		<description><![CDATA[This article is statistical nonsense.


The issue isn&#039;t that Republicans captured 27% of the Hispanic vote.  The issue is that only 6% of declared Republicans are Hispanic.  By that measure, Republicans are falling short on the outreach to Latinos.


Blacks are 13% of the general population, but only 2% of the Republican Party.


Asians: 5% of the general population, only 1% of the Republican Party.


As it turns out, Hispanics and Asians declare themselves independents at a higher rate than whites, so they are the true &quot;swing voters.&quot;  And lately, they&#039;ve been avoiding the Republican Party like the plague.


There are only two major political parties in America, so if you&#039;re not near the 50% level with any particular demographic group, then you&#039;re not competing among that group.  That&#039;s the correct comparison, and by that analysis, the GOP is only becoming older, whiter, and more masculine.

		<description><![CDATA[When America grows up, we will see each voter as an individual, not by skin color or ethnicity.  Identity politics is the Democratic party&#039;s game, it should not be the Republicans.   
 
We need a national discussion about the divisive and harmful effects of identifying each other by our skin colors or genders.  Grouping people is a collectivist trait, not an individualist trait.  Identity politics is harmful for the Republic, not helpful.   
 
We need to get beyond it.  It doesn&#039;t matter what the chart says.  It is irrelevant.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I made a reply that is somewhat buried, so I am copying it here. 
 
If we take the ratios given and make a room full of 1000 people for each group, here&#039;s how it would look (Note that I had to adjust the &quot;America&quot; numbers a little since the percentages given only add up to 97%. I used the same ratios to make it add up to 100%.) 
 
America: 
White 649 
Hispanic 165 
Asian 52 
Black 134 
 
Republican Voters: 
White 855 
Hispanic 98 
Asian 29 
Black 18 
 
Democrat Voters: 
White 482 
Hispanic 217 
Asian 70 
Black 231  
 
Hope this helps! ]]></description>

No, even though both parties are off, the Republicans are off by more. If we take the ratios given and make a room full of 1000 people for each group, here&#039;s how it would look (Note that I had to adjust the &quot;America&quot; numbers a little since the percentages given only add up to 97%. I used the same ratios to make it add up to 100%.) 
 
America: 
White 649 
Hispanic 165 
Asian 52 
Black 134 
 
Republican Voters 
White 855 
Hispanic 98 
Asian 29 
Black 18 
 
Democrat Voters 
White 482 
Hispanic 217 
Asian 70 
Black 231 
 
So both Republican and Democrats are off on whites by a similar amount; Republicans have more, Democrats have fewer. 
 
However, when you get to the minorities, the Democrats are off by a factor of less than 2 for any given minority group. The Republicans, on the other hand, are off in the other direction by a factor of 7.4 in the case of blacks. So this makes the Republicans more different from America than Democrats. 
 
Again, however, this is not a criticism of Republicans&#039; message. It is only an attempt to create an accurate picture given the claim of this article. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you had two rooms with 100 people neither party would look much like America. Yes, the GOP room would look mostly white, but that&#039;s because America IS mostly white.  The Democrat party&#039;s room would be far more minority dominant than the GOP room. If someone crunched the numbers it would be interesting to see. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They don&#039;t get what you&#039;re saying.The Democrat party is much less representative of the electorate than is the GOP because it has a hugely disproportionate percentage of minorites. Of course both parties are still majority white, numerically, because whites make up the largest slice of the pie. Based on their numbers in the population, black and Hispanic issues should bot exert a strong influence on either party. But the Democrats have inflated the influence of minority voters by pandering to them in the form of relaxed immigration enfocement and entitlements. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You&#039;re off base here. I agree with you that for either party to genuinely represent the U.S. electorate it would garner half the vote for each group. What he&#039;s saying is that the Democrats are way overrepresented by minorities.While it&#039;s true that the GOP is mostly white, so is the country. The white vote came closest to representing the actual makeup of the electorate at 39% for Obama and 59% for Romney, a twenty point spread. But when you look at Hispanic voter the trends skew badly with 71% going for Obama and just 27% for Romney, a 44 point difference. With blacks it&#039;s really out of joint. Ninety-three percent of blacks went for Obama while only 6% voted ror Romney, an 87 point difference. With Asians its the same, 73% went for Obama and 26% for Romney, a 47-point difference. So the point taken is correct. The GOP is closer to resembling the actual racial makeup of the U.S. than is the Democratic Party, which is far more black, Hispanice, and Asian than the rest of the country.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps we could end much of this identity and group focused politics if we passed a law or a constitutional amendment forbidding the government from collecting any data and creating any statistics by race, ethnicity, creed or national origin other than national origin of those wishing to immigrate.  However, data could still be collected based on geographic definitions.   As anyone knows who has worked in a large organization, statistics can take on a life of their own.    
 
 If we want to be a colorblind society the way that MLK envisioned it, the government&#039;s &quot;trackers and trenders&quot; should be colorblind.  Just think about how much we could downsize government!  There are hundreds, if not thousands, of federal government jobs dedicated to this activity.  If a political party or private organization wants to try and collect this information, so be it.   But having the government collect it and publish it only perpetuates many of our problems.

		<description><![CDATA[I think what these graphs are really trying to say is each of the minorities political views are quite divergent from the nation as a whole.  The republicans have &quot;tried&quot; to appeal to the nation as a whole but the democrats have built their ranks by appealing to subgroups.  Both parties should be focused on the future America as a whole irrespective of group and identity labels.  ]]></description>

say that its in the history books in public scrools, but its not! 
Another devious anti-American attack to not teach our

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m sorry, but this graph means absolutely nothing like what they are trying to make it say. Comparing the percentage of a demographic&#039;s vote and the percentage of a demographic&#039;s portion of american population produces quite literally a false statement. What WOULD mean something in comparison to the domographics of the nation would be a comparing it to the demographics of the democratic and republican partys. This would have the ability to show that (for instance) that if 63% of the nation is white, approximately 60% of the republican party was white, and so on. Comparing demographic to vote percentage just shows the relative voting &quot;strength&quot; or influence that each party derives out of those same demographics. I.E. If 13% of the nation is black, and 93% of blacks voted for Obama, then mathematicly ( 0.13 x .93 ) Obama got 12% of the nation&#039;s vote just from that demographic. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Comparing registered voters and votes cast as compared to population,  is going to get you whaaat?  Total votes cast were 116 million.  Owebama won with 3 million, or 1% of the population.  That was nowhere near a grand slam nor a mandate for anything, and a majority of nothing because the registered voters do not reflect the population, and it&#039;s not even representative in the votes because even the registered voters didn&#039;t all vote.  The fact is that 1% more of Americans cast the stupid vote and put an islamofascist commie back in our White House for the second term.  And the stupid, apparently, haven&#039;t woken up from the nightmare of smarmy promises and lies from a communist  promising a utopia that has never existed on the planet. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Echoing the criticism made by Henry Gomez, let me also provide a means by which the data provided can be used to arrive at a relevant comparison: 
 
For example, 63 out of 100 of Americans are white, 59% of them voted Republican, so we have 37.17 whites voting Repulican. Following this pattern, we get the racial breakdown of the Republican vote:  
 
37.17 - White - 85.84% 
  4.05 - Hispa -  9.35% 
  1.30 - Asian -  3.00% 
  0.78 - Black -  1.80% 
 -------.               ------- 
 43.30 - Total -100.00% (rounding difference) 
 
So that is the reality, and the truth is, we Republicans have some work to do. 
 
On a related note, following the pattern from post # 19, the Democrat percentages work out this way:  
 
24.57 - White - 48.21% 
 10.65 - Hispa - 20.90% 
   3.65 - Asian -  7.16% 
 12.09 - Black - 23.72% 
 -------                ------- 
 43.30 - Total -100.00% (rounding difference)

		<description><![CDATA[Daniel, can we now add math and logic to the growing list of your illiteracies? 
Thank goodness for sites like FPM, huh?  Without them, you&#039;d be out there with your squeegee and a bucket of dirty water. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This arguement is intellectually dishonest.  If Asian only represet  5% of the population and republicans only garner 26% of the vote, but democrats get 73% of that vote, then it is the democrats that are closer to the whole 5%.  The closer you get to 100% of that demographic the closer you are to the representation within the population.   
 
And I&#039;m a republican, but we shouldn&#039;t be deceived by such misleading stats.  The article should be pulled it really is that bad.  The graphs actually show the exact opposite of the arguement put forth.  
 
Thanks.      ]]></description>
