re: Another Liberal implies a GOP member is a Racist.

Chris,

My first reaction is Yawn, but you are correct.

Ramesh Ponnuru in National Review talked about this topic a couple of years ago. His point was to encourage conservatives to reach out and pitch the conservative message to minorities.

This forces the left has to respond to the conservative message instead of demonizing conservatives. When minorities see the real difference then minority voting for leftists falls off. I don't know what sort of outreach goes on in Milwaukee, but think of it.

Without any outreach, minorities hear only one message that boils down to "vote for a conservative and be put back into slavery". If the conservatives start to reach out then the left has to respond to message of school choice for example, and that is a fight they lose.

Grrrr,

Was all pumped to go skiing today but by the time we determined the temp was close enough to somewhat comfortable it was pretty much too late to make it worthe the hassle. Am up north and we bottomed out at something like -24° F last night. Tomorrow sounds like it will be better.
