"Dick Morris said tonight on Fox that the Repub. party is heading for extinction due to the increase in minorities in the U.S., that more and more states are now "blue" Dem. ones. I thought the trend was going the other way since Sept. 11 and the leadership of Pres. Bush. What do you think?"

He is correct. However his analysis is off. The Black population is static. It has been 12-13% for at least 4 decade of years. It votes Democratic 90%. There are signs that it might become more conservative in the future but it is not likely to change that much. For the Repubs to run Condi Rice or Powell in 2008, as Morris suggest is a desperate move that will insure a Dem win. When Roe vs Wade found a constitutional right to abortion in the penumbra of the constitution the Black population has remained static ever since. It will also remain heavily dem for at least the next generation or two. The pain a prominent Black goes through if he becomes conservative is horrendous.

The Hispanic population on the other hand is exploding in our country. I saw a government projection that believes the Hispanics will constitute greater than 50% of our population by 2050. More than all other peoples combined.

The Hispanic votes 70-80% Dem. This is an abomonation that will probably change if the Repubs make room for them. They, as a group are family oriented, Christian, Pro life (or close to a majority are) hard working etc. They are natural conservatives.

If the repubs could get them to vote conservative our borders would be shut down overnight. The Dems would be shouting from the housetop.

The Cuban contingent of the Hispanic people vote majority Repub. It can be done. I believe Bush as governor received close to a majority of the hispanic vote. (someone clarify)

The other thing that needs to be done is for the Evangelical Christian to get out and vote pro life. In a House contest here in Ohio we calculated that 12% voted pro life. (Albeit the main reason is that they were not registered or didn't bother to vote.)

The reproductive figures of the whites in our country is below replacement rates. How does this make sense?

Don't underestimate the monorities. There are many bright and educated people with influence in the minority groups, who have the same beliefs and ideals as most republicans.
