No surprise. Look at the Democrats golden family: The Kennedys, not a single non-Anglo among them. same with the Clintons, all Anglo. The Equivalent Bush dynasty has many Mexican American Family members. Then there's that evil Republican John McCain who probably beats his Black daughter in law. Boener probably smokes a bowl with his Jamaican son in law

"There's those that do and those that just talk about it"
The Clinton Family consist of 3 people. A mother, father and their Daughter. You comparing them to the Bush family that has been in politics for multiple generations is down right lying.

The Bush family also does not have many mexican american family members, it has one branch, Jeb Bush's kids and that is it. But why does it matter who you fall in love with ?????

Being shell shocked everytime you find someone who doesnt fit the usual narrative indeed destroys that argument.


You wouldnt be posting about it if it did not.

GOP's surprising edge on diversity - CNN.com

Penetrating to the brains of the low info voters out there, is another matter, and I am the first to admit that Democrats are better at that than we are. However the groundwork is being laid, and the LIV's will eventually be brought along.
you post this same article on every racial issue, and every time you get slapped down. the GOP has a couple of Latino and female governors. How is that an edge in diversity when democrats have 2/3rd of their congressional caucus as non white ?????

congrats on having the diversity edge in governors by a total of 3. You lose Congress by 60+

Oh look, a bunch of conservative rubes are gloating that a black guy is Republican. I guess that's their admission that it's a relatively rare occurrence.

And I wouldn't be at all surprised if some of their best friends are black.

Perhaps it is because you live in Portland the idea of a black Republican surprises you. If you lived somewhere more diverse, this wouldn't surprise you in the least or think that it would surprise others.

It really doesnt matter how diversified the pubs are to hard core leftist as the talk is more important than the results.
