| If demographics is destiny, the Republican Party has a rendezvous with irrelevance — unless its policies change. This is the message some Republican leaders have been sending in the closing weeks of the presidential campaign. “The demographics race we’re losing badly,” Senator Lindsey Graham recently told the Washington Post with characteristic bluntness. “We’re not generating enough angry white guys to stay in business for the long term.” The numbers tell the tale. Minorities have accounted for 85 percent of the country’s population growth over the past decade, according to the US Census Bureau. A record 24 million Hispanics

If Lindsay Graham made that comment about angry white guys, he is a big part of the problem. The solution is to convince the hard working and family oriented citizens of all races that rampant socialism is not in their best interest.

Agree w/ #2. And once Obama is off the scene will blacks continue to vote 96% for the Democrat? Latinos will follow the pattern of immigrant Italians IMO, and eventually split between the two parties.

He certainly is right, the Republican party is not generating enough Makers, and we will soon be overrun by the Takers. Then we will all GoGalt - and let's see what happens then.

The GOP doesn't need to look to Lindsey Graham for answers. The GOP might insist on educating the public in the constitution and capitalism, rather than marxism.

Lindsey Graham says? You HAVE to be joking! Lindsey Graham and his undercover boss, John McCain, are two of the biggest offenders of mealy-mouthism. They are masters of Political Correctness, and that PC includes treating black people with a reverence similar to that given the Pope. Not daring to be an 'angry white guy' even cost McCain the presidency, placing the evil one in our Oval Office.

Back to rehab with you , Lindsey Lograham. This guy, like Biden, is a perfect example of why more and more people are advocating for term limits. He (like Mcain) spends three years on call as David Gregory's GOP stooge and the fourth year fooling SC voters into believing that he'd a conservative.

Just saw a poll of Hispanic voters in Florida. Only 44% plan to vote for Obama. Doesn't look like they plan to rendezvous with Socialism after all. However, I am worried about Allen West winning his race for re-election. If we had even 6 black congressmen (or women), the black vote would not be such a lock any more for the Dems.

Lindsay Graham is not a "top Republican" as so many in the media like to call him. He might get some sound bytes, but he's one of those folks you have to "work around" and the newer class of GOPer is doing just that.

The GOP has a Doofus RINO Problem. Exhibit A: Lindsey Graham.
Unlike the black population (sad, but true), the GOP can definitely win a huge share, and possibly eventually a majority of the Hispanic population. They share many of America's traditional values: nuclear family, Christian beliefs, hard work, etc. Those of us who live among large Hispanic populations know and come to respect such families. In time, they too will vote with us.

Let's say for one minute, the writer is correct in what was predicted. The GOP withers away due to it's unwillingness to compromise it's basic principles of conservatism and tradition. It doesn't take someone who spent three years in the third grade to see just what would happen to this nation were that to happen. All one has to do is witness the travails of Kalifornia. That will be the future for every state that remians in the Union.

NO! The GOP does not have demographics problem. What the GOP has is an EDUCATION problem.
These minorities etc are democrats ONLY because the democrats have managed to convince them that they will take care of them and that republicans really really dont like you.
In fact, if the American electorate was actually TAUGHT and not indoctrinated on economics, business, law and foreign affairs, democrats would never win another election outside of Berkely.

My thanks to the many Ldotters who beat me to it, including OP. I had to jump on this one, because it is ONLY the lying media, the lying professors in academia, and the lying Hollywood elite who are the cause of minorities continually voting against their own self-interests.
Conservatism is their salvation. Cultural renewal is their rescue. Returning to the true God is the only way forward to peace, prosperity, justice, genuine brotherhood.
There is no such thing as Compassionate Liberalism or Compassionate Progressivism or Compassionate Marxism.

The Lindsey Grahams and John McCains have the problem, they live in the past, they think they are in control of the GOP, and they fail to recognize the grass roots efforts and sensibilities of the TEA party members who are filling the lower ranks of the GOP, and starting to work our way up.
They think they can pat us on the head and say, "there there, don't worry your pretty little head about the big boy things" and we will just tuck our tails between our legs and go lay in a corner and keep our mouths shut.
Well, it is rapidly becoming apparent that we are beginning to outnumber them, and if they don't get with the program, we might just leave them behind.

FTA " Minorities have accounted for 85 percent of the country’s population growth over the past decade, according to the US Census Bureau."
Almost all of whom are immigrants or their children. So what does the GOP leadership do when in power? Why, open borders of course: effectively a blind eye to illegal immigration. And more and more legal immigration. And more and more compassionate welfare programs for immigrants.
Anyone see signs of insanity with these policies?

Whatever communications problems the conservatives in the GOP may have had in the past are now being corrected through the facts, stats and America's lessons learned from history found readily available on conservative talk radio, the internet & FOX! ...And never misunderestimate the common sense and passion for freedom of the American people! Enough of us still do know & cherish the principles of liberty are uniquely secured in our U.S. Constitution and we intend to keep it that way with our votes!
But the dem's problem is apparently insurmountable because their tactics and policies conflict with both the Constitution AND the sensibilities of the American people. Lefty/lib radical activist statist clones & drones of liberalism have taken over that party and they are marching to a different drummer! The 0bama's even have the audacity to brag about getting their radical personal agenda, ''around,'' the U.S. Congress!?!!! Has such Presidential disrespect for the elected representatives of the American voters ever been exhibited before? Outrageous!
America loves liberty and hates tyranny!

Whether Mitt Romney becomes the 45th president or not, Politico's Jonathan Martin insists that the Republican Party is on the verge of a looming crisis. Sticking with the same overgeneralized racist narrative, it is basically a 'fact' at this point that the GOP's conservative ideology and a lack of diversity will ultimately lead to its downfall. Conversely, the Democratic Party is poised to dominate in future elections. Nevermind that we heard this before in 2006 and 2008, with Clinton acolyte James Carville forecasted 40 years in the wilderness for the GOP. No, Martin insists that demography is destiny,

President Obama’s big rally tonight turned out to be just like his first, opening salvo of the 2012 campaign: a half-empty arena in Ohio. According toRealClearPolitics’ Scott Conroy, there were “empty seats scattered around the upper-level of Nationwide Arena … Four years ago, after all, Obama was easily filling venues larger than that …” The event even featured Bruce Springsteen and Jay-Z, and Obama still couldn’t fill it out. As it turns out, the empty seats didn’t look exactly “scattered.” They looked like substantial portions of the upper bowl of the arena, according to photos tweeted by those in attendance:

Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday struggled to draw 1,000 people at two campaign events in Colorado, one of the most important swing states this election. Republicans in Colorado have said they have not seen this much enthusiasm for the top of a Republican ticket in a decade, which is a contrast from Democrats, who are seeing a diminished level of enthusiasm from 2008. At an event in Englewood, Colorado, Biden's crowd "fell just short of a thousand people"--while an event with Romney drew 18,000--and another Biden event drew 1,200 in Pueblo, Colorado.

Today, speaking in Concord, New Hampshire, trying to look bipartisan, Barack Obama made this incredible statement: “As long as I’m president, I’ll work with anybody.” He can’t be serious. For a start, let’s take a look at immigration reform. In June of this year, Sen. John McCain, who has always championed bipartisanship, said bitterly: “This idea that this president or his people reached out to me is patently false. To somehow allege that I didn’t somehow respond to their overtures, that’s patently false. That’s their narrative, and I understand their narrative, but it’s not substantiated by the facts.”

The Illinois Republican party claims early and absentee voting has precipitously fallen since the 2008 presidential election. According to the numbers, at this point in 2008, there were 260,376 early voters and 304,290 absentee voters. Now, the party maintains, there are 195,064 early voters and 46,232 absentee voters. That's a loss of 57 percent of voters, since the last election. This, the Illinois Republican party says, is a terrible sign for Democrats. "Chicago is the heart and soul of the Democratic Party," says Illinois Republican party chair Pat Brady. "You can't get much more solid blue than Chicago

I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
