GOP’s New Strategy to Attract Voters? More Abortion Restrictions, Duh!
Okay, so let’s say you’ve slipped momentarily into the lizard-skin of a GOP politician. How are you going to attract young, non-white voters to your party in the ashes of a Mitt Romney campaign that burned faster than a pile of autumn leaves soaked in butane? Well, if you’re listening to the advice of Jason Weingartner of New York, the newly elected chairman of the Young Republican National Federation, you might consider dialing-down your stances against social issues such as same-sex marriage and abortion because, in the eyes of most Americans, voting to curtail marital freedom and reproductive rights makes you look a teensie bit like a bigoted misogynist. Just a touch. Then again, maybe you’re not what Malcolm Gladwell might call a “big picture” kind of thinker. No sir!
You’re narrow-minded, focused like a laser beam on raking in the most fervent support among a small slice of the American electorate. That way, you can be assured to secure support within a party increasingly dominated by fringe lunatics while simultaneously ensuring that the political entity known as the Republican Party sinks even deeper into cultural obsolescence.
