So why is it that the GOP has so few minorities, and the Dems have so many?[W:533]

I know, I know, we hear all the stories from the Right about how the minorities - even though they tend to be socially conservative - are generally much more likely to support the Democrats because the Dems are supposedly promising them free food, free health care, free this and that. But that particular explanation doesn't wash, because the Asian American community is both more highly educated and earns generally more than whites do, but they also strongly support Democratic candidates (even though they are certainly socially conservative).

So why, then, if it's not a matter of free money and stuff, that minorities are so much more supportive of Democrats than of Republicans? The obvious proof lay in the pictures of obviously multiracial and multicultural Democratic rallies as compared to the almost lily-white nature of Republican rallies? What do you think?

I think it's because the type of conservative is different. I don't know any Latinos that demand or even suggest I should adopt their religion or that the laws should reflect their religion. Other than religion, Latinos are not conservative, they care about each other and their neighbors. Asians as well are not the same kind of conservative. I don't see Asians all up in arms over sexuality, homosexuality perhaps though I see that ebbing as well, but in general I don't see the "need" that most Repub conservatives have to control a woman's sexual medical choices, and again they are a community that cares about their neighbors.

Republican conservatism is all about not caring about others.

The Democratic agenda is far for palatable, particularly to the more educated.
Bunk-Myth are the "freebies" , from the old conservative playbook .

I'd like to agree with that, as I see the more intelligent whites being Democratic, and that would also include Asians. Unfortunately, primarily the only low-education voters that choose Republicans are whites. Low-education Latinos and AA choose Democrats.

Riiiight. Define intelligent. Because they are liberal whiners that have let our nation down a weak primrose path. Gee look how grand our nation is doing. Hell check out the rest of the world.
Hillary is supposed to be an ultra intelligent white, how is the Russian Reset going?
Biden is white, nuff said there.
Cuomo is white. Gee just crapped all over the 2A.
All top leadership in Boston is white, suspended the 4A after the Marathon Bombing.
Lois Lerner is white. And heading to jail.
Need I keep going about the supposedly intelligent whites that are in charge?

Thank you for proving my point, though I realize you'll never be able to understand how you did so.
 
Re: So why is it that the GOP has so few minorities, and the Dems have so many?

Because minorities are statistically poor. There. That's why.


Asians are leftist for the same reason white leftists are. They're subtly racist so they directly benefit from being seen as progressive plus from any pro upper class GOP policies. It's a win win. You can't blame people for doing what's in their interest.


The Nazis had to go somewhere after all.

What point was that, that "smart" whites are liberals? Otherwise you are welcome, I always love setting people straight on how "smart" liberals are.

In just a few moments we will be told that it is because the Democrats are buying votes from blacks with welfare and and buying votes from Hispanics with immigration reforms, the DREAM act or the lack of enforcement of immigration laws (even though Obama has deported more people than any of his recent predecessors).

Just looking for an answer - why is it that Dem political rallies are multiethnic and multiracial, whereas GOP political rallies are almost always lily-white.

Why is that?

Is not providing something for free and controlling it the same thing?

Do conservatives "have to control a woman's" automobile choices because they do not offer to pay for the cars they use?

As far as the rest, inserting anything political into anything strictly personal as are, IMHO, the list of things you cited, outside the prevue of government. This applies to the Democrat pet issues as well as those of the Republicans.

The way things are now, though, there is the Democrat Party and Democrat lite. The Republicans are merely a faded image of the Democrats once the rhetoric is passed. As such, why not choose the one that is the real deal?

As far as having a community that cares for its neighbors, the existence of the social safety net assumes that the community does NOT care for its neighbors and therefore the government must fill the void. The need for and reliance on the immediate family, extended family, community and church as was the case in the fairly recent past is a quaint and archaic idea in today's America.

The only family member that cares about you or that you need is Uncle Sam. This is the message of the Government to all who will listen.

But that doesn't address the question posed by the OP now does it. He didn't ask why pseudo intellectual leftists adhere to leftism, he asked why the uneducated and impoverished do.

The answer is obvious and can be highlighted by the leftist desire to flood the country with uneducated, impoverished Central American migrants--get the dumb masses in the US, get them hooked on left wing handouts and they will be reliable democrat voters.

Because blacks have fallen hook, line and sinker for the leftist ideology. A 95% racial adherence to a particular ideology is not the sign of intelligence or even thoughtful consideration but of indoctrination.

Why are you angry? What ever race you are, you made your choice. Let others make their choices.
If you don't like Democrats...what ever color or gender they are...don't vote for them.

Statistically there are more whites in poverty than blacks. By percentage of the their population, blacks have about 27% in poverty.

That means almost 75% of blacks are not in poverty. Why aren't the 75% voting republican? They're not poor.

I think that in about thirty years, when massive demographic change in the USA finally hits the GOP full force, it will be reduced to a minor, regional party with no national power.

I expect to live to see that happen and I'm 71-years old right now.

The clock is ticking.

Nope, just get back with us in 30-years and tell us how the GOP is doing after massive demographic change in the USA hits it full force.

This is a good explanation of the reason why in about 30-years massive demographic change in the USA will reduce the GOP to a minor, regional, party.

Few people will vote for those who hate, fear and despise them.




Don't take my word for this, wait and see what happens.
