Black Catholic appointed "Leader of the Republican Party"

[Lenny]

"Predictable" is the word of the day. 'Ridiculous' and 'disgraceful' run a close second and third. 'Idiotic' gets an honorary mention.

Even though they're rarer than Redneck Obama-fanatics, the Republican Party just appointed a "black Republican" named Michael Steele (a Roman Catholic from Maryland) to be their new leader, face, and spokesman.

Blacks are celebrating that he is black (I suppose); Catholics are gloating about what a "pro-life Catholic" he is; Jews, communists, and various immigrant groups are elated at another nonwhite figurehead in the U.S. political mainstream. 2042 is no longer crawling closer towards us by the day, it seems to running full-steam ahead towards us.

The Idiocy of the Republicans

1. The Republican Party doesn't seem to understand that regardless of whatever pandering they do to racial minorities, they'll be perceived as a "white racist" party anyway. [26% of the people who voted in 2008 were nonwhite, they voted ~85-15 for Obama. Even Hispanics (excl. Cubans) went 3-1 for Obama despite McCain being perhaps the most proHispanic politician ever on the U.S. political stage].
2. The Republican Party doesn't seem to understand that 90-95% of its votes come from whites. [~95% of votes for the odious Jon McCain last year were from whites]. They continue to advocate for policies hostile to their own voters and ultimately hostile to their own political future.

Any party that stupid deserves to die off and never win a single election.

It would be really, really nice if you were f**king kidding me, but of course it's not the case.I suppose after Mrs.Gooding sees this, she'll rethink her Republican stance.Too bad we don't have a National Folkish Party.I'd pay dues for that one...

The Republicans seem to think that the have to counter the Black Democratic President with another Negro. This was the kind of thinking that lead the Illinois Republican Party to run Alan Keyes - a conservative Negro ()from Maryland - as the Republican nominee for the US Senate in 2004 against Barack Obama. There is some talk of Bobby Jindah of Lousiana being the Republican nominee for president in 2012. What is needed is an outright play for the White vote. Like Bush 41 did when he ran those Willie Horton ads in 88. McCain would be president today if he had played the Jeremiah Wright card. No amount of pandering to minorities will make up for the White voters who are driven away from the Republican Party by the drive for diversity.

[Gooding]

Agreed.The problem with that would be that the more White voters who would be driven away from the polls would be replaced by minorities who would vote their own interests.Unfortunately, the U.S. is being artificially transformed into a nation of color and I think that we as Whites would be encouraged to leave so the current administration could put minority members into positions of power.This nation won't be a very white-friendly nation in the next few years, mark my words..

57% of Whites did NOT vote for Obonga. You never seem to see or hear this statistic on any news shows. The truely sad part is that 43% did.

He seems like a good person.

And.... ? The point of the thread is that the Republicans are pandering to minorities. That is bad.

This is one of the many reasons that I left the Republican party and became a libertarian and supported Ron Paul.
