A new kind of Republican? | Power Players - Yahoo! News

Can we put to rest this foolish notion that the Republican party is only made up of Old rich white men. People like Mia Love(Black) marco Rubio(hispanic) and Bobby Jindal(Indian) represent a new generation of Republicans.

That's 3. Keep going. As the white population declines, I'm sure the "minority" numbers of the Republican party will have to rise. That or die.

who said "only"?

a few elected officials and small pockets (at most) of black people at Tea Party rallies doesn't change the fact that it's MOSTLY a party of older white men.

look at the elections, not the stories on drudge report.

Ask Rubio how that new revised Dream Act is working out for him. The GOP will never pass it and if they were to, Arizona would lose their minds. The Arizona GOP passed the "show me your papers" law that allows (and almost requires) the police to pull over anyone of "questionable immigration status" (darker skin) and have them prove their citizenship. Romney called it a model for the entire country. Sounds like the same GOP to me.

Well we have been a nation of mostly whites so that makes sense. As the demographics change so will the makeup of the GOP. Political affiliation is not inherently race based. It's based on ideology and a belief system. Today's young entrepreneurs are tomorrow's rich old Americans. Everyone is a republican with their own money. It doesn't matter what color their skin.

I'll see your 3 minorities and raise you 98% of the republican party is still old rich white men. It amazes me, republicans love to trot out like 2 or 3 minorities and let everybody know they include everybody in their party.

this post is the equivalent of a white guy saying "I'm not racist, I have a black friend"
