The left lies so often that sometimes it is hard to know where to begin. One of their big lies has been that Republicans are racist, sexist, islamophobic homophobes who only want to make the rich folks happy. They say women and minorities are hardest hit, and so they can not be or vote for any Republicans. Why that would make them a traitor to their own. Democrats and their cheerleaders indulged in puffy analysis about how Republicans were demographically doomed because their base was old, white, and male. In this realignment narrative, Democrats were ascendant because they were the choice of women, gays, younger voters, Latinos and independents. Our holiday from history is over. The country faces threats, crippling government expansion at home and transnational Islamic extremism, that arouse conservative instincts and concentrate the conservative mind no matter what your gender or race is. Now the main reason I wrote this diary is for the photo selections that prove how much of a lie it is by the left about women and minorities being elected by Republicans. Actually the Republicans really stepped up in 2010 to compete in more contests than ever before, and the women and minority Republicans really stepped up. A record number of Republican women have sought federal office this year: 129 GOP women in House races and 17 in Senate races. There are still a lot of primaries left on Sept. 14th, and even more women and minority GOP candidates will be added to the November ballot then. So check out the photos, and if you click on a name it will take you to their website.
