these results kind of tells you where the republican party is heading when our generation takes power... cool
In what way are you talking about? Are you saying the Repubs are gonna be the dominant party b/c the Repubs won in this survey of 69 people 46%-30% AND 60% said they don't want the gov't getting into their wallets?
Or do you think the Repub part is gonna drop the pro-life platform b/c 54% of the people in this survey voted pro-choice as opposed to the 46% that said pro-life? THose #s pretty much mirror the rest of the country.
I think it would be a mistake for the Repubs to get rid of the pro-life platform at this time b/c lets face it, the Christian Coalition and Religious Right is the Repub Party base and they make up about 1/3 or so of the party. If we piss them off, most of them will create their own little third party and we will all be screwed. Kinda like what Ralph Nader did to the Dems in 2000.
THe thing I think the Repubs NEED to do is to outreach to BLack and Hispanic voters. BUsh has done it w/ Hispanics but not African-Americans quite yet.
Most of them are socially conservative, but don't have alot of money right now. If we had an agenda that built up the inner city w/ alotta investment and Black peopel started making about the same amount as White people do, taxes are gonna piss them off and they will be more open to the Repub party. We also need to improve inner city schools. If Black peopel go even 25% Repub, the Dems are screwed!
