It has nothing to do with white and black and brown. My wife is not white; but she shares the values of hard work and personal responsibility that you and I do.
It has everything to do with broken values. Plenty of white people have adopted the Oprah/Brittany Spears/Barak Obama culture as theirs. America broke tonight. But not because of color. It broke because the culture is broken—black, white and brown.
For over a generation our schools have brain washed our kids to be ashamed of our country’s heritage and to feel guilty for existing as a nation. Obama was a natural for the younger generation to glom on to.
Now what does the GOP need to do regain its popularity? First off we don’t appeal at all to the young voters. The college Republicans at UTA disbanded last year due to lack of participation. When you go to GOP meetings, the people are all over 50.
My daughter who goes to public schools has become conservative in her thinking simply because I explain things to her in a logical fashion that makes sense to her. The GOP never made the sale because they did not explain what was happening in clear language that people understood.
For instance, McCain never called Obama on his tax plan as a rebate to people rather than a rate reduction. He never related to young people as to what a growing economy could mean to them.
Oh well, we lost and it is time to get our act together and stick together. This is a new day and we need to spend our time educating people on economics. For instance, Joe the Plumber made more sense than McCain.
Amen to that. Broken values. The voters have spoken, everyone wants to be taken care of. And be rich and famous. It's ironic really that we as a culture have bowed to the highest god of Independence (you know, from parents, from morals, from personal responsibility, everyone wants to get rich quick, MTV Cribs style) and yet the voters have spoken, what they really want is someone to take care of them nanny style and tell them what to do and how to think. Like spoiled preschoolers.

There should be no balkanization of people here — we are Americans first!!

Contrary to your idea, the polls suggest the voters rejected the GOP, who they blame for an unpopular long war, and a crappy economy.
Nothing to do with color or culture.
