Funny as in peculiar, not funny as in 'ha ha'.

Not surprising at all. The Dems want to extend benefits/rights to a large part of their constituency (minorities of all stripes) and the GOP wants to sow resentment in their constituency for the Dems doing so.

I'm surprised as Hell that they have 5% that are not majority white, I figured it would be zero.

It is natural since non Hispanic whites feels justifiably that the present illegal immigration system is aimed at reducing their clout and influence.

"Naturally and justifiably?"

Right now the GOP's power base is limited to backwater US House districts full of bible thumping clockstoppers who have their noses buried in American women's reproductive organs and want Genesis taught in public school science class. Good for them, let them have it. They will have more and more trouble in Senate elections as well as the power of voters in urban areas continues to grow. And they're unlikely to win another presidential election until something changes in their idiotic basic platform of social issues.

Well said Ike.

No wonder the GOP is running scared. They are on the path of the dinosaurs, mostly (all) of their own doing. If they weren't so hateful towards everyone not white, wealthy and (straight) male things could be different.

I agree.

I like Ike.

When he doesn't have his head up his ass.

Minorities vote Democrat? Who knew.
