The Republican party cannot remain the party of angry white conservatives and hope to not just win elections but survive. Originally Posted by BigLouie

Collectively, they seem to find great comfort sharing their prejudices!

Whirlaway, without insults, without insulting names, my answer is that your question suffers from faulty reasoning. You feel that because the news is not being reported the way you want it then it must not be honest. A better question would be, if the media had focused on topics you considered important would the results have been different. Personally I do not think so.

Some facts, did you know that if Reagan had won the same percentages of the ethnic groups and run against Carter the race would have been a virtual dead-heat.

You thing that to me is becoming clear is that various ethnic groups do not put as much importance on some events as conservatives do. And you cannot say that anyone viewpoint is more correct or important than the other, it just is.

Therefore the changing of the ethnic mix in the US is going to have a long term effect on who gets elected and what points are important to those voting. The Republican party cannot remain the party of angry white conservatives and hope to not just win elections but survive. And it has nothing to do with the claim the media is not being honest.

Just because they are not reporting on what you want them to means the focus has shifted. There is no right or wrong. There just is. Originally Posted by BigLouie

Maybe it'd be better stated as "the party of angry white conservatives who can't get none at home and won't come out of their mama's basement."
We're living in a fantasy world?

Dude, you are living in a world of denial!

Newsflash: The election is over!

. . . President Obama won the election fair and square and the world is better off for it, but dummies like you just can't see the truth even when it's as plain as the nose on your face!

The media’s treatment of Watergate needs no explanation here. The press detested Richard Nixon unlike any modern president. Originally Posted by Whirlaway

Nixon's economic Policy:
1971 - Nixon ended the gold standard and put us on a fiat monetary system1971 - After taking the United States off the gold standard,[3] Nixon was quoted as saying "I am now a Keynesian in economics"
Nixon became the first president to submit a budget based on “the high-employment standard,” which meant the country would spend as if it were at full employment to bring about full employment, thus justifying an “acceptable” amount of deficit spending.
Nixon announced in August 1971 what he called the New Economic Policy (N.E.P.) which balanced U.S. domestic concerns with wage and price controls and international ones devaluing the dollar.

Nixon's foreign Policy:
1969 - Nixon enters peace negotiations with North Viet Nam
1970 - Nixon negotiates permanent deal with USSR not to use Cienfuegos (Cuba) for ballistic missile Submarines
1972 - Nixon enters into successful SALT talks with USSR to reduce nuclear weapons
1973 - Nixon withdraws thousands of troops from VietNam, ends draft.
1973 - Nixon agrees with the USSR to negotiate a peace protecting Israel and ending the war.
Nixon also visited China, defusing tensions with that country, and opening trade with communists.

Nixon's Domestic Policy

1970 - Nixon creates the EPA, seeks and passes Clean Water legislation, creates OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), requires all federal agencies to comply with National Environmental Protection Act, requiring environmental impact statements.
1970 - Nixon pushes school desegregation, creating the Philadelphia Plan, the first federal affirmative action program. (Nixon ends up appointing more women to office than LBJ)
1970 - Nixon endorses the Equal Rights Amendment as a constitutional amendment
1971 - Nixon installs price and wage freeze, stopping rampant inflation
1973 - Nixon advocated universal health-care for all Americans in an address to Congress

None of that would fly today with the Republican House. Nixon would be run out of the Republican Party today as a RINO. Plain fact.

Read it, Assup. I posted I would like to SEE BigTurd on fire, I DID NOT say I want to SET BigTurd on fire. You accused me of wanting to SET BigTurd on fire, which is an obvious lie. You repeating the lie does not make it the truth. Sorry. Continually lying about me is one of the reasons you were elected . . .
