[quote=Anonymous]Dem here.

I dont think the party (GOP) needs to turn its back on the most conservative aspect of their base anymore than we as dems need to do the same with the most liberal. I think that the extreme's on both of our sides make the loudest noise and while I find it annoying sometimes because Im not some ultra lefty, it is what it is.

The primary issue with the GOP to me is the slice of the extreme block of the party who are the racists, bigots, anti-gay etc. Again, Im speaking of a slice of the party. In any event, the party caters to them way too much as if their numbers are larger than what they really are.

Lastly, the party's overall view and sentiments on the poor or most needy needs a big reality check. Romney's 47% remarks highlights how backward thinking the party see the poor and needy. This was true before the comments and they only confirmed this sentiment.

If you lay out conservative issues and ideas and not attach a name of someone to them, people can be drawn to the message. Whoever works on "marketing" this message alienates a large block of people with their subliminal racism, incorrect representation on the poor, and other groups.

As a black man for example, the party can easily cut into the 90% of blacks who vote democrat if they didnnt spend their time catering and sucking up to the racist elements of the party. They will never get 50% or anything like that but cutting that number down to 80% can mean a huge difference.
