USA Today: Who speaks for the GOP? "We cannot be a party of balding white guys,"

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2009-06-09-poll-parties_N.htm



The question flummoxes most Americans, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, which is among the reasons for the party's sagging state and uncertain direction.

A 52% majority of those surveyed couldn't come up with a name when asked to specify "the main person" who speaks for Republicans today. Of those who could, the top response was radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh (13%), followed in order by former vice president Dick Cheney, Arizona Sen. John McCain and former House speaker Newt Gingrich. Former president George W. Bush ranked fifth, at 3%.

So the dominant faces of the Republican Party are all men, all white, all conservative and all old enough to join AARP, ranging in age from 58 (Limbaugh) to 72 (McCain). They include some of the country's most strident voices on issues from Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court to President Obama's policies at home and abroad. Two are retired from politics, and one has never been a candidate.

"We cannot be a party of balding white guys," says former Republican Party national chairman Ed Gillespie, a White House counselor for George W. Bush. "We have to have a broader appeal, but there's time for us to make that change."

Of course, in order to keep peace with the balding white guys, you're going to have to make all the broads you're appealing to made up to look like . . . well, balding white guys.

who are pumped up on Viagra while they cower at home and shoot off their fat, selfish faces.

I can't.

No wonder they're panicked on the right.

at least. Remember this photo of the white guys who were signing an anti-abortion bill? That's the face of the Republican party and this photo is them at the absolute height of their power. Their war was on, Patriot Act was on, illegal wiretapping was on, torture was really on, and their tax cuts were in full swing.

go figger.....

:rofl:

Tellin truths and gettin jiggy to Steeles Scratch track. They have all been instructed on how to wear their Jimmyhats. And now they will all do the Rove dance. They will have all the appeal of drunk uncle harry at the wedding. The Denny's crowd is the only one that will not die laughing. I love that they are the party of Empathizing on our asses{sociopaths one and all}.

You may have some pull with balding white STUPID guys, or fascists or psychos, but that's about it...

Your "time to make that change"...was about 30 years ago and you blew it.
You lost, and you will keep losing.

You aren't even conservatives anymore. Just whores who will never get 'cool' because if you have to ask...
