For at least half a century, the party of Lincoln has battled charges that it is racist, sexist and anti-immigrant.

Today, voters from a conservative state made those arguments a little bit harder to make. In Utah, Mia Love became the first black Republican woman — and first Haitian American — elected to Congress.

For the GOP — a house divided that faces significant demographic hurdles to winning the White House in 2016 even as it celebrates President Obama’s shellacking — this was huge. A party threatened with electoral extinction among African Americans and immigrants now has someone to brag about in Washington. In a wave election less about fresh Republican ideas than fervid disapproval of all things presidential, Love’s compelling personal story is an oasis. She’s not just a black face in what’s often described as a party full of angry old white men. She’s a path forward.

Good for her. I've followed her for a while now. The daughter of Haitian immigrants.

So much for all Republicans being racist and sexist.

Wasn't that cool? I saw the beautiful look on her face when it was a sure deal. I loved it!

I am hoping that we will eventually be able to destroy the image that Republicans hate minorities and women. Those are two of the biggest lies of my lifetime, and it just pisses me off that dems have been able to use those lies for their own gains for decades.

It was awesome. She is such a classy lady and it made me smile from ear to ear at about 3 am when I found out about it (Mr. B & I were at the Scott Brown party and had to catch up when we got home). She's someone to watch in the future!

So can we call the left wing narratives of the GOPs " war on women " and the party that hates black people over and done with ?

Obviously she is an uncle Tom an Aunt Jamima a token black and is acting white.:roll:

It is good to see, the Republican party is in need of some new blood.

No, they'll use it for all its worth, and keep beating that drum until there isn't an audience any longer. It's going to be a long time coming.

Have a great day L

I think Mia Love's victory coming from a very red state is profound. I also see the re-election of Senator Scott (R) of South Carolina, one of only two black senators currently serving also very profound. I see all the wins of GOP women this election to put to bed this mythical war on women. And I also think it should be noted those white women candidates in the South that played the race card this election all lost. It didn't help Nunn in GA. It didn't help Hagan in N.C.. It didn't help Mary Landrieu in LA.

Oh , not another black community organizer....

She became a neighborhood activist in Saratoga Springs, Utah, leading the charge to get a developer to spray the area for flies

Sorry, couldn't resist. But it is nice to see someone other than a 80 year old male winning the election.

Lets no forget Tim Scott. Another historic Republican win the left will denigrate with their race baiting narrative.

Tim Scott wins US Senate race and is 1st black to win statewide in SC since Reconstruction


COLUMBIA, South Carolina — South Carolina voters have sent Republican Tim Scott back to the U.S. Senate, making him the first black candidate to win a statewide race since just after the Civil War.

She's no sex symbol like Hillary or Lizzy Warren, ( LOL) but dayum, she is easy on the eyes!!

I have a lot of republican friends and on a individual level, I know all republicans are not racist. I think you guys face the same problem that us black people face. You are all judge by the actions of a minority group in your party. You said that it pisses you off well welcome to my world. And trust me, the dems are not the root of the reason we feel this way. They are the beneficiaries of it. Some in your party make it very easy for dems to use race as a political weapon. All they have to do is point and say " I told you !". Rand Paul, Colin Powell, and Michael Steele both on different occasions spoke about this.

Even on this website, there are republican posters that I wouldn't agree with as far as policy, but they treat me with respect and that respect is giving back. Ask guys like Canada John. That awesome that you and other republicans like yourself supports Love and I hope that it continues.

Many Americans realized they were duped during the previous presidential election by this phoney war on women but the Dems continued with this tired issue anyway.

Perhaps Democrats will be forced to move on from their charges of "racism" and "sexism" as an election strategy and deal more with economic issues or foreign affairs. The questions is whether they have anything else.

She is very gracious and intelligent as well. I was sorry the last time time when she lost so very pleased to see her win now. She'll make a fine addition.
 
Re: Meet Mia Love. You’ll be seeing a lot more of the Republicans’ first black congre

She'll be very lonely if she starts a Republican Black Caucus.....

The (R) stands for "Radiant" and "Ravishing"...

After losing in 2012, I'm glad she stuck with it... She will make a fine edition to the US Congress.

The divisive racial and gender politics that Dems love to play isn't working any more. White males are kind of sick of tired of it and it showed!!


Can you say ' shellacking' ????

Seems like this thread is doing a lot of celebrating of her color and the fact Republicans voted in someone of her color. I guess race only matters if you can spin it positively?

Last I checked this thread put her race and gender front and center

She is a positive no matter what her color. Having Blacks serve in government is nothing new for the Republican party.
