Please come back to Earth. I think your oxygen tanks are running out on Mars.

Blacks: have you seen the numbers of GOP support among the black community? Some may be socially conservative on the marriage issue, but they are not going to touch that sh*! --- nu, uh, uh.

Hispanic: have you seen the numbers of GOP support among the hispanic community? One word: Immigration. Republicans lost this population for a generation when the conservatives killed the Bush-Kennedy reform bill.

Catholics: too educated and sophisticated at this point; they aren't going to be one-issue voters on gay marriage, and if they would be, they already are on abortion, and so are already voting with the Repubs anyway.

I take it nobody has ever approached you for a position as a political strategist?
