Jon Stewart in the four minute snippet below illustrates the dilemma. He uses Trump to show the racist inclination that is readily accepted. He uses Bachmann and Palin to show the alternate state of reality many GOP principals put out at prominent events. He then uses the Conservatives’ latest savior, renowned neurosurgeon Ben Carson who turned out to be just another very intelligent person but a member of the evangelical Right Wing faction.

A Very White Republican Party Plans Minority Outreach
Quoted Text
"As the Republican Party gears up to launch a concerted, well-funded outreach effort aimed at attracting elusive minority voters, it's not just battling dismal poll numbers and tough demographic trends -- it's working to overcome its own overwhelming whiteness."
"There is not a single racial minority among the 20 most senior officials who run the Republican National Committee, National Republican Congressional Committee, and National Republican Senatorial Committee -- the three wings of the GOP apparatus charged with promoting candidates and winning elections. This lack of diversity has paralyzed the party's ability to connect with minority communities..."
"We have become a party that parachutes into communities four months before an election," Priebus told CBS. "In comparison to the other side, the Obama campaign lived in these communities for years. The relationships were deep, they were authentic."

"One thing that remains striking about our politics right now is the degree to which public opinion among Republicans is increasingly isolated and drifting away from the rest of the electorate. You see this on pretty much every major issue facing the country."
"All of which is to say that there seems to be little incentive for GOP politicians, particularly ones who are insulated from national opinion in safe districts with a lot of GOP base voters, to compromise with Obama or Democrats." Greg Sargent

Republican North Carolina state legislators have proposed allowing an official state religion in a measure that would declare the state exempt from the Constitution and court rulings.

President Obama is going to be writing the government a check every month for 5% of his salary as a show of unity with federal workers impacted by the Republican sequester. That’s $20,000 a year. If Republicans are so concerned about the deficit that they were willing to allow the sequester to kick in, surely they will step up to follow the President’s fiscal example.

Oral And Anal Sex Should Be ‘Crimes Against Nature’ In Virginia Virginia Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli has filed a petition with the 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Richmond asking the full 15-judge court to reconsider a decision by a three-judge panel last month that overturned the state’s sodomy law.
The three-judge panel ruled 2-1 on March 12 that a section of Virginia’s “Crimes Against Nature” statute that outlaws sodomy between consenting adults, gay or straight, is unconstitutional based on a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2003 known as Lawrence v. Texas.

Republicans Side With Iran And North Korea, Oppose UN Treaty To Keep Weapons From Terrorists
Senate Republicans and the National Rifle Association are preparing to side with the likes of Iran and North Korea in opposition to a U.N. Arms Trade Treaty that would help prevent weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists and human rights violators.
The United Nations General Assembly passed the international treaty by a vote of 154-3 with 23 nations abstaining from voting. The Tuesday vote marked the first time the U.N. has attempted to regulate the global arms trade in an effort to keep weapons of war from those who would commit acts of terror and human rights violations. The only three countries to oppose the treaty were Iran, North Korea, and Syria.

Don't blame me... If I were a Republican leader, I'd hide it too!
