"THE GOP FOCUSES ON SCANDAL-CREATION INSTEAD OF SOLVING ITS MINORITY PROBLEMS"

The Republican Party of America that is also known as the Grand Old Party or the GOP is fighting the most important political battle of its life to remain a viable national political organ that is capable of winning the White House again in 2016 or in the nearest future. The presidential election results of November 6, 2012 showed that America's major minority groups and demographics, such as the Latino-Americans, African-Americans, Asian-Americans,  the young Americans between the age of 19-30 years and the single white women that are under 40 years old all united together to reject the GOP in 2012. If these ongoing political trends continue unabated, the GOP may be reduced in the nearest future to a southern or a regional political party that will be made up of the majority of the American old white men and women.

This huge political challenge or problem in the GOP has forced all its politically diverse and ideologically different interest groups, such as  the establishment, the Tea Party, the Christian religious rights, the Libertarians and the Birther Movement of this party to continue to fight for the control of this political party at the center. These groups within the GOP are also solidly united together for the political destruction of the presidency and the political agendas of Barack Obama in his second term or his last term in the White House. The fear of Hilary Clinton, who remains the most popular politician in America today, and with the high possibility of running for the White House in 2016 and how to stop her before 2016 remains the biggest political nightmare for all these diverse political elements of the GOP today.

Because President Barack Obama cannot be defeated again by elections, the GOP has now developed a new political method based on the hurting for political scandals that never existed as their only way to achieve their political goals against the Obama's second term presidency. The entire GOP machinery and its House members are doing everything that is humanly and politically possible to turn the terrorist attacks on the American consulate office in Benghazi, Libya last year that resulted in the death of the American ambassador to Libya and the 3 other Americans into a political scandal for Obama. In the last one week, the GOP have also attempted to turn the administrative decision that was carried out by the IRS officials who decided to over-scrutinized the registration applications of some of the conservative groups who applied for tax exemption and the social welfare status into a political scandal for Obama. The recent revelation that showed that the United States Department of Justice seizure of the phone records of some of the Associated Press offices and their journalists has now become another political opportunity for the GOP to create another political scandal for the Obama presidency.

These self-made and self-created political scandals of the GOP will soon collapse like a pack of cards and will never stick to the historical presidency of Barack Obama because the President does not oversee directly the day to day operations of the IRS, the US Justice Department or the State Department. President Barack Obama has also done everything within his constitutional powers and responsibilities to address all these issues as required by law. These politically generated scandals that do not exist in all reality may cause the GOP the loss of some of its House seats in the 2014 midterm election and may encourage Hilary Clinton to run in 2016 for the White House again all these odds from the GOP. The biggest problem that GOP faces today in my own judgement is not those non-existing scandals but how to win back the hearts and the minds of the American minority groups and demographics that rejected the GOP at the polls in 2012. If the GOP continues to focus all its time, energy and attention on scandal-creation when no scandals exist anywhere, this political method will never allow the GOP to become a truly viable national political party again in America that will be capable of winning the White House back in 2016 or in our lifetime.
