Republicans search for secret to winning support from black voters

[Baitball Blogger]

Still reeling from losses they didn't expect, Republicans strategists are hoping black voters, who are the Democrats' most stalwart supporters, will help bring them future victories.

"[We] must in some way, some form, recruit blacks and other minorities," said the Rev. O'Neal Dozier, the African-American pastor of Worldwide Christian Center in Pompano Beach and a Republican Party activist. "We cannot win with the white people alone. We have to reach out and we have to pull in the blacks."

A Census Bureau analysis of voter participation released last month found that in 2012, for the first time in American history, a higher percentage of blacks voted than whites.

At recent gatherings in Boca Raton and Deerfield Beach, Republicans from South Florida and around the country commiserated and strategized as they tried to figure out whether they need cosmetic changes — or a fundamental overhaul.

4. It is impossible for them to do what they need to do to win support.

The best they can do is corrupt leaders of minority groups in an effort to herd them to the slaughter house.

8. After the latest election

There was some online essay about quotes from the GOP throughout the ages about how they needed to reach out to minorities and women. They're never going to actually sit down and come up with something that will work. They'll come up some half-assed effort while at the same time still saying and doing racist things, and when they lose again, it will be because democrats give Blacks free stuff and keep them in some sort of perpetual dependency on government, and whatever else they always say.

9. Bingo. The Republican Party has to completely dismantle itself, but they will not do it.

At least not in my lifetime, as long as farts my age (57) and older still vote.
