Pundit: LGBT Voters May Doom GOP Presidential Candidates

[William769]

George W. Bush might end up being the last Republican president of the United States — and if this is the case, LGBT Americans are at least partly responsible.

That's the conclusion reached by conservative media producer and writer Myra Adams, who first dealt with this subject in the months immediately before the 2012 presidential election and has revisited the issue in a recent Daily Beast article.

Among the reasons Adams lists for her concern about the future of her party is that the U.S. has "a culture where non-traditional social and sexual behavior has become mainstream," while the GOP "is growing increasingly white, old Southern, and male, which alienates ... gays" and other minorities. In other words, the influence of LGBT people and their societal acceptance and inclusion figure prominently in Adams's theory of why the Republican Party may be doomed.

Adams also cites "a mainstream media that is overwhelmingly comprised of journalists [who] are biased towards Democrats and liberal causes," "an education system controlled by liberals that churns out liberals," and "the influence of Hollywood," which makes being liberal "cool."

6. I don't think it's "white, old Southern, and male" that alienates gays and minorities.

It's the policies the GOP pursues that alienate almost everyone else.

Duh. "It's the policies, stupid!"

7. The GOP finds it hard to win elections when minorities are allowed to vote.

Of course they'll never admit that maybe, just maybe it's the backward policies within the 'party of no' that has anything to determine election outcomes. No, it's because all those people are allowed to vote! Give me a break!
