the GOP should communicate with minorities, listen to their concerns, and explain how conservative/libertarian influenced policies can be good for their communities. so, basically similar to what they should be doing to appeal to anyone. the GOP doesn't need to win over the minority vote as a block - it needs to be competitive. that means paying attention to issues and having an open dialogue. if you believe (as i and many other conservatives/libertarians do) that moving toward more intrusive economic regulation has the potential to hurt minority communities disproportionately, then the GOP needs to provide alternative solutions, not just trying to copy the Democrats.

Seriously, the interests of most minority voters consist of receiving handouts from the government. How can the GOP compete on that level?

First thing the GOP needs to do is get rid of this line of thinking. If you divide the country into an us vs them with the them being minorities always getting "handouts" from hardworking whites....yeah not going to get that many votes. You won't even get the votes of successful Hispanics and Asians, who are even less helped by "handouts" than Whites as a whole.


very true. there are a lot of hard-working blacks and hispanics trying to start businesses or other things to improve their communities, and the GOP can and should reach out to them. this is one thing that I give Steele credit for at least trying to do.
