    I'm not sure it's racist or sexist as much as it is petty and childish.

    McCain, and by extension Graham as his BFF, are just bitter about 2008. McCain has been playing sore loser for 4 years.

    Yet if white voters say I supported a white candidate because the candidate supports political agendas that are are important to whites, whites are considered racists voters.
    I agree, look at all those. Black votes Allen West and Mia Love got.

The Repubs also need to cultivate the white working class vote. They need a skilled practioner of politics, and Romney was not that.
    Think the Rs got a big share of white working class vote and white retiree vote. Problem is, these are shrinking demos. Skillful politicking won't be enough without sound policies to get back the Hispanic vote. The most troubling issue for Repubs I think is the Asian-American vote. Think it is a measure of the damage that has been done to the GOP brand that the most successful ethnic group in the country rejected them, given how the GOP positioned itself.

    Well, a typical broom closet would contain brooms (and possibly a vacuum and mop as well), and no bass drums.

    Also, I went to a typical urban/suburban public school and we never learned about how to conduct a search of a broom closet. So there's that.

    The contempt of the ill-educated for the well-educated never fails to amuse.

    We rarely agree, but you are absolutely correct that demographics will eventually mean the end to power controlled by the GOP and conservatives.

    Lincoln said that demise of this nation shall not come from some great foreign army, the demise shall come from within.

    Entitlements in all forms within the next two to three decades will eventually bring this nation to third world status.

    Want a picture of the future, for our citizenship when entitlements are a disproportional source of income, see Detroit, Baltimore, Miami, Los Angelos, Jackson MS, the list is long.

    The electorate will vote themselves free money from the government, through their elected officials.

    Many past historic leaders have warned about such an outcome in a democracy.

    Absolutely, losing the Asian vote by such margins has got to be the most troubling statistic of all.

    Sotomayor I can deal with. (She's certainly more qualified than Kagan.) But even the most partisan Democrat has got to admit that Eric Holder is a disaster as Attorney General.

    Atty. General seems to be a difficult cabinet job. Clinton, Bush, and now Obama have all appointed Atty. Generals who ended up involved in a lot of controversies...

    Indeed. Just wait until the 'E' word is tossed around.
