GOP to spend $10 million on outreach to ethnic groups

Republicans will spend $10 million this year in outreach to Hispanic, Asian and African-American
voters, GOP chairman Reince Priebus said Sunday.

"We have become a party that parachutes into communities four months before elections," Priebus
said on CBS' Face the Nation. In contrast, he said, "the Obama campaign lived in these communities
for years. The relationships were deep. They were authentic.''

So will the republican party stop paying people like Nathan Sproul who works on purging
voter rolls of minority and likely democratic voters, or setting up phony voter registration
tables where the people think they getting signed up to be able to vote but in reality they
are not becoming registered voters, or having people like Ohio's current Sec. of State, Jon
Husted working 24/7 to make it harder for minority voters to vote, or Gerrymandering
districts so even though the majority of the population votes democratic the congressional
seats remain republican? (in Ohio we went solidly for Obama and for Sen. Brown by 6 points
statewide but only 4 of the 16 congressional districts are held by Democrats)


10 million seems like a lot of money but that is far less then the republicans will spend
in trying to stop "those colored folks" from voting.



a cute little sign put up by the republicans in Cleveland last fall .... Did Preibus say word one
about that sign? Hell no.

2. You nailed it

Not a word about voter suppression or targeted voter ID.

3. I'll give them credit for at least recognizing the need for a wider base,

although all this charade really is is for them to be able to claim to middle-of-the-road voters that they're not bigots since they "tried" to reach out to us. We all know this is a waste of money because the GOP doesn't want to do what is necessary to get more of us into their camp (I.E. moderating their policies and dropping the Southern Strategy).
Republicans want to try selling us the same generic cereal with a prettier-looking box.
