GOP Is Fielding More Minorities, as Well as Women, for Office

As a American of Mexican parents. I think this is great.It was the blacks who helped all of us with civil rights.I believe blacks can help lead this country back on the right course. Back to biblical principles + away from communism. Abe Lincoln was a republican .

I'll believe the Repubs are becoming tolerant of minorities when they run a black, atheist, openly gay, armed services officer who is married to her lover....

Window dressing and fluff from the Tax and Spend Party of No,formerly the Republican Party, lead by John Boehner.

And Jennifer Carroll a Republican, African-American Woman is running for LT GOV of Florida. I knew her when she was in the navy and she always treats everybody with kindness and respect. She has my vote!!!!

"it would mark the first time since Reconstruction that more than two African-Americans from the Republican Party have served in Congress." Does it count as a real win if they then are relegated to "token" status and expected to betray the interests of their group? Does anyone remember how Palin said she was a feminist before the GOP made her retract it and now preaches how women should make less than men for the same work? Yeah....

Wow! What insight from a former Bushie: a statistically insignificant number of woman and men are running for office for the GOP and it's the second coming of the Civil Rights movement? Ha! May I suggest a new slogan for this multicultural, ethnically diverse GOP: Republicans: Some of Our Friends are Best Friends are Black!

I think all republicans need to focus on being a true american, and that means equality to all, not just the chosen few. and if money is all you want, then leave america and go do buisness elsewhere!you all talk the talk, but dont really have the right plan. corporations are your motto. I am middle class, but because of you, I am lowest middle class !

Can't get an abortion if you are raped or there is incest in the family which is usually rape also. That is what the Republican party wants to do to women. Why would any women vote Republican

the tone of this article is disgusting, and insulting to GOP women and minorities. It is well know that Democratic policy has always been to paint the GOP anti minority and anti woman. The newsmedia and this writer went in lock step with the Democratic ploy to get those votes. Now the media is all confused. GOP women and minorities have decided to quit taking the psychological abuse thrust on them by Democrats and the media, and step forward. Just because you are a minority doesn't make you Maxine Walters or Rangel, two big Dem minority leaders.

I'm doing something, during this election year, that I have never done before! Every time I see and hear a Black candidate on Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and on Governor Huckabee's program...."quick like a bunny" I write their name down, and their web-site, and send in sometype of financial contribution! I've been giving the same consideration to some of the fabulous women running for Senator, Governor and for Congressional seats in their States! I am also so impressed with Hispanic races, especially Rubio, in Florida....we may be looking into the face of a future President! I am 77 years old, a retired Jewish lady, from Brooklyn, New York....and never have I been more hopeful for the Conservative-Patriotic movement in America, that I can feel "in these old bones!" If Republican-Conservative value's prevail.....there will be hope for a Great and Proud America again!
