There may be a core of the independents who remain so through each election, but it is purely a numerical computation from one election to the next.
One day minority voters are going to realize that the liberal agenda of entitlement programs effectively suppresses them and makes them dependent on the party consistently increasing entitlements. And the liberals are "dependent" on the minority voters to get re-elected so they can piss off the conservatives' tax money staying in office. Gore, Kerry, and Obama have done NOTHING to advance the betterment of the minority communities in this country, nor have they done anything to create in the minority communities a self-respect and a respect for others.
