“I think Republicans will not win again in my lifetime for the presidency unless they become a new GOP, a new Republican Party,” Kentucky senator and presidential hopeful Rand Paul claimed in an interview with Glenn Beck in February. Or as David Axelrod, Obama’s former chief political strategist, recently observed from the other side of the aisle: “The Republican Party today is, at its core, a mostly Southern, white, old, evangelical party” and is therefore “incapable of winning a general election for president.”

The Republicans might be running out of old racist white guys but the Dems still have the old, racist white guy Donald Sterling. Making money off black players but not letting them sit with him or his girlfriend.LadyJazzer wrote: The GoTP is finally realizing that they're running out of "old, angry white guys". The $10-million post-mortem from the 2012 election fell on deaf ears, and they've just decided to keep on hating on all the demographic groups they've hated on before. Sooner or later the gerrymandered districts that they set up for political advantage are going to fall victim to the same aging of the population that the rest of the country is seeing.
They may see some congressional pickups in 2014, but we've seen the last Republican president in my lifetime. By 2016, they will lose the White House, and the "old, angry white guys" will continue to die off at an even faster rate. The anger and panic you sense are the realization of the Right-wing that they have nothing to sell to the population but the usual anger, hatred, oligarchy and trickle-down garbage that history has shown hasn't worked, doesn't worked, and won't work.
Keep pushing the evangelicals over issues they've already lost...Keep pushing the War on Women while the governorships and state legislatures continue to flip...Keep campaigning against the minority groups, who will outnumber the old, angry white guys in just a few years....Even faster as their white guy constituency dies off.
I hope they jus' keep doin' what they're doin'.
And I'm not the only one that thinks so:

The NAACP even gave him an award, even though the Feds had charged him with refusing to rent to minorities. If the Dem is a big contributor, we will ignore his racism?
Pause, while I wait for LJ to get her talking points from the Daily Kos...
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2 ... acism.htmlOh, how eager the conservative press is to call Donald Sterling a Democrat! It’s all part of their larger fantasy narrative about conservatism and race.
First of all, I’ve been amused at how eagerly the right-wing press has pounced on the “fact” that Sterling is a Democrat. To my knowledge, there is no such established fact at this point. This is based on two political contributions he made many moons ago.
Apparently, when the story broke Saturday morning, everyone in the cyberworld somehow glommed onto a 2011 list published at a site called RealGM that listed the political contributions of NBA owners. This list said Sterling had donated to two Democrats, Gray Davis and Bill Bradley, and that these were long ago, going back to “the early 1990s.”
The Web site of the Sunlight Foundation tells us that this isn’t quite right—a Donald Sterling of Beverly Hills actually gave $5,000 to Davis more recently, in 2002, which was, incidentally, a campaign in which the Davis operation was known to be putting the shoulder on people harder than almost any campaign in history. The Bradley donation, of $2,000, was made in 1989, as Bradley was a year out from his second re-election bid. It was not, in other words, for Bradley’s presidential campaign. So Sterling’s big Democratic donations, made 12 and 25 years ago, hardly make him some kind of Sheldon Adelson of the left.

“Let me make it clear, the NAACP will not be honoring Mr. Sterling at the upcoming Los Angeles branch event and we have strongly urged our Los Angeles unit to take the necessary steps to rescind the previous award they bestowed on him.”
