I'd post a link to an article that explains how to open a URL in a new tab, but it would require you to open the URL in a new tab. Guess you're screwed.

Cant get to it on a kindle. But Mondale speaks of being friendly and not saying stupid things when the real problem is believing stupid things about reality and about the new majority. And changing that will undermine core values.

This article describes Jindal's complaint about the GOP

"You don't start to like people by insulting them and saying their votes were bought. We are an aspirational party," he said.

Sounds about right.

Actually you get to them by convincing them it is in their best interest to choose you. This is more than liking them.

Maybe so. But human (voter) behavior is interesting. The smart guys in the Republican Party are convinced that a voter will not vote for a candidate if the voter perceives the candidate does not like them (the voter), no matter the voter's best interest.

What I said isn't about some x that IS in the voters best interest, it is about convincing the voter that some x or y is in their best interest. E.g. selling some social issue as more important than say, the economy.

Unless the GOP can sell relevance and value to minorities, instead of targetting them as the problem........add in a couple of derogatory terms that alienate minorities into that cartoon and you get the picture

Though the cartoon does cover all bases...lulz

"As the incoming president of the Republican Governors Association, which will have thirty members in 2013, Jindal questioned Romney for having criticized President Obama as having provided "extraordinary financial gifts from the government". In reply to Romney, Jindal said, "You don't start to like people by insulting them and saying their votes were bought." Jindal said that his party must convince a majority of voters that it supports the middle class and the principle of upward mobility. He also criticized what he termed "stupid" remarks regarding rape and conception made in 2012 by defeated Republican U.S. Senate nominees Todd Akin in Missouri and Richard Mourdock in Indiana."

He's quite right. The Republican Party has become more and more off-putting over the years to conservative independents like me.
