—Well given I am already trapped in single party liberal-land I guess I have to just watch this nightmare play out.—
I was too. Seattle.
I bought my farm in central KY two weeks before Obama was elected and moved here last August.
I gave up a high standard of living for a high quality of life (and didn’t take much of a standard of living hit, either). It’s still like heaven on earth to us and we thank God every day that he gave us the courage to do it.
The "talking point" that irks me is the claim that Hispanics all have "very strong family values" and are all "pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, devout Catholics". If that's true, why do I see oodles of Hispanics in the Chicago area that promote the gay pride parade every year, love Obamacare, mock the Pope, and are unwed with 8 kids by 3 different fathers?
Just because we want them to all have "strong traditional family values" doesn't make this a reality. Ironically, I would actually say black voters (who vote Democrat by far greater percentages than Hispanics) are more socially conservative than Hispanics, I've never been people in "the black community" glorify the gay parade and homosexuality the way some in the "latino community" have. I don't think Hispanics are anymore "strongly socially conservative" than irish-Americans are. Sure, there are ones that are socially conservative, but millions aren't. If they were voting Democrat for "economic reasons", then you'd see a bunch of pro-life and pro-traditional marriage Democrats winning primaries in majority Hispanic areas. Where are they?

Good thinking!
bttt
Make sure this lame ass administration does not manipulate the unemployment numbers given these people will ADD to its increase....... =.=
I guess Obama is confused, he seems to think workers create jobs, not businesses. Sure that is what we need, more workers. Not to mention how many new illegals will cross now, lie or produce fraudulent documents to show they have been here to qualify for this amnesty.
