Haley Barbour's friends include George Bush and Dick Cheney, who are shamelessly supporting Barbour's campaign for Governor of Mississippi, a state with a history of white racism and KKK activity. Bush's grandfather also supported white racists -- he financed the Nazis during WWII.
The percentage of Republicans who are white is so embarrassing that the figure is not published. In a typical election over 85% of blacks vote democratic. The percentage of Republicans who are male is also unknown but would appear to be about 80%.
George Bush became president only through the disenfranchisement of black voters in Florida. At least 120,000 mostly black voters were deprived of their right to vote in a state that has a history of disenfranchising black voters. The indifference of the Republicans to this fact and their near-violent opposition to a fair revote, which, God knows, they would have lost, highlights their disregard of the rights of black and minority voters.
