That danged bell...
 

From Pat Buchanan, a favorite pundit of certain posters here...

Has the bell begun to toll for the GOP?

Eighteen states, including four of the seven mega-states – California,
New York, Illinois and Pennsylvania – have gone Democratic in six
straight elections. Two others, Florida and Ohio, have gone Democratic
twice in a row. And white folks are now a minority in the last
mega-state, Texas.

In Ohio, which produced seven Republican presidents, more than any other
state, Republicans are dropping out, and may be dying out.

“Eight years ago, blacks and whites voted at about the same rate (in
Ohio),” write Balz and Mellnik. In 2008, “the participation rate for
whites dropped to 65 percent, while the rate for blacks rose to 70
percent. Last November, the turnout rate among whites fell to 62
percent, while the rate for blacks ticked up to 72 percent.”

From these Census figures, white folks are losing interest in politics
and voting. Yet, whites still constitute three-fourths of the electorate
and nine in 10 Republican votes.

Query: Is the way to increase the enthusiasm and turnout among this
three-fourths of the electorate for the GOP to embrace amnesty and a
path to citizenship for 12 million illegal foreign aliens?

Or is it to demand the sealing of America’s borders against any and all
intruders?

Just asking.

Old Pat wants to revive the GOP's southern strategy of "white first,
everyone else, step out of line."

Is there a future for the party of Herring and Flajim?
