Lies, damn lies, statistics

I don't doubt for a second that this, from the Washington Post is true. "That study found that supporters of President Bush and other conservatives had stronger self-admitted and implicit biases against blacks than liberals did."

But what does it mean? Think about it - if you're a bigot, or homophobic or even anti-abortion or a born again Christian how welcome would you feel in today's Democratic party? By default you would vote GOP simply because no Democrat would ever let you even speak, let alone attempt ajustments to platforms that agree with you.
