Women's vote: "Problem here for Republicans is not policy but

Charles Krauthammer in the Washington Post.

As the Republican leadership figures out where it's gone wrong, conservative thinker Mr. Krauthammer offers this powerful new insight regarding how to represent the female half of the nation:

"The problem here for Republicans is not policy but delicacy — speaking about culturally sensitive and philosophically complex issues with reflection and prudence." Or, as he said, no more "morons" talking aboout rape.

In fact, Mr. Krauthammer finds that the GOP needs to make only one change to be grand again: "For the party in general, however, the problem is hardly structural. It requires but a single policy change: Border fence plus amnesty. Yes, amnesty. Use the word. Shock and awe — full legal normalization (just short of citizenship) in return for full border enforcement." Very strangely, there's no mention here of a need to actually embrace LEGAL Hispanics, leading one to wonder when and if he'll make the connection that all Hispanic voters are here legally. As in, REAL Americans. Or--does he even want them to actually join the GOP? Maybe just not pour out to vote Dem? That "the fewer who vote, the better for us strategy?" Check this one out:

Black conservatives can stay right where they are--as poor fits in a liberal party. His version: "The country doesn't need two liberal parties." My take: The GOP doesn't need to integrate.

The GOP's become too extreme? "Nonsense." ... "Republicans lost the election not because they advanced a bad argument but because they advanced a good argument not well enough. Romney ran a solid campaign, but he is by nature a Northeastern moderate. He sincerely adopted the new conservatism but still spoke it as a second language."
