligible voter of sound mind, despite assigned protective status, will hopefully cast a vote based on their perception of the disaster created by Obama.
Who would embrace such a candidate who has demonstrated such incompetence. Imagine, "my guy gave half a billion dollars to a solar company who was said to be about to fail and then thought it was a good idea in hindsight". "I am so glad he wasted my money and hope he takes more of my money or someone elses, to spend without hope of a return on investment"
"I want to vote for the guy who said my energy costs would necessarily skyrocket and really meant it"
I enjoy spending a larger part of may salary to heat my home and drive my car. It is a good thing that the cost of energy is skyrocketing".
Yep all good reasons for 'minorities' to vote for Obama.
Republicans talk about the culture of dependency and then basically say that minorities are too stupid to understand it and too lazy to do anything about it.
Now, you know very well that is a lie! Can you give us some examples? Quote some Republicans that have said minorites are too stupid, and too lazy. I dare you to come up with one statement from one Republican.
No they will vote for the man who respects them, not tread on them. By calling all minorities freeholders, you have just exemplified why many minorities would never consider voting for your party. You can't insult people and then expect them to turn around and vote for you at the same time.
Do you think that treating minorities as though they are little children is a sign of respect? Because I assure you, that's how liberals view them.
