At least 90% of the Republican party is "White Christian". |
|
Do we have demographics? If ths figure is less than 90%, I'll be shocked.
Although, come to think of it, there's lots of Cuban Repukes down here in Florida. Maybe they'll throw off the average.

3. Dean should have said "purple Christians" |

Between the disgraceful mocking Band-Aids to the ink on the fingers...they seemed more purple at the convention than anything.

2. these south fla cubans |
|
are so diehard it's crazy. One told me yesterday "If you don't agree with Bush you are a communist"
I do see some in the younger generations with some common sense though.

They feel that JFK betrayed them, and I can't entirely disagree.
I'm Cuban-American, by the way.

5. Many of them (the south fla cubans) are... |
|
...as white as they come. They are descendants and remnants of the Bautistas, descendants of Spaniards. European. White.

8. I didn't mean to generalize, |

I took a lot of harsh abuse from Miami Cubans during the election season, I just couldn't figure it out.

People bragging about who they are, then acting outraged when someone else describes them the same way as they describe themselves.
:rofl:

9. I think I heard something about 88% of Bush's 2004 vote were from whites. |
|
Not sure about the demographics for Christians, but I imagine it was quite large.

12. White males and weekly churchgoers are the ONLY demographic groups |
|
that consistently vote Republican. Even white females tip Dem more often than not. Think about it.
