Diagnosis GOP: Critical Condition
We’ve learned the Republican Party has been admitted to Hospital USA and is in critical condition after being slammed in the rear end by the Democrat Party in the 2012 presidential election. The diagnosis for recovery is poor. The party is on life support. It’s white voter count is dropping fast and the party appears to be unable to boost it pool of brown, black, beige and female voters to help it regain strength in future elections.
The near fatal accident was caused by Mitt Romney’s epic loss of the 2012 presidential election, despite the odds in his favor of an awful economy and historically high unemployment. Romney lost the woman vote by double digits to President Obama (44%-55%) along with the black, Hispanic and youth vote. Caught up in the euphoria of winning 60% of the white vote, 78% of the evangelical vote and 52% of the male vote, Romney lost control of the Republican party on the political freeway, came to an abrupt stop, resulting in the collision with the Democrat party.
The doctor called in the Party’s guardians and explained the old drugs “weren’t working” and offered a rarely used, risky treatment to revive the Republican Party. With a grave look, the doctor suggested a transplant of new faces and voices into the soul the GOP.
Listening to the doctor’s recommendation, the white and mostly elder men gasped in disbelief. After some consternation and talk amongst themselves, the party leaders agreed to the try the treatment. They turned to the House Republicans who elected Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA) as House Republican Conference Chairwoman. “Whew,” the men uttered with a heavy sigh, thinking all now would be well.
But the doctor warned, “Making McMorris part of the leadership team and the highest ranking woman among House Republicans will help the party regain consciousness but it’s only a short term fix.”
“What do you mean?” howled those in the establishment who were present, Haley Barbour, Reince Priebus, Karl Rove, Ed Gillespie, Ralph Reed, Rush Limbaugh, Gary Bauer and Mitt Romney, “You said all we needed was new blood.”
Casting a troubled look at the men, the doctor revealed that a scan of the Republican Party’s brain revealed it was suffering from a reality disorder called “voter denial” which has resulted in a serious “image problem.”
The doctor explained the party and Romney had failed to see the American electorate was getting browner not whiter. “The GOP will need serious treatments to begin seeing 28% of American voters are minorities and the number is growing. Never again will the party be able to win elections by just going after the white vote,” said the good doctor.
“No, that’s not true,” Romney interjected. “President Obama won because he focused on giving targeted groups a big gift —so he made a big effort on small things.”
“You’re not living in reality that’s the problem,” replied the doctor. “Obama exploited the minority, women and youth vote with empty promises but you ignored those groups because your world view their votes didn’t matter. Therefore, you are system of the party’s illness.”
Panic stricken and trembling with fear, the men pleaded with the doctor, “How does the Republican Party get better? How do we win again?”
“Sit down,” said the doctor. They obliged. The doctor gave the grim diagnosis. The problem he said is the GOP keeps running losing candidates, focuses too much on wedge issues like abortion and defining person hood and doesn’t bother growing the party beyond white people.
The doctor recommended an intense treatment plan for the Republican Party, gathering binders full of conservative minority and women resumes and diversifying the ranks of Hill, campaign and RNC staff. As for candidates, the doctor advised the party to start thinking outside the box, recruiting candidates to run for state and national offices, who look more like the changing face of America.
“If you’re serious about getting the party back on its feet,” declared the doctor, “you old white guys will open up the club’s guardianship to new blood. You’re literally killing the GOP with your image and tunnel vision.”
They grimaced as the words sank in and a long silence followed. The doctor couldn’t tell if they were willing to go forward with the treatment or let the party die a slow death. He waited for an answer.

The moral of this melodrama is change must come the Republican Party or as my father warned, America will find itself governed by one party. We don’t need to change our message but we need an image evolution and we need different messengers and to start talking to different people. The GOP is good at making our message boring and angry but not exciting and sexy.
The GOP has been on the wrong “trajectory” for years but only after Romney’s epic failure are Republicans having their “oh, crap” moment. What’s laughable is the very people like Newt Gingrich, Ralph Reed and Haley Barbour, who said the party needs “a very serious proctology exam” and must be more inclusive are the same white men who’ve been in power for decades and done nothing to change things. To borrow from Mitt, “what you’ve been doing hasn’t been working.” Maybe it’s time for the Republican Party to change the people in the driver’s seat.
Truevoice…
once again,
Tunnel vision will always hamper your view.
Your “facts” are selective not representative.
American Blacks are the most racist group of people on the planet.
FACT!
Dispute this “fact”.
Nice try Adolf but history and current events prove overwise…Blacks worldwide face constant racism from nazis like you..Do Black cops killed unarmed white people…Do Black people try to pass voter suppression laws against other people…Do Black people try to change the history of other cultures in order to push the illusion of white supremacy…ala a white Jesus and a republican MLK…Now let’s understand something Adolf…Black people have their share of issues such as Black on Black crime but must of these crimes can be avoided with a better economic standing..But no matter how much money a useless nazi like you has you will always hate Black people…just because they’re Black..Now I assume by you stupid remark you are white .,..but if by chance you happen to be Black then you are a sad stupid case of self hatred …grow up asshole…
And once again Adolf…you can’t dispute any of those facts….Why not grow a freaking pair and try it….
truevoice,
yep..
thanks for proving me right.
but, I already told you it was a fact.
your racism is equal to your childishness.
No numbers = no facts. You are confusing professing your perspective against measurement and accounting. Yelling ‘hoorah’ for my side is something anyone can do with abandon. However, I will give you facts.
In the 2012 budget (which ended on Sept. 30th), the central government spent $3,796 Billion. Total revenues collected was $2,469 Billion. Our revenue was only adequate to cover Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. The remaining $1,327 Billion (-$3.635 Billion per day) was all deficit spending. That means there was no money left for welfare, unemployment, environmentalism, defense, civil service, transportation, the Coast Guard, Border Patrol, immigration, nor even to pay our fat-cat politicians in Washington DC. And that’s a fact.
@walkercolt…You want numbers how about these numbers..When President Obama took office the country was losing over 700,000 jobs per month…Now the country is adding jobs for 31 straught months..When Bush took office the country had a budget surplus…When Bush left office the country had the biggest deficit in history..What’s interesting is that your numbers are proof that the country needs more revenue , less spending and more cooperation…BUT..Let’s be honest , we all know that the GOP hates President Obama because he is a man of color…That is a fact that some Black conservatives have a hard time dealing with..Why is that…???..Now Obama received around 30% of the Black conservative vote – down from 50% which Obama got in the last election – but Obama still got some votes from Black conservatives. Therefore some Black conservatives can see the racism from the GOP but most Black conservatives are in a “slave menrality” and remain silent on the racism from the GOP…Here’s a fact that you can see right on this site..A white conservative stated that “American Blacks are the most racist group of people on the planet” and not one Black conservative stepped to this racist fool and corrected him..They didn’t even give the usual right wing parroting line about white democrats from the 50s and 60s…This is why Black conservatives have little or no respect in the Black community..Now let’s be honest once again , democrats are not free from racist practices , however at this time the GOP is the most racist political party in the country.White supremacist groups support the GOP…white supremacist candidates for political office are in the GOP…This is somethig that Black conservatives should be VERY VOCAL ABOUT…But instead most Black conservatives scream about Obama and parrot right wing lies about Obama…Now be honest once again…look at what the GOP has done in the last 4 years since Obama has been in office..The racist tea party , the voter suppression , the record setting filibusters , the constant lies , were all a factor in Obama getting re-elected..Why do Black conservatives support these obvious racist actions…???..Why are Black conservatives “ok” with one Black member of the GOP congress.in the year 2012..!!!….I asked a question concerning this fact and the response I got was “when have you voted for a Black republican”…WTF..??..Like it’s my fault or the fault of Black voters that Black republicans are not electable..Maybe Black conservatives need to look in the mirror more then putting blame on a Black electorate..Maybe Black conservatives should be honest about the lack of support from the GOP when it comes to allowing Black republicans a seat at the political table..And “rent-a-knee-grows” like Allen Keyes , Lynn Swan , German…I mean Herman Cain do not bring any serious Black candidates to the voting electorate..And until white conservatives move past their racfst attitude , Black conservatives will never get more then 2-3 members in congress…Just ask Mia Love…This is my point…
He who raises his voice first loses. TRY NOT TO USE CAPITAL LETTERS. It’s just plain silly.
@waltercolt…translation:..I can’t dispute your facts so I’ll just say SOMETHING STUPID.
I suggest sexy blazers. Conservatism: represent!

Ahh, another “Conservative” who believes that we should just become like the democrats so we can “Win again”…
To the conservative black chick who publishes this I ask a question?
What disqualifies a candidate in “Her” view. Would she support a candidate who is openly racist? How about one who is openly pro Palestine? How about one who is pro sexual inversion marriage? How about one that is in favor of infanticide? What is the disqualifier for a RE-publican?
Reading this blog post she says that we must be willing to kill children so that we can win. How many children should we sacrifice for power? 1 or 100 or 100,000? How about only any child she gets pregnant with?
Thinking like hers is why the RE-publicans have lost the last two presidential elections and why the RE-publican party needs to just die, as they seem to be in favor of death anyway.
What national politics has become because of the liberals masquerading as conservatives is nothing more than a spectator sport. Rooting for the Redskins is great and is not wrong or immoral. It doesn’t matter what RG3 believes personally or what he does off the field. He is on your team so you root for him to win. This is the same philosophical state of the RE-publican party. It doesn’t matter what the candidate believes or has done in the past because he is on your team so you need to root him one and vote for him.
And this Pseudoconservativeblackchick is part of the problem with the RE-publicans.
why dont CBC call out the racism in the gop? If u cant do that its hard to take you seriously. Youre no better than a STEPPIN FETCHIT…just dress better
wont post
