Republican Party of the United States to adopt Hip Hop mantel Posted: 19 Feb 2009 01:52 PM PST The Republican Party of the United States has revealed to reporters that they are trying to adopt a new image to attract the new Hip-Hop generation voters. "We want to convey that the modern-day GOP (’Grand Old Party’) looks like the conservative party that stands on principles. But we want to apply them to urban-surburban hip-hop settings." Not to be a downer but who here thinks that any fan of hip-hop would want to be apart of a party that is known for being racist? The party has already taken steps to clean up their image by first appointing a black man as their chairman (never been done before). And now I guess they will nominate Jay-Z as their secretary.
