TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — At a recent meeting, the Tampa Bay Young Republicans recited the Pledge of Allegiance, prayed and then tackled the night's topic: marijuana.

Their guest? Personal injury lawyer John Morgan, a huge Democratic Party donor campaigning to legalize medical marijuana in Florida. Months earlier, the same group supported a Supreme Court opinion that was a victory for gay marriage advocates even as Republican leaders insisted marriage should be between only a man and a woman.

The group illustrates a growing generational divide in the GOP as younger Republicans increasingly break rank from the establishment on social issues.

Unlikely they will "split".

More likely, they will "change" the GOP. It's in desperate need of changing.

Yep the bitter old depends wearing crowd is on its last leg, now with the younger generation they can change their name back from the white christian party back to the republican party

 

[The Rabbi]

No, no. The meme is "All Republicans think alike and vote in lockstep." Get it right.

 

[rdean]

No, no. The meme is "All Republicans think alike and vote in lockstep." Get it right.

Today's GOP is 90% white. I think you summed it up nicely.

Well tell that to the OP who is pushing the "The GOP is in open warfare with itself" meme. They can't both be true.
Democrats are 87% white so I dont see much difference.

That is exactly true. So they push contradictory ideas with no sense of irony. Bush was the dumbest president ever who put one over on every Democrat in Congress when they voted for the Iraq war. Republicans vote in lockstep and never disagree while they tear their party apart. Bush's Iraq surge was a dismal failure while Obama's afghan surge was a great success.
They simply dont care about the truth. It's all about spreading the worst information/lies/propaganda they can to beat the GOP.

Because young people arent falling for their doom and gloom stories about marriage or weed.

Just leave people alone and you'll be fine

Wrong again. Getting to be a habit with your RWers.

Democrats Racially Diverse; Republicans Mostly White

It's called DESPERATION. The libtards see November coming and they know they're in for one hell of an ass kicking at the polls, and if it's one thing a leftard progressive HATES, it's to LOSE THEIR GRIP ON POWER. THEY want to be the ones to DICTATE what THEY think is best for everyone, because they're so much SMARTER than everyone else, and if you don't believe that, then JUST ASK THEM, and they'll TELL you how smart they.

Fucking sickening bastards, and people are getting sick of their shit.

 

[Katzndogz]

Democrats have an abundance of leeches, mostly minorities who came here from foreign countries specifically to leech.

No matter which side wins, this nation is pretty much done.

 

[whitehall]

When a republican faction asks a democrat to speak at a conference does it mean the republican faction endorsed the democrat party agenda? It does if you believe everything Huffington throws at you. How ludicrous.

 

[Stephanie]

You love how they act all shocked because people who are Republican don't walk in Lockstep with the party?

They expect them to be like them...they march in Lockstep to anything the Democrat party does...it' requires no thinking or effort to be led around

 

[Siete]

No, no. The meme is "All Republicans think alike and vote in lockstep." Get it right.

so when do you start drooling about the blacks and latinos voting strictly democrat

— in a shift that also is reflected in national polls. Students are increasingly turned off by politics, and by the Democratic Party.

Domestic spying by the government, the technological incompetence demonstrated in the launch of the Obama health care marketplace, the continued weakness in the economy — all have conspired to undermine Democrats’ big advantage among young voters, ages 18 to 29, according to specialists.

In a detailed, national poll released last month by Harvard’s Institute of Politics, nearly half of young voters said they would recall President Obama if they could. Only 41 percent approved of the job Obama was doing, an 11-point drop from six months earlier.

It’s a trend line that top Democrats are worried about...

From the article:

They believed government could do good, and big, things. And in droves they volunteered, campaigned, and voted for Democrats by margins that had not been seen before, both in 2008 and 2012.

But surveys show that the electorate’s newest generation is disappointed by government’s performance.

Obama is only part of the government. Clearly, they don't understand GOP obstructionism. If they want something done, they need to stay away from Kim Kardashian and find out what John Boehner and Eric Cantor are doing.
