Of course they are. Question is whether they have the sand to say, 'damn straight.' More likely, they'll cry like children and go scrambling for some Hindus, darkies and wheelchair-bound lesbians to pose for the next televised Republican event.

Correction: the GOP is a white, "Judeo-Christian" party.
Which is why they're such a bunch of wankers.

Correction again: the GOP is a "Judeo-Plutocratic" party. The others are simply misguided window dressing.

I guess there wasn't much substance to Dean's promise to turn the Democratic Party back into the party of "white guys with Confederate Flags and Pickup Trucks." Not that anybody believed that was his intention.
Howard Dean can rest easy. The Republicans are not the party of "white Christians," they are the party of Wall Street speculators, corporate cronies like Cheney, AIPAC, and Ariel Sharon. So Dean and friends can just sit back and fill the the remaining political gap by staying right where they are: the party of Al Sharpton and Gloria Steinem. For the "swing vote" remainder, the Democrats and the GOP can fight it out by seeing who can come up with the best amnesty package for Mexican illegals.

[QUOTE=OPERA96]A White Christian Party! Is there anything [color=DarkRed]wrong[/color] with that?[/QUOTE] Of course there is. When a political party of a country is characterized by ethnic composition, that country is not a nation.

Nations are a group of people who share a common heritage. Typically, such a heritage includes a common race, language, religion and customs. These nations grew out of clans which grew out of families. So you can think of a nation as an extended family of sorts.
Countries are geographic and political entities. Nations and countries are not the same. For example, Iraq is a country that is composed of the nations ââ¬â Sunnis, Shiites and the Kurds. Without outside interference (of the British a century ago) these national groups would have naturally formed their own countries.
There are some cases in which a nation does not have its own country. The Cherokee Indians and the Palestinians are examples of nations who do not have their own countries.
Nationalists believe that peace and harmony is best served when nations have their own countries (self-determination). When multiple nations are within a country - that is an Empire. And Empires tend to produce friction as the various national groups compete against each other for control.

[COLOR=DarkRed]Dean: GOP 'White Christian Party' [/COLOR]
If only, it's hard enough to find a White Christian church. It's a wonderful slander, and makes the GOP voters feel better about themselves and is an obvious appeal to the AmeriKan majority of non-White Christians but the much more accurate assessment was made: the judeochristian Party! :caiphas:

I guessed that someone would point this out. A homogenous United States was a nation. The United States is no longer a nation. It's a country composed of many "nations" if peoples are nations. But what's your purpose in pointing out this distinction? I don't disagree with it.

Your post was a little subtler than I gave it credit for. I should have read a little more closely. :thumbsup:
