The White Working Class Represents 40 percent of the national electorate

[Sawbriars]

Yet the fat cat, east coast, liberal and politically correct big boys who have a death grip on the Republican Party continues to attempt to ignore this group because they fear them....in fact as has been pointed out before---obviously they had rather keep foisting losing candidates on the Party rather than accommodate the White Working Class....the only group with the numbers to win a Presidential Election and the possible motivation to vote republican if they are treated fairly by the Republican Party which has never paid them more than lip service.

This stupidity of the Republican Party Big Wigs coupled with dis-information from the major media has kept the majority of the Republican Party mainstream clueless and confused as is evident on this board....truly pathetic. aka the stupidity of believing they need to accomdate minorities in the vain hope of attracting some of that vote....the essense of stupidity which will lead to another defeat if continued to be followed.

Why do the 'Handlers' of the Republican Party fear the White Working Class? Simply because they think they are tooooooooooo extremist and if given power they would relegate the fat cat, east coast republicans to the sideline.....which is obviously where these losers belong. Conservative Republicans desperately need to understand this....sideline the moderate and liberal elements of the Republican Party or confine the Republican Party to the dustbin of history...that is the choice. Many are beginning to understand that.


Henry Olsen draws on Andrew Levison’s new book on the white working class to analyze how conservatives ought to think about this constituency, which represents 40 percent of the national electorate..................................................

You would think with whites making up 70% of the country the number would be higher.

Still, the middle class and the poor, along with blacks and Hispanics and, well, you know. These are the groups Republicans like to screw over. And yet, so many of the "screw-ease" seem to love it. Go figure.

They Should Just Focus on White Voters


For two decades, from 1972 to 1992, the Democratic Party agonized over its loss of support among whites, especially those in the working class. Over the next two decades, from the election of Bill Clinton in 1992 to the re-election of Barack Obama in 2012, the party slowly came to terms with its loss and learned how to win the presidency with a minority of white voters.

Now the white vote has become a Republican problem. White voters only cast 72 percent of all votes in the Obama-Romney election of 2012 compared to 87 percent in the Nixon-McGovern contest in 1972 mainly because Romney did not appeal to Whites enough for them to get out and vote...tooooo many stayed home. The republican party must face up to the fact it has a 'white problem' not a 'minority problem'.....in order to win the Republicans must boost turnout rates among whites to record levels...the only way to do this is to accommodate the White Working Class(the only group with the numbers needed to win and the motivation to vote republican if treated right).....and they will never get the huge numbers of White Votes they need with a liberal/politically correct moderate candidate aka John McCain, Bob Dole, Romeny etc. and so on and so forth.

The debate within the Republican Party on this fraught topic has provoked new levels of over-the-top rhetoric among the old guard on the farther right side of the Republican spectrum.

Phyllis Schlafly, a conservative anti-feminist, declared in a radio interview on May 24:


"The people the Republicans should reach out to are the white working class votes — the white voters who didn’t vote in the last election. And there are millions of them. And I think when you have an establishment-run nomination system, they give us a series of losers, which they’ve given us with Dole, and McCain, and Romney."


Not to be outdone, as he rarely is, Pat Buchanan wrote in the American Conservative on June 14:


What are the Republicans doing? Going back on their word, dishonoring their platform and enraging their loyal supporters, who gave Mitt 90 percent of his votes, to pander to a segment of the electorate that gave Mitt less than 5 percent of his total votes? Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.

Buchanan and Schlafly thrive on a willingness to say — without regard to appearances — what others privately think but don’t want to be caught saying openly.........



Timothy Carney, a columnist for the Washington Examiner,( definitely should be listened to by anyone who wants to adopt a winning strategy for the republican party)...... who makes the case for an anti-elite Republican Party, a “free-market populism and a Republican Party that fights against all forms of political privilege — a party that champions all who want to work and take risks in order to improve their lives and raise a family” ....in a nutshell....the sort of populism that made Teddy Roosevelt and Huey P. Long --charismatic candidates able to win elections.

Yes I said Huey P. Long aka the "Kingfish" who understood the White Working Class better than any politician in History.....and of who FDR said ...."was the most dangerous man in the country"...why did FDR say that? because the elites.................republicans and democrats fear the White Working Class and with good cause--the White Working Class if it is able to attain political power will transform America....and make it truly a Nation of by and for the White Working class.....and they would also insure any members of the minoritiy working classes would get a fair deal if they want to work and contribute to America instead of continuing to be parasitic in nature depending on the Federal Government.

Understandably and Predictably the fat cat, east coast, politically correct elitist..... Karl Rove, the Republican strategist ---who needs no introduction, argues in the Wall Street Journal that “the nonwhite share of the vote will keep growing” and that if “the G.O.P. leaves nonwhite voters to the Democrats, then its margins in safe congressional districts and red states will dwindle — not overnight, but over years and decades.”

Karl Rove the elitist, fat cat, east coast politically correct republican big wig........... says that because he fears the White Working Class....as damn well as he should. We would toss his ass out...and put him at the rear of the bus along with his running dogs.

The White Working Class wants a better deal...a much better deal than the karl roves have to offer....in fact all the Republican Party has ever offered the White Working Class is lip service.....The White Working Class wants good paying jobs, they want their children to be able to attend college, they want senior citizens to be able to live comfortably and with dignity, they want someone that is tough on crime...particularly black crime. They want our Big Cities to be safe once again....they want to be able walk down the street at night without fear of being a victim of some criminal thug. They want their children to be safe in school. They want to bring back the Neighborhood School System that was an outstanding example of agood educational system. They want the Federal Government removed from our schools. They want teachers to be safe in their classrooms....remember when the students feared the teachers instead of the way it is now with the teachers fearing the students. They want their right to bear arms protected. They want their religion and moral values and culture respected. All that and more.

If the Republican Party does not want to wither and die they will listen to the White Working Class....the key to victory.

Well, just one issue of what the white working class wants puts them at odds with the present GOP mentality. And that is a just wage for their work. The present GOP will never go for that. Cuts into the profits for the billionaires. And the stupid fucks wonder why the average age of the craftsmen that the industry depends on is so high, almost into the SS category.
