Hard working Latins,Asians including immigration from (Near East) ALL believe in the importance of tradition, family,hard work,patriotism etc.No,I don't think Republicans will have as much difficulty replenishing their ranks as you seem to hold.

Don't be a coward brother. have the guts to say what you mean.
A large number of Democrats & Liberals see political ideology as the defining issue of race and gender. Black brown or yellow is not a race; to be a real black person you have to be a Liberal Democrat, otherwise you are not really black. To be a female you have to be a Liberal Democrat, otherwise you are not really female.
I will tell you a little secret brother, there were blacks, browns yellows and reds before there was an America or a Democrat. Males and females existed before Liberal idology and the Democratic party.
No brother; I didn't write Obamas speech on the Letterman show; Obama is a brite guy and he figured that one out all by himself.

that America has a lot of black and brown voters. Perhaps the most "Inconvenient Truth" for Al Gore (and for our country) was that, as a white man with a reputation (deserved or not) for being "boring", he was not able to pull QUITE enough of them out to the voting booths in November of 2000.
But, I cannot agree with first poster below that Republicans are a dying party. They are an endless fountain of tricks, and the concentrated energy of black and brown voters will be the required key to defeating them in every election henceforth.

DUH...what a maroon. These people trends have been in place for a long time. Republicans are QUICKLY becoming a marganilzed party at best. There will still be a party and people getting elected. It's hard to think many Black or Hispanic voters will vote for anyone for President for that camp anytime soon. Palin? Romney? Pawlenty? I do not think so.
BTW...choosing that idiot Mike Steele was a BAD move for the party. He has no credibility with White republicans and Black and brown folks view him as a toe ahead of Clarance Thomas.
Someone turn out the lights on the Republican Party.
