"Although Hispanics disapprove of Homosexuality, so do Black Americans, yet that hasn't helped the GOP get any significant amount of the Black vote."

First off, the black Republican vote has been increasing, not decreasing. Secondly, the whole issue of homosexuality has not been at play all that long - 10 years ago, the discussions going on about it today would've been pretty much unthinkable. The idea of gay marriage was never taken seriously until very recently.
Not enough time has passed for that impact to be felt.

And there have been more conservative black leaders making names for themselves than ever before. Same with hispanics. I think a lot of people are going to be very very surprised by minority voting patterns in 2004.

I'm glad you phrased it this way. You didn't say that the number of black GOP members has increased. Stevie Wonder can see that. And I'll submit that a black person would not readily admit to voting for a Pub, but that doesn't mean he didn't.

I've run across more than a few blacks who have looked questioningly at some of the RAT stances. I suggest that they consider voting GOP, but not to join up. Why? Because we need the white Pubs to stay right where they are.

Now let that marinate.
