Says NY Times’ Frank Rich
By http://wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2994
In Frank Rich’s New York Times column yesterday (you know, the same one he’s rehashed hundreds of times before, with slight edits), he speaks of the “demographic monotony: all white and nearly all male” of Sen. John McCain’s (Media-AZ) victory “posse” (“The Grand Old White Party Confronts Obama,” February 17, 2008).
Rich tells us that in victory, “McCain looked like a loser,” and that his white men supporters are an “albatross.”
Imagine if he had said that female or black or http://wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3241 political supporters were an “albatross” around a candidate’s neck, and made him “look like a loser.” But he wouldn’t dare. He’d be out of a job, and the column would be killed.
If, as Rich says, white men supporters are an “albatross” around McCain’s neck, then the only thing for the Republican frontrunner to do is to tell them, “White men, leave me alone; I only want women and people of color to vote for me.”That would guarantee Gov. Mike Huckabee (http://wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3021-AR) the party nomination. And if the Huckster followed Rich’s advice, it would guarantee the Democrats the biggest landslide in American history.
Rich claims that in being dominated by white men, “A cultural sea change has passed [the GOP by.” On the contrary, today’s GOP is a response to that sea change. Beginning in the 1960s, the Democratic Party undertook its Northern Strategy. Its leadership decided that promoting racist and sexist hatred towards heterosexual white men was the wave of the future. Millions of heterosexual white men got the message and exited the party. The rich ones stayed, because the party’s policies did not harm them, as long as they mouthed the racist, sexist slogans, and made generous contributions.
Rich wants the Democratic ticket to win, whoever heads it, because he is a Democratic hack. His pompous, racist, sexist rhetoric is the expression of his party loyalty. Rich is one of those privileged, white, heterosexual males who still have status in the Democratic Party. He’s probably not even aware that, as Steve Sailer first showed about eight years ago, the statistical and political key to any Republican winning isn’t in jettisoning white men and pandering to blacks and Hispanics—which McCain’s already been doing for years—who will never support him, but in reaching out to more whites. As Sailer has shown, were any GOP candidate to get 60 percent of the white vote, he would be guaranteed the White House.
