RNC Report Finds Voters Think GOP Is 'Scary'

[Circe]

Flat fact: until we GOP reach out to women and Hispanics honestly, and cut the social traditionalists and neocons loose, we will continue to lose nationally.

I'm thinking the best strategy for the GOP might be to become as Libertarian as they possibly can -- just incorporate the Libertarian Party.

Because libertarianism does mind its own business, which is the main problem with the social issues. And they want small government, which is compatible, to some extent.

I do think huge numbers of people are ready for libertarianism, and the more the GOP could soak up of that philosophy, the more recovery they could make. But they would have to give up all the minding other people's business, at home and abroad.

Perhaps, as long as the party is socially liberal and economically conservative (not economically libertarian).

I need to read up on Libertarianism more. I have the Boaz and the Murray books.

That's because at least in this country, old white men are the only truly rich people, thus have all the clout politically.

No, that's older women: we inherit it all.

The statistics are clear on that. There are more of us, we vote more, we have more money, we have more jobs, and we have more advanced degrees.

Hey, good move forcing us out of the GOP! That'll really be an election winner..........

The Republican National Committee (RNC) released its wide-ranging "autopsy" report on Monday, admitting some of its shortcomings after losing the 2012 presidential election.

Coined the Growth and Opportunity Project, the document includes market research from voter focus groups around the country.

"Asked to describe Republicans, they said that the Party is 'scary,' 'narrow minded,' and 'out of touch' and that we were a Party of 'stuffy old men.' This is consistent with the findings of other post-election surveys," the report states.

Hours before the report was live, RNC Chair Reince Priebus leveled about the GOP's struggles in an interview on CBS' "Face The Nation," telling host Bob Schieffer that the party did a "lousy job" of marketing itself.

RNC Growth And Opportunity Project Report: Voters See GOP As 'Scary,' 'Narrow Minded'

What a crock of DOG SHIT.....

The gig is up libroid. The story is out that all this "SCAREY" stuff is coming STRAIGHT OUT OF YOUR CAMP. You concocted the whole fucking story, so the only people buying it at this point are morons and low information voters. We the people that are informed and have minds independent of your GARBAGE and CONCOCTED STORIES are just LAUGHING at you. The horse is dead libroid. Time to find a new angle.

And those women tend to vote Republican.

The GOP has finally figured out it has a messaging problem and is trying to correct it. Two tiny problems so far:

1. There are still many in the party who are somehow confusing "better messaging" with "complete capitulation of our values" and continue to fight the notion that loony absolutism is a bad idea, and

2. Those people still have microphones

Outside of that, the party's doing just great.

.

It's not the messaging, it's the message.

It's like a guy that keeps going on dates, but the dates leave him halfway through...usually with a slap on the face or a drink down his front.

So what does the guy do? Gets new clothes and some new aftershave...and still gets slapped. It's still the old douche under the new clothes.

Bingo! Post of the thread.

Either the GOP disconnects from the social traditionalists and neocon imperialists and reaches out a socially liberal and economically conservative message to Hispanics and women, or it will remain a minority party.

Truer words have never been spoken.

 

[MarcATL]

I agree that the GOP has become very, very scary and I was a life-long Republican till 2006.

It's that to be a Republican we are coerced and castigated into defending grotesquely immoral and impractical behaviors and ideas:

-- that we should engage in ten-year forever wars in sandpit hellholes on the other side of the planet of no conceivable national interest.

-- that these wars should not be real wars but social-work wars where we never, never really fight and win, just stay there losing and building up a huge deficit as we borrow trillions of dollars from China for the war.

-- to be a Republican we all have to support and cheer on torture. Torture 'em all! That's the patriotic way! I am old enough to remember when Americans were the people too noble to torture............I couldn't make that fast switch.

-- to be a Republican we all have to totally support Herman Cain and say that it's just FINE, FINE, I tell you, that he groped every blond woman under the table while they ate dinners with him at restaurants that he insisted on for them to ask for a job. And it was FINE, just FINE that he had a 15-year mistress and his wife wouldn't campaign for him.

-- to be a Republican we have to want Newt Gringrich and his unhappy harem -- HOW many wives is he up to by now? all in the White House as a model for how men are supposed to act toward their sundry assorted wives.

-- to be a Republican we all have to be antiwomen. Be in favor of rape and vote for senatorial candidates who show obvious support for rapists. Being antiwomen could be hard for me, a woman.

-- to be a Republican we have to want to immediately make war on Iran and North Korea and Pakistan and and and ---- Nuke 'em all!

-- to be a Republican I am supposed to believe that abortion is murder and women who have an abortion or miscarry should be tried for murder. And support all the Republican state legislatures that promote laws like that.

-- to be a Republican I have to totally support the NRA and all the crazies who buy assault rifles to kill lots of students, because it's so very important to our Constitutional Freedoms that we all be able to shoot however many people at the mall or high school we want to shoot.


No. Just ------- no. These people -- nearly all men by now since we women Republicans left -- are mean and crazy, and I'm out.

WoW!!

OK, correction: THIS is the post of the thread.

 

[Stephanie]

ok, so the word from the libs on the board is that Republicans should be more like their party and put people in groups so they pander to them, so much for that we are equal crap...and that the social issue of marriage and abortion is more important than jobs, being able to care for your families without being taxed to death, etc etc

did I get that right?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

It is not OK for old white men (or any group of men) to tell women what to do with their bodies.

I'm guessing they don't have that "problem".....

....at home.

"Asked to describe Republicans, they said that the Party is 'scary,' 'narrow minded,' and 'out of touch' and that we were a Party of 'stuffy old men.'

The reason people said that is that the R party IS 'scary,' 'narrow minded,' and 'out of touch' and that we were a Party of 'stuffy old men.'

The Rs don't see it that way and all you have to do is listen to them talk to see they have no intention of changing.

Excellent post Circe and we see the same thing here. The R is anti-people, anti-America, anti-everything except the wealthy.

right, and the Democrats aren't filled with stuffy old men and women who are narrow minded, Pelosi, Biden, etc etc... but hey, they are saintly old people I guess and the Democrat don't need a change at all

See? This is the problem with you Stephanie, there's simply no self-reflection, no self-thought, no self-responsibility, no self...anything. All you have to offer is attacks, bashing, insults and deflection. Every. single. time.

How old are you Stephanie? And this is a serious question. I just turned 37 myself last Thursday.

Its not the RNC's fault its the liberals fault...or the medias fault....or minorities fault....or

I know...right?

what's sad is you only see and speak of yourself as genitals and a uterus..
my gawd the stupid

Reread that part, child. I am saying I'd like Republican males to stop thinking of women -- including you -- as only genitals and uteri to be controlled by them. Women are people, we can and must mind our OWN business, and we are winning. Don't get in the way of that: it would be bad for you, too, if men took back control of women.

I don't even think you understand what you're typing.

On average, White women tend to be more socially liberal than minority women. Yet, almost consistently, Republicans tend to win White women while Democrats win minority women. Indeed, in presidential elections, issues like abortion tend to be a net gain for Republicans, mainly because it pulls more women towards the GOP than there otherwise would be. Now I realize this doesn't fit into your whole narrative, but facts are stubborn things. If Republicans have a "problem with women", it's not due to abortion; it's a racial divide issue that has nothing to do with abortion.

...By the way, only for the sake of correctness, on average men are more supportive of abortion than are women. It's not the other way around.

Really? That sounds like a bunch of hokum. Can you provide some credible links to that information please?

What you did not get is the truth that the GOP message of social traditionalist and neocon imperialists has failed.

No. The Republicans need to drive out all the RINOs (they get to define what is a RINO) and go far far right. This is what the Republicans should do. Listen to CPAC. They know how the Republicans should do.

That'll work.

Look at the great results they got in 2012, after all. Surely more of the same will be............


Well, more of the same.

well why not, the Democrats have driven out all the moderate blue dog Democrats and have went so far left they are now socialist and some Commies

but hey, that is what you people seem to like, a party who tell you are special over others and can't get by without them..you can all be Obama's Julias

What their fellow extremists once called "Purges". Should the Republicans 'purge' their party of all but ideologues, their political fate will be determined: relugated to minority status for a generation or more.
