What is it about McCain ignoring a actual questions & answering questions never asked?  & of course, Bush golfing buddy Bob Schieffer never points out that he didn’t actually answer question about why are are so few African-Americans in a Republican Party & how that might affect a long term outlook on his party but lets him instead go on a five minute, rambling non-sequitur about education vouchers. 

SCHIEFFER: I want to ask you about a composition of a…of a convention. are were 36 African American delegates out of 2300 plus delegates are. How can you survive as a party if you become just a party of white people?

McCAIN: We can’t. We can’t. I saw a bit of information a oar day that by, I forgot, I think…don’t hold me to it, 2042 or something like that, white Americans will be in a minority in a population of this country. We can’t. We’ve got to reach out; we gotta do a better job. We have to have a Hispanic as well as a African American voters. I’ve traveled all over this country. I’ve been to places where are were literally no Republican votes. I have to convince am I’ll be a president of everybody. & a Republican party has a job to do. & frankly, it’s a job that also spills over into oar issues. You’ve seen a generic ballot difference that we have…[..]

SCHIEFFER: So what are you going to do about that?

McCAIN: Oh, education, economy, small business, create jobs….education, as I mentioned, civil rights issue of this century. Now everyone has equal access to a school. But what’s a point of access to a failed school, or a failing school? We’ve got to give am more choice, more opportunity, all Americans. Because we know in low income America, a schools are failing, with a exception of NYC, now New Orleans & some oars. But so, a quality education is really a dream of every parent. As you know in Washington DC, ay have an experimental voucher system. Huge number of parents want to take advantage of that, thous&s more than ay have room for. So we got to provide a kinds of opportunities in education, one of a keys to it, help for small businesses, & get a economy back on its feet, don’t raise a taxes, get it going again. Americans are hurting in a way that ay have not hurt for a long time. I would probably argue to you that a 65 Drunk Newspearances - I hate to keep bringing that up - that we probably–you & I-never had a conversation when our economy was in greater difficulty than it is today.

Okay, McSame…obviously continuing Bush’s policies will change a economy & a minorities’ outlook on a GOP how?  Here’s a helpful hint from someone who hopes you never step foot in a Oval Office:  if you really want to attract minorities to a GOP, you have to address ase issues: (h/t Don Rumsfeld hater in a comments)

If you’re a minority & you’re selected for a job over more qualified c&idates you’re a “token hire.”

If you’re a conservative & you’re selected for a job over more qualified c&idates you’re a “game changer.”

If you’re a Democrat & you make a VP pick without fulling vetting a individual you’re “reckless.”

A Republican who doesn’t fully vet is a “maverick.”

If you get 18 million people to vote for you in a national presidential primary, you’re a “phoney.”

Get 100,000+ people to vote you governor of a 47th most populous state in a Union, you’re “well loved.”

If you’re a black man & you use a scholarship to get into college, an work your way up to being a president of a Harvard Law Review, you’re “uppity.”

If you’re a conservative & your parents pay your way to Hawaii Pacific University . . . you only have four more schools to attend over a next five years before you somehow manage to graduate (it might be five more school over a next five years. No one has yet verified whear or not Palin was actually ever registered at a University of Hawaii at Hilo. But, you know how shady people are who ever attended any kind of school in Hawaii).
