OPINION

Diversity Is Destiny
We Republicans are at our best when we speak to people's
hopes and aspirations -- not their fears or anger.
Americans used to see us as responsible stewards of our
nation's security, economy and liberties -- the
practical, principled grownups of American politics --
and Democrats were seen as the wide-eyed zealots. We
need to recapture that time.
This is still, after all, a center-right nation, but
Barack Obama won 60% of the vote among moderates (44% of
voters). Minorities make up a third of the population
and are more conservative than liberal. We ought to be a
natural home for moderates and minorities. For example,
President Bush won 44% of the Hispanic vote in 2004, but
67% voted for Sen. Obama in 2008. Unfortunately, John
McCain, popular among Hispanics, was hurt by the tone of
the immigration debate over the last three years, which
caused many to mistakenly view the GOP as anti-Hispanic.
Sadly, too many Americans view the GOP as out of touch,
intolerant, the party of the rich, and unable to govern
effectively. To be successful and regain the majority,
we must change these perceptions and communicate more
effectively with all segments of society, expand the
base and allow for varying view points, while remaining
true to our core values of limited but effective
government, individual liberty and personal
responsibility, and respect for traditional values.
Our message must offer a clear, optimistic and
compelling vision for the future made up of ideas,
reforms and solutions Americans can embrace. And this
can be done without pandering, patronizing or
compromising on our core principles. But it cannot be
done without engaging in dialogue, listening to
concerns, and making every effort to welcome citizens
from various segments of society into the party
infrastructure and to run for elective office.
Regaining our luster will be a challenge. But facing
this challenge will make us stronger and better in the
long run.
Mr. Vargas is the national chairman of the Republican
National Hispanic Assembly.
