This next report is kind of funny, yet sad at the same time. Following the party's losses in the 2012 elections, Republicans have been stating that they need a brand change - to reach out more to different demographics since they were dominated by pretty much everyone whom wasn't 60 or above and sported a sagging pair of balls. To this point, this has been largely unsuccessful and that became no clearer than when this following news story broke today.
Pablo Pantoja was appointed to be the State Director of Florida Hispanic Outreach by Republicans, in hopes that he could trim the Democrats' advantage in the state among Hispanics, which factored in largely to President Obama narrowly winning the state this past November. But, Mr. Pantoja recently had an epiphany or something of the sort and made the following announcement via an e-mail he sent yesterday:
"Friend,
Yes, I have changed my political affiliation to the Democratic Party.
It doesn't take much to see the culture of intolerance surrounding the Republican Party today. I have wondered before about the seemingly harsh undertones about immigrants and others. Look no further: a well-known organization recently confirms the intolerance of that which seems different or strange to them."
How's that outreach going for the Republican Party again? Instead of failing time and again at barely reaching out to other demographics, perhaps the party would be better off investing money in prolonging elders' lives (forever perhaps). This may be the only way to keep the party from going extinct.
