Top Nevada GOPer Brags 2014 Will Be ‘A Great Year For Republicans’ Because Minorities Won’t Vote

In an interview with a conservative radio host, Nevada Assembly Minority Leader Pat Hickey (R) predicted big GOP wins next year because people of color and younger voters will not turn out. According to Hickey, “we have some real opportunities in 2014″:

This is a great year in an off presidential election. No, seemingly no Democrat on the top of the ticket against Sandoval. No Harry Reid. Probably where we had a million voters turn out in 2012 we’ll have like 700,000. A lot of minorities, a lot of younger people will not turn out in an non-presidential year. It’s a great year for Republicans.

1. Not all Republicans are racist...

...but all racists are Republican

3. Nope you're wrong

ALL REPUBLICANS ARE RACIST! Why would you stay in that party? You know that as a member you're enabling them!

4. Unfortunately I can't say that's totally true

There are racist Dems. Fortunately, there are far fewer than racist Republicans, and the modern Democratic Party doesn't actively play to those nastier aspects of human nature.

Patrick Hickey (born 1950) is a politician from Nevada. He is a representative in the Nevada State Assembly representing Assembly District 25 in Washoe County.[1] In 2009 his autobiography, Tahoe Boy: A Journey Back Home was published by Seven Locks Press of Cabin John, Maryland.[2][3]

Hickey was born in Carson City, Nevada.[4] As a young man he refused induction into the United States military during the Vietnam War, dropped out of college, and travelled through Canada as a "hippie." Soon after this he joined the Unification Church of the United States which at that time had only recently been founded.[2] Hickey worked in the Unification Church as a state leader and regional spokesperson. In 1978 he was matched with his wife, Shin Myung-hee of South Korea, by church founder Sun Myung Moon. They were married in 1982 in a Blessing ceremony of the Unification Church, held in Madison Square Garden in New York City, along with over 2000 other couples. They now have four grown children.[2]

Hickey moved to Nevada in the 1990s and worked as a reporter as well as founding a house painting company. In 1996 he was elected to the Nevada State Assembly and served for one term. In 2010 he ran again and was elected. He is a member of the Republican Party and has advocated conservative positions on taxation and immigration. He is now a member of the Roman Catholic Church, in which he was originally raised.[1]
