So they figure if they put a few layers of veneer over their bigoted white male selves they can have a shiny new party.

Apparently the Republican Party is getting their business plan from the people who run Carnival Cruise Lines. You can't get people to sign up for your cruises when your ships aren't seaworthy, no matter how attractively you package the deal.

Our message was weak;

Your message wasn't week, it was crap.

* Set up an "RNC Celebrity Task Force of personalities in the entertainment industry" to attract young voters, and encourage Republican leaders to "participate in and actively prepare for interviews" on the Daily Show, the Colbert Report and other media aimed toward younger Americans

I'm surprised by this because it already essentially exists. The Cato Institute, for one example, sends out "experts" to give out conservative talking points. I guess this will increase the numbers and they can talk up the Repub Party specifically rather than just the policies they're paid to advance.

Here's a thought: Maybe stop sponsoring ALEC-promoted legislation that is guaranteed to alienate the same voter demographics you keep claiming to want so badly?

Oh, there I go again with my silly logic and sense making...

First, deal with the "“I didn't know the legacy of the Republican Party included women correcting men in public.” types. Get rid of the haters who think slavery meant 'free room and board'. Lose the gun fanatics. Stop treating corporations like people and people like resources. That's the barest beginning.
