change by trying to save yourself is forced and not real change, more necessity. but changing your rhetoric and a few bone throws to simulate caring is still right wing perpetrators with an eye on their mantra, hate all not us.  
which leaves us waiting for that right foot to come crashing down on our necks, and then, deja vu all over again.
That the Republican Party is in the midst of an identity crisis was made all the more clear by thecompeting responses to President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech, one by the party's parched "savior," Marco Rubio, and another by Tea Party darling Rand Paul, purveyor of spending cut proposals. While the GOP is tugged in two directions, many of its leaders have been calling for the "big tent" party to reopen its flaps and acknowledge the writing on the wall: just one win in the past six popular votes for president, thanks in part to an increasingly younger and more diverse electorate.
frog scorpion syndrome, beware
The outreach to Hispanic voters has already begun. Sean Hannity and the other members of the Foxerati have come around to the idea of immigration reform, while John McCain has warned that states like Arizona will "go from Republican to Democrat over time" if his fellow Republicans fail to pass legislation. As for women, the GOP establishment seems to have had it with "legitimate rape" scandals. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has declared that Republicans "must stop being the stupid party," and Karl Rove's new Conservative Victory Project is a concerted effort to defeat extreme candidates in Republican primaries (so as to avoid general-election defeats).
we are to believe centuries of degredation and subjugation are erased in 2 months and 2 weeks and all is well and forgiven, now vote for republicans in 2014. isn't this still disrespecting the Hispanics by literally thinking they can be won over by a pocket full of posies and a smile.
