I agree in principle that the Republicans are losing the popular culture image war to the Democrats, although not sure if this effort solves the problem. It's hard to compete with a media that is 90% pro-libs and it's further hard to compete with Obama giving handouts right and left to his traditional voting base (the unemployed, poor, minorities, etc).

I do not want the hip-hop voters as a part of the Republican coalition, simply because I do not share their values. Republicans are not about handouts, freebies, lack of respect for women, and lack of personal accountability. The Republicans have a natural advantage with Hispanic voters that must be worked. That advantage is pro-life policies, pro-business policies, and free trade policies. I favor McCain/Bush's more moderate approach to immigration, an issue that murdered Hispanic support for the GOP in 2008. That stance must be moderated to regain these voters.

Unless you think the rock voters are all about devil worshipping and shooting up schools, this is an ignorant statement. But, i expect nothing less from...

And yet the Repubs have Macaca Allen speaking on the future of Hispanics in the GOP. Satire is insufficient.

I see the repubs have started a serious effort to get black the power they have lost the last two elections.
