Re: So why is it that the GOP has so few minorities, and the Dems have so many?
Doesn't the idea go all the way back to Nixon?
There's a reason why I say that the Mississippi Delta is the very deepest of the Deep South - there is no place more societally Southern. You might call Virginia "Southern", but most of those of us from the Deep South don't really consider Virginia part of the Deep South - you're on the border of the Mason-Dixon, you're right next door to DC...your "Southerness" is rather suspect to say the least. Virginia's about as societally Southern as Florida - which ain't saying much, since Florida's nothing but the Great Northern Retirement Home.
If you really want to learn what the Deep South is like, you need to come live for a couple decades in Mississippi, Alabama, or Louisiana - even Arkansas, Tennessee, and Georgia aren't societally Southern to the same degree.
And as to your other snarky comment, it's not "Obama declaring success...only a few days after enrollment closed". That was Obama quoting what had been pointed out by most of the media. And if you'll recall, the ACA was a REPUBLICAN idea, first implemented by a REPUBLICAN who happened to be the 2012 nominee for president by the REPUBLICAN party. We took it and made it work...but because the one who made it work nationwide has a (D) behind his name, well, THAT means it's tyranny!!!!

Knock off the baiting and personal comments or be escorted from the thread, possibly lugging points.
