Can I buy some pot from you?
"We have seen over the past few years, more and more minorities joining the Republican Party."
We have?
The only thing Bush has going for him is the economy, which is a big plus.
If that's the only strong point you see for President Bush, you need to turn off your television and spend your entire summer on this forum.
Bush's leadership in the Iraq war "isn't that good"? He's doing what every great leader has done: taking a huge risk based on his principles, unlike Clinton, Gore, Kerry, etc., who make their decisions based on the latest Zogby poll.
I gotta ditto a lot of the criticisms of your post here.
You make a ton of assertions without any backing. Bush's leadership in Iraq is "bad"? According to Democrats, yes - according to Republicans, no. Why are you simply handing the Democrats the argument without defending it, especially when you must know that the public perception of this is largely born of rampant media bias?
The claim that minorities are moving to being Republican could use some support as well. I hope you're right, and it is possible to see that in the tea leaves (I -do- expect a few more percent of blacks voting for Bush this year than in 2000, for example), but that's a far cry from the sea change you seem to be expecting.
I agree with your overall thesis that Democrats are self-destructing... and "can I have some of what you're smoking" may be a bit harsh... but you really do need to work on your debate skills and argumentation.

Sit back??!! No thanks. Evil has to be rooted out and destroyed. We should work harder to see that the dems are tossed on the dustbin of history.
Work at the Republican headquarters. Bring your friends. Knock on doors. Pass out leaflets. Attend rallies. Write letters to the editor. Fight against voter fraud. Vote a straight Republican Ticket.
Sweetie, go back to contemplating your navel.
Your rant has some good ideas but you need to supply credible references. Anyway, ranting sure takes some tension off. I know because I've been there and done that.
Hey, everybody, let's give this young person (if he/she is a young person) a little credit for starting to think.
As teenagers most of us were probably like, totally in the dark, and/or possessed of some pretty bizarre and wildly contradictory ideas if not totally insane.

"George W. Bush leadership on the Iraq War is not that good"
you lost me there. History will scratch it's head over the way Bush's leadership of the pacification of two countries rife with terrorists was denigrated...and how it was relatively bloodless, as country conquering goes...
You have some things to experiance and learn, but it will come.
You have a good start however, in my humble opinion.
Where in Arkansas are you?
