I'm full Black and will never vote for a Democrat again. I cancel you out

Then you both are fools that don't assess the value of a candidate on their merits. Your color has little to do with this. To me a black Republican makes as much sense as a gay Repub. Again it is important to not single out an issue or candidate without looking at them closely, regardless of the label.
You need to check that. A long time ago -- up to about 1970 -- in a land not far away, Republicans were liberals. I seriously doubt that you'd find a great man like Frederick Douglass in the same party with an airhead like Sarah Palin.
I forgot, Republicans just tow the line... nevermind... continue with your ignorance.

And many blacks were Republican since the 1970's.. Colin Powel, Pierre Richard Prosper, Condoleezza Rice, Jackie robinson, etc. but while we are at it, did you know Democrats had no problem discriminating against blacks, and up until recently they even had people elected to Congress that belonged to the KKK in the past.
Not really. First of all, it is the GOP that is pushing all these Arizona type immigration enforcement laws. Hispanics do not like this law and believe they are being targed for an issue the GOP helped create.
Which Hispanics? The ones that are related to illegals, or have friends that are illegals, or stand to benefit from illegal immigration? Those Hispanics? I'm Hispanic, and I LOVE SB1070. By the way, us Hispanics are not one whole group. We don't look at ourselves as "Hispanic" only by Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, etc. That's where you are wrong, categorizing us as one voting block
Also, GOP family values are different from Hispanics. In most Republican households, kids are out the door when they are 18. Many Republican families do not want their kids moving back in. With Hispanic families, the door is open for their children for life.
This is true.
Another big issue is how Republicans react to pregnancy of a younger person. While Republican families shun the pregnant child, the Hispanic family sees the child as a blessing. Also, the extended family is a huge part of the Hispanic family.
The first part of your post is not entirely accurate. Many Hispanics shun pregnant teens, especially ones in the middle and upper class.
Republicans are individualistic. Hispanics generally are not. They are all about their families ala "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".
True as well, except I think the Cubans would partly disagree with you.
Hispanics:"Come for a week or two, I'll make dinner, you can have my bed."
We don't do this for everybody. Just our close friends and family.
Republicans: "There's a hotel down the street".
Forgot to mention Democrats: "Try applying for HUD or Section 8". Liberals are not generous either, they disguise their "generosity" by suggesting you go to the government
I just don't see it.
This post is such a gross overgeneralization, but a few things were accurate.

I find it humorous you went on to criticize labeling candidates, all in the same paragraph that you labeled candidates..
At some point when people realize the only alternative to the GOP is the party of bankruptcy, race/skin color will be irrelevant. At least for the good of the country, that's my hope.
Come on now, it looks like the dealmaking is going to result in a whopping 30 billion cut in the budget........that is huge.........out of a 1.7 TRILLION dollar deficit...........now that is progress.
