My prediction has come true and most Republicans are caught off guard and don't know how to deal with the social issues. I tried to warn the RNC and Republicans leaders, by telling them that this would happen, but they ignored my prediction and never prepared themselves to deal with social issues. Now they are faced with:
1. Religious issues: - the Mormon Church and the Holocaust, the Catholic Church and who is a Christian - Obama is not a Christian
2. Birth-control and Republicans interfering with women's health
3. A new case on Affirmative Action that's coming up before the U.S. Supreme Court - Will Republicans support Affirmative Action or go against this sytem for minority and women.
4. Gay Rights and the Republican Sheriff in Arizona that is alleged to be Gay
5. Mitt Romeny and his statements about the poor
As I said before, Republicans hire political consultants who don't have a clue regarding how the left-wing media and the Democrats will frame the election. Republicans want to only talk about Jobs and the economy, without realizing that they do not have the power to determine what will be discussed, only the left wing media has this power and they are not going to let the Republicans determine what is important in this election.
All of the Republican candidates have had a lot of good ideas on jobs and economy, but instead the media has ignored their ideas and have chosen to focus on their statements pertaining to women and birth control, religion, gay rights, the poor, and now they will be faced with Affirmative Action (a race issue) - something that they never thought would come up. And before it's all over, look for Gay marriage to take center-stage as well.
If Republicans do not hire consultants that know how the media works and how Democrats think, they will lose this election.
Again, most Republican candidates do not have advisors and consultants who are black, female, religious leaders, and those who represent the poor to advise them. Unfortunately most of their consultants are white, male and from upper income circles who are totally out of step with the rest of society. Voters will invest billions in Republican Candidates who will lose the election because they are un-prepared to deal with social issues.
I feel sorry for Mitt, a very talented individual, but he too fulfilled what I predicted. I said he would not be a person who could relate to the common person (after meeting him last year in a private home) and it has come true. He put all of his apples in his business background and stated that he was not concerned about the poor.
The media didn't wait for an explanation (nor did Santorum - his Republican competitor) and they both jumped on the statement and Rick, the compassionate conservative candidate gained momentum.
The political consultants for these candidates do not realize that the average voter wants a compassionate leader who can relate to women, ethnic minorities, religious individuals, the poor, the need for education reform, as well as big business.

Rev. Perryman is right. The candidates and the Republican campaign is being shoved into a social issues corral where the Left and Democrats feel they are with the majority. We have to grab the campaigns and not let the American Fifth Column the MSM define us.
We have to villify the Democrat opposition. They are not your lberal leaning misguided neighbor. Don't think of Barack Obama and family as an updated Huxtable family. Instead remember another Chicagoan in Rocky III, Clubber Lang as the ugly mean face of Chicago Machine politics as practiced by the Obama Campaign.
