You have proof that the Republican party is 90% white? What does that even have to do with this conversation you fool?
Gallup poll?
Why would you think the Republicans party isn't 90% white? I'm just curious. If their convention and who they vote into office is any indication, well, you know.
Besides, with a party that's 90% white, they should be "proud" of their "whiteness". Not run away from it.
I haven't seen that poll, but let's assume you are in fact correct and the Republican Party is 90% white. The US population as a whole is 80% white. So that number doesn't seem to be that far out there to me.

Now let's get down to reality, a place you don't visit often I'm sure.
The reason so many whites are Republicans is the same as the reason so many blacks voted for Obama. Of course people are going to associate with other people who they feel have their best interest in mind. That's just logical, and as an upper middle class white guy, who would represent me better, the Republicans or the Democrats? As a poor lower class black man, who would represent me better? It's just common sense.
Are you suggesting that we desegregate the parties, and make each party have a proportional number of members to the general population? Because I assure you that if that were to happen, the middle class white guy would rule BOTH parties and the non whites you seem so concerned about would have no voice.
Talk about weird logic.
There is no reason for me to post something over and over again. Especially when you only need to go to Google and do a search: gallup poll republicans white
Duh!
The Republican base is in the South East. They do think alike. It's called "concentrated crazy". I don't need to say, "If the USMB right wing is any indication", because they aren't an "indication", they are an "example".
The craziness they believe is what white wingers in general believe. About blacks, about liberals, about science, pretty much about everything.
The Democrats have a white majority, in a way. That party is 60% white. But included in those whites are liberals, conservatives, educated, uneducated, gay, feminist, college professors, scientists, artists, atheists, teachers and many white who simply aren't welcome in the Republican Party. Republicans may have a few gays, but really, do we have to ask how welcome they are? Seriously?
Then you add in Hispanics, blacks, Muslims and all the other different kinds of people into the Democratic Party and what you have is a "coalition" party. And yes Virginia, it IS just that simple.
Republican leaders have grown so sure of themselves, it's becoming quite a shock when they go after teachers, nurses, the elderly and the base is begins to "fight back". Never thought I would see that happen as long as we have a "black" in the "WHITE" House. Can you say, "Cut off nose to spite face"? They hate Obama so much, they are willing to suffer anything to see him fail. Only that tide seems to be turning. Oops.
