Bob,

There have always been polls taken and blacks almost always vote demoncrat. The left caters to blacks (in promises only) and has had the black vote tied up for years if not generations. So why would blacks go to a repubic convention? I would imagine that they wouldn't want their peers to know that they went even if the did support that platform.

Why is it when Bob talks about a heavy Caucasian presence, you guys immediately jump to he's wondering why there's no black people there, but yet you leave out every other ethnic group here in America. Latinos? Asians?

why should there be anybody there, except those who wish to attend?

should tokens be a requirement?

proportional tokens...that will fix it.

I wonder how many people were forced to attend, like these miners:

No wait, they weren't "forced" to attend, their managers just told them their attendance was "mandatory."

come now,
if that was true and provable, some one would be on their way to prison.
but it was inflammatory and some people want these things to be true, and it was enough to get you to pass it on.
and so the propaganda marches on.

no wonder power loves the internet.....
it's so f**k'n valuable.

the land where everything is true!!!!!

I would like to know? Please answer this question! "Why is it ALWAYS the WHITE guy's FAULT" that folks in the ghetto's want to act like a bunch of irresponsible LAWLESS HEATHEN'S that want to "Blame everyone else" for their lack of ambition! You guy's constantly make "Excuses" for your failure?

Furthermore I ask "Why is it always a spoiled pasty ole krusty Cracka that wants to spend everyone else's money? From YOUR soapbox you declare "anyone that has worked hard" and taken risk's are the "bad guy's"? :roll:

I don't see how this has to do with republicans... Its not like there was a white guy with a beret, , holding a bat, and shouting on and on about killing infants at the polls...

My answer has to be 'so what?'

A political party worth a damn (and we don't currently have one) should state their beliefs and if people like it good, if not fine...

But to cater to ethinic groups, unions, and the whole litnany of alms seekers is to me, sickening.

there is no rule of law if the people who run for office have to adjust their principals to satisfy various groups. Big tent? Who needs it. Being right matters.

It's been said that the US would be finished when people learned they could vote themselves other people's money. It happened. We're screwed.

LOL Chaeya! I thought maybe the Latinos weren't showing up cause of what was said by Speaker of the house , who said he had hoped they would not show up ... Same thing said about the Blacks...

I kinda think the Middle easterners, by default, would not show up (this just isn't their decade...possibly not the even their century...)

The Asians don't need to show up...since they are one or two cheques away from owning the White House anyway....

The Europeans actually don't 'want' to show up.

American Indians... They are simply honoring the party by not showing up (It looks bad for the casino owners...like it would suggest favoritism for house odds)

Of course, its quite possible and more realistic, that all the aforementioned groups simply lean democrat... and thus... none of them would attend a republican convention.

This does beg the question: Are Republicans 'always white guys?' and young America's new favorite whipping post?

All this talk of black, brown and white... Makes me hungry for some Black forest cake

. A major political party HAS to be inclusive. The Republican partgy has the perception of being run by and catering to rich busnessmen, many of whom are Caucasian. Here we have a rich businessman, Romney, who along with his reactionary VP choice Ryan, are talking about repealing Obamacare. And replacing it with what? The perception and reaiity for many minorities is one and the same. Again, I say the Republicans need to do a lot of soul searching. How can they word their platform in such a way that it CLEARLY BENEFITS all Americans. The Republicans have a big problem. Very big, and I'm not sure they can overcome the problem by November.

There are easily as much or more wealthy supporting obastard in the demoncratic party. In fact, a good many assholes who into politics poor on the demoncrat side are now multimillionaires themselves. Same with the other side.

You want obastard care. Great. Wait untill the iron fist of government healthcare swings into action. ALL who are "too old or infirm" will not have healthcare because a government system has to only cover those with the ability to add to the financial side of society. That means your son will not get the care that he has now.... and neither will I.

You who are attracted to the something for nothing promises of this system will have a rude awakening one of these days. No? Then look at any government healthcare system in the world. It is impossible to treat the chronically ill and get a return on the investment, so that is how they will look at it. With obastard stealing 716 billion from Medicare right out of the box those with their eyes open can see what is in store for them. Only a fool would bite on this regimes promises, for they are all lies.

Nothing in this life is free,,,l especially nothing that the government promises you will be free. Not so? Ask the Indians or the Veterans how they keep their word.

He who receives a prophet receives that prophets reward. Believing the propaganda and lies of the media left will take everything from you in the end. All of America is the 1%...... even the so called poor who live like the kings in third world nations. obastard wants you to support his Utopian society, bat as always, it is oppression disguised as charity. It relies on the greed of the shill, just as with any con game.
