Republicans are struggling to love Hispanics in an effort to draw votes in the next election, but they aren't even going to make an effort when it comes to blacks. There is a limit to how far the Republicans will stretch their IDEALS, Inclusion of Hispanics is demanding a lot, but inclusion of blacks is a bridge too far.

Oh, I don't know. If the GOP is supposedly the "conservative" party it should be catering to its conservative constituents, not pandering to negroes who just want more welfare, more affirmative action, commit a hugely disproportionate amount of violent crime, get more abortions than any other racial group, are infamous for rearing bastard children, etc. The GOP is failing because its fear of offending negroes and Hispanics is far greater than its commitment to its constituents.

Since when has stupidity and/or immorality been a reason to exclude someone from the Republican Party? I thought those two qualities were requisites for membership. Just last week John Boehner, the most incompetent Speaker of the House in history, was reelected by the GOP to be Speaker again. As the GOP has sold its soul to the big money boys and dedicated itself to corruption, I would think a crook would fit in beautifully. So why are these qualitites used to exclude blacks?

[Grimgerde]

The simple fact is that blacks only support politicians who promise more welfare. The GOP is in on this game too; in 1996 affirmative action and the welfare state were major issues that the GOP talked about. In 2008 and in 2012 the GOP didn't say a single WORD about either of these issues. Clearly the GOP is frightened of offending black people by talking about what used to be two core conservative issues. This is why the GOP is doomed to fail.

[Grimgerde]

This isn't true. The GOP has spent decades attempting to court blacks with the misguided belief that blacks are morally upstanding crypto-conservatives and the GOP often points to the fact that blacks tend to be highly religious as proof of this.The GOP chairman after the 2008 election was an incompetent RINO black man and another incompetent black man who had a history of harassing women was a major contender in the GOP primaries.
