You only have to take one quick glance at the delegates in attendance at the RNC in Tampa, where only two percent are black, to tell that they belong to a party thats reportedly 92 percent white. The party basically had to put an ad out on Craigs List (and not for anonymous sex this time) to find enough minority speakers for its convention. Perhaps realizing that his party is become the party of your racist uncle in the attic, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) bemoaned the Republican partys lack of homogeneity.
The demographics race were losing badly [sic],the senior senator from South Carolina explained. Were not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long-term. (Raw Story)
How do you suppose the GOP generate more angry white guys, Sen. Graham? Perhaps Rush Limbaugh could give out free truck nuts and Budweiser at NASCAR events?
The GOP may not be generating angry white men, but its ranks are surely replete with them. Further, Mitt Romney and his best campaign that Citizen United money can buy is surely doing everything in its power to ensure that angry white men, particularly lower to middle-income ones, will vote for Romney in November. Indeed, a multimillionaire patrician of a privileged background feels your pain and really would like for you to vote against your economic self-interest. Case in point; flagrantly lying about President Obama gutting work requirement for welfare and running ads that show blue-collar white workers (you know, the ones that Romney loved to fire) toiling as misleading quotes about Obama defying the 1996 welfare reform requirement and doling out welfare checks willy-nilly. Of course President Obama has done no such thing and, in fact, gave Republicans the very thing they love in the form of states rights by giving them more flexibility regarding the work requirements.

(26,255 posts)1. I'm thinking an increasing number of white guys are angry AT the rethugs
Now, if he'd said MAD, as in INSANE white guys, then I'd say he has a valid point

this might be the election that show the GOP is in big trouble unless they start reaching out to minority voters and women.
