You’re welcome. Like all the races in Texas last year, it was still a blowout, 20 points (i.e., 60-40). Sure, it should be higher, but the first 12 points that the Democrats get is the black vote. From there, they only managed to get another 28% of the vote, pretty much split between Hispanics and Whites...so of the 70% of the Texas vote that was white, all but 18% voted Republican...hence the blowout.
I realized that the Dems tried to make a push here, thinking they could get Hispanics to vote as monolithically as blacks, but the Hispanics did not take the bait and nearly split down the middle.
If Hispanics continue to split their vote near-evenly, then the Dems do not stand a chance in Texas (or in any other state where Hispanics split their vote)...although the numbers will appear tighter than they really are.
“A lot of people carry in Utah.”
in large part due to the state’s “compassionate” approach to “immigration”. Salt Lake is a much more dangerous place over the past 25 years. just watch the Salt Lake TV station news for a week and you’ll notice a disturbing trend.
“It’s not just Utah. Texas is becoming more liberal also.
In fact I can’t think of a state which is becoming more conservative.”
Yet Reagan expanded conservatism in America.
He had the knowledge, skill to explain it in ways which made the philosophy attractive.
Sadly I do not get the same sense in our political system these days.
A few of the candidates have bits and pieces, but nobody puts it all together.
They each tend to preach to their own little safe choir.
Yep.
It's a direct quote of a police captain.
Anyway, my money is on the dead perp being an illegal alien.
Probably also at least one of the victims:
Through translator Yajaira Cruz, pickup owner Luis Zarate said a man with a bicycle approached his truck while Zarate was doing landscaping work with a crew. After noticing the man near the vehicle, he called out to him, but the man jumped into the truck and drove away leaving the bike. He said he had left the keys in the truck.
He’s lucky the SUV didn’t run him over first. Those SUV’s are evil!
I thought that only happened in Video games.
Every now and then you read something like this.....
.... and suddenly, the world seems like a more hopeful place :)
And the car jacker was just turning his life around! Well, he got some help ensuring he would not live a life of crime.
“I suppose they’re letting Word do the editing.”
As in GOOGLE searching FAILURE and coming up with DUBYA ?
My guess is, it's those that immigrated here legally that don't vote Communist, while those that hop the border and are voting do vote Communist, because of the handouts, free healthcare and schooling and whatnot.
are you kidding. He led the church choir. Was thinking of becoming a doctor. Was planning on heading to the rain forest to save everything and everyone!!!!! he was gonna cure cancer it tell ya!!!
Macabre humor but I am sitting here laughing!
That’s most likely...which is why the Dems are pushing so hard to legalize them, particularly before they’re able learn English and actually participate in our society.
Washington Times reported that the Obama administration told the immigration judge that amnesty was already underway.
(In other words, that his ruling is meaningless)
We shall see...as long as Congress doesn’t step in EVERYTHING that the President does is reversible.
Unfortunately, the path to citizenship has become so cheap and easy lately, that it is less the case now even for legal immigrants.
