Addi, you make some good points. the democratic party is more inclusive than the republican party. I think you get a bit carried away when you speak of the republican party as minority rule. The majority of this country is white and christian that does not mean that we have to be divided by gender, race, religion,etc. . Mike

Addi, It is late, but I just read your post. I sense that you have suffered some perceived persecution or discrimination since you have been in the US. This is unfortunate. I get the feeling that to rectify your feelings, you switched "horses" politically in spite of your conservative philosophy. Hence, you want to blame the "white" Republicans for not representing America. Unfortunately, the philosophy of the Democrats is to maintain or acquire power regardless of the method or the cost. They will resort to almost any unscrupulous method to win an election. This includes outright lies, distortions of the truth, redistribution of income, disrespect for the law (if it has a negative effect on a Democrat...Clinton), and pandering to all minorities and special interest groups in order to buy their votes. These tactics are unethical and should be illegal, but it is the way of the Democratic party. If these tactics go unchecked, it could lead to a socialist government in the US. The Republicans would love to have a greater minority representation and that might happen some day. 30% of minorities are conservative but still vote for Democrats anyway. Many women do not agree with the perceived Republican position on abortion. I would expect that position to be modified as we head into the next election. Darrell
