This is all nonsense, True success is boring. Romney is the most electable and will add conservative credentials to this candidacy. He has strong debating skills, good ideas, and is not a Gaffe Master.

The anti-Obama is someone with experience and results, like Mitt.

How did we get to this sorry time.

The GOP is going to be out of power very soon and probably won’t ever regain power in many of our life times,

it will be much worse if mccain gets elected…he will so discredit conservatism that it will never have any political power again.

african americans started supporting democrats in the 1930s…while the democrats were supporting jim crow and the KKK…to think anything the republicans do will win them back is fantasy.

The GOP is going to be out of power very soon and probably won’t ever regain power in many of our life times, if ever but the problem isn’t minorities. The problem is the GOP was a big tent and the majority of the two biggest groups that filled that tent left when John McCain spent the last few years trashing them. The GOP needs to learn the art of minority politics (in Congress) because that’s where they’re going to be for quite a while. McCain could have pulled together the party, evangelicals would have voted for him and the Reagan law ans order types would have voted for him except for Feingold and then ShAmnesty. Even the fiscal conservatives are tending to belong to one or the other, maybe both of those key groups, and he ran them all off, fragmented their votes among too many other candidates and took the nomination spelling doom for the GOP. McCain should have known but he was too set on being a good Democrat rather than a good Conservative for the past 8 years.

Since you think that the Democratic Party is so wonderful (women and minorities vote for it!) why are you here?

Conservatives like me have no trouble with conservative females or minorities. They are mot being presented to me. Margaret Thatcher is the role model. Being one up and I will vote.

The role model thing only goes so far. I do not believe the black community will support a black conservative like they will support a black socialist. Newt is dreaming on that one.

You can scream and yell at me all you want or you look at the facts. If you look at how ethnic minorities vote (not just African Americans) they vote Democrat. A larger percentage of women vote Democrat. If you compare which Party had a larger number of women and minorities in Congress and other elected positions (even when Republicans were in power) I’m sure the Democrats would have the lion’s share.

You can continue to tell yourself that it doesn’t matter that they women and minorities don’t vote Republican but with that kind of attitude expect the GOP to soon be out of power for a very, very long time.

Not the best way to debate. That is, however, the best way to get your points nullified by your arrogance, childishness, and doucheitude.

I’m having trouble distinguishing your writing from philwynk’s, or my own of yesterday, for that matter.

We already knew who his top pick was….

I imagine Louisiana Governor Jindal wishes Newt Gingrich would shut up and go away. It can’t be very flattering to know that Gingrich’s preference for him as a Vice Presidential candidate is based partly on race, especially inasmuch as Jindal has always seemed to want to just be an American. Moreover, to the extent that Governor Jindal’s opponents think they have reasons to suppose Jindal is going away soon, he’s something of a “lame duck” as Governor. Gingrich is treating Jindal as a tool and undercutting him as Governor.

If that’s not good enough for you, then F*** YOU and F*** OFF.

What I’m saying is that the leadership in the Republican Party is not all that diverse (let us be honest) and America is diverse (that is just the way it is). I’m all for looking at people’s qualifications first. However, at some point the people are going to question if the Republican Party is inclusive if all they is one type of person make it to the top of the ranks.

You absolutely have GOT to be kidding.

Look, terryan, get a clue. The Republican party has been colorblind and gender-blind for decades. The reason — the only reason — that the numbers of “minorities” (women are not a minority, and never were) are small is that they self-select themselves out of the party. In spite of this, the Republican party has done a far, far better job of elevating qualified minorities to positions of real power than has the Democratic party, which has 90% of the black community to pick from.

I am completely sick of poseurs and fools who think there’s something wrong with the Republican party behaving precisely as Dr. King prescribed. If that’s not good enough for you, then F*** YOU and F*** OFF.

Stay classy.

You have point. However, that still doesn’t answer for the lack of diversity on your side.

terryannonline on July 23, 2008 at 9:26 PM

“Your” side? Is our side different from yours?

Preaches family values and bangs other chicks and delivers a divorce letter to his wife in the hospital.

Lies really are immortal.

Somebody like …. Newt!
