well thanks for sharing that nugget of wisdom.

A lame attempt to divert from the real point which is that Republicans will not vote for a black person. That is why they are so angry at America for electing a black man POTUS

Lets see both my wife and I are Republicans and we would vote for a black person into office, not angry that America elected a black man POTUS, not happy with the current president, not because he is black, but because of policies and standings.

Go fly a kite. All the racism this last presidential campaign was on the left.

Joe Biden proved the low opinion white libs have of blacks with this condescending and insulting comment:

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy, I mean, that's a storybook, man."

When republicans vote for a black man or woman, it will be based upon their character, experience and proven leadership, not just because they are a black man, who smiles and makes no sudden moves, or to assuage their own self-loathing bigotry.

Only to a liberal is race an influencing factor in a person's character or qualifications.

So explain why Blacks make up 13% of the population and the only blacks in Congress are DEMOCRATS? You and your wife may be Republicans but clearly you are in a minority of that party because most Conservative Republicans would never vote for a black person. They do not believe they have the capability to lead. The same is true of Obama. It's the melanin in his skin and not his policies.

The same is relatively true of WOMEN.
In the Senate, there are 17 women: Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Susan Collins (R-ME), Kay Hagan (D-NC), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Patty Murray (D-WA), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Olympia Snowe (R-ME), and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI).

Only THREE of the women in the Senate are Republicans and a big whopping ZERO of them are BLACK! Oh my! I guess that little fact is just coincidental too??!!

And what makes you know what they believe, do you have links or anything of that nature that shows where Republicans have stated thats what they believe. It's easy to say that it is what they believe because you are opposed to them, but, until you have proof that it is what they believe, it is just a blank statement that has no bearing.

The evidence is in the lack of blacks who want to belong to the Republican Party and by the lack of electing those blacks who are in the Republican Party. These facts are easily verified concerning the number of elected black republicans/or lack thereof in the Congress.

Because there are black people that don't want to be Republican that don't mean that the Republican party wont elect a black person based on the color of their skin, it just means that a lot of black people choose to follow the democrats. Numbers just tells of numbers, not what is in someones mind.

The number of republicans in Congress dropped. So does that mean that republicans are starting to believe it's a good idea to not vote for white men also.

My point is, you can only assume as to the reasons, not truely know.
