(46,705 posts)...to look back and see how the Republicans painted themselves in a corner. It took at least fifty years of protectionist tactics, which were meant to resonate with their voters. But, each time they targeted a minority demographic in order to galvanize their voters, they cut themselves off from a potential voter group. Year after year, they came out with the soundbites: welfare queens, immigrants from Latin America, gays, Liberals...until the day they looked around and found themselves in the minority.
I bet they still can't figure out what happened.

(15,031 posts)First we went after the welfare queens, and we did speak out -- because we did not want them in our party.
Then we took off on the gays & the rest of their ilk, and we all spoke out -- because we didn't want them in our party.
Next we castigated the Libtards & their others, and we did speak often -- because they never were in our party.
The Hispanics were next, and we all chimed in, because we never liked them -- they would ruin our party.
And we have a whole raft of others we intend to drive away soon -- because, this is our party.
Then there won't be anyone left, because we'll all pass soon -- but what an exclusive club was our party!

I'm just trying to stop the Dems from constantly trying to meet them halfway to oblivion.
