Of course there are some black conservative republicans... just like there are toothless, redneck southern liberal democrats... the point is, there aren't many of either. Trends in demographics clearly show that the number of minorities are increasing and that, for the vast majority of them, their allegiance to the democratic party remains solid. Those same trends show that the numbers of angry white guys are declining. Teabaggers may make a lot of noise and generate a lot of ink, but they don't represent the center of the bell curve, where EVERY election is won, and that center is becoming much more "colorful" as each election cycle passes. Republicans on here like Boris, for example, simultaneously trumpet their belief that the GOP needs to move further to the right, while they whine that the democrats are trying to marginalize their relevance. They need to decide whether they want to be a party with national relevance and play a significant role in the way public policy is developed, or whether they want to cling to their failing ideology and become a party with only regional relevance and no real national significance.
