When a few conservatives say "African-Americans who voted for President Obama are dumb", that will keep alot African-Americans away from the Republican Party. What you say can affect how people view you. It is also how you say it.
I would say that both parties have their fair share of idiots, that's why the number of independents are growing.

I corrected your post.
There is a preponderance of abject stupidity in Congress these days, on both sides of the aisle. As someone once said, "You can't fix stupid," but apparently it can be elected.
Nice attempt at revisionist history, but that never happened. Throughout US history it has been the Republicans who supported civil rights and the Democrats who opposed them. Up to, and including, the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
It was the Republicans that passed the Civil Rights Act of 1957, which created the Civil Rights Commission and authorizes the Justice Department to investigate cases of blacks being denied voting rights, over strong Democrat opposition. It was Republican President Eisenhower that deployed the 82nd Airborne Division to desegregate Little Rock’s government schools over the strenuous resistance of Democratic Governor Orval Faubus.
It was the Republicans who sponsored anti-lynching legislation that Democrats vehemently opposed and ultimately filibustered to death in the Senate. It was the Republicans that passed and ratified the Fourteenth Amendment, without a single Democrat vote.
Your version of US history is very twisted indeed.
Wow. i guess you missed the part where I called out conservatives not Republicans in particular. American conservatives no matter the party have been against progression since inception. But since you bring up Republicans that's were most conservatives reside today.

Wow i so so agree with your post. I definitely say, that both parties, have {plenty of idiots} in their party.
Problem is when one party actually believes they are the party, with all the right answers, and that we have to agree with those ways. That screws us up royally. And their supporters right or wrong, believe this to be so, drives me friggin up the damn wall. You cannot fix stupid, unless stupid wants to be fixed.
It appears in this case stupid does not want to be fixed. Thus the reason for so many independents, neither party has the answers, and both parties, are our problems. Without coming up with agreed solutions to our many problems, their playing games with each other, while the Country continues to go down hill, it is at our expense.
Within the time since the election, I've heard more complaints about Blacks voting Democrat. Nothing surprising. Question is this: Why is there so much concern about who Blacks vote for?

If you don't understand demographics and voting, do research on it and you won't have to waste time on here.
