Republicans can't win the "latino vote" because "latinos" are NOT AMERICANS!

Wake up!

The war for America is over and we lost. We will NEVER regain the constitutional republic that was once this great nation by voting in our banana republic like elections.

It's time for Americans to consider other options.

Their statements on the Trayvon Martin case shows the Republican Party doesn’t want more hispanic votes. They want amnesty.

When they stand up for an hispanic defending himself against a negro instead of condemning him they’ll get more hispanic votes.

I probably should have used “Hispanic” but the point is the same

Hispanics want to suckle at the same teet as their darker American friends. the only thing we can hope for is that they fight over the same nipple, but those who pay taxes will be bled dry before that.

In a word: Albuquerque.

The problem is that rural Latinos (and those of European descent) are more likely to be hard-working, self-reliant individualists, and urban people ... aren't.

Another commentator pointed out that Rubio is another pipe dream. His family are of Iberian descent, thus not one of them. He is considered by the vast majority of Hispanics as white as Mitt Romney.

Well Exactly:

There is no way we can buy Hispanic votes, Black votes, Homo votes, and baby killer votes and still be a Republican party.

If the Republicans start buying those votes——and I think the RINO’s will try, they will lose the votes they have.

Lets face it Americans have learned to give themselves money and America is going down the drain.

If that is the case, then the whole problem permeates across most racial, religious lines (with the exception of the black electorate at this time). A political civil war is being fought and contrary to Freeper logic it ain't North vs. South or white vs. a given minority group. It's rural vs. urban with probably the suburbanites being the current swing voters.

If this political civil war exists, which probably is the case, then I believe all is lost because the urban populations are growing faster than the rural ones. The result will be similar to Canada and Europe where urban populations just have too many numbers to be overcome by rural voters.

If that was the answer, NM-3 in the northern portion of the state would have shown the same results. Instead the vote in the four most Hispanic counties ranged between 79 and 83% for Obama. They have been on the government teat for so long up there nothing will draw them away from it. But part of the problem is of the liberals own making - the enviro-nazis in trendy Santa Fe (together with the Sierra Club, NRDC and the Wilderness Society nationally) have succeeded in shutting down all natural resource development in that area (not counting the San Juan county area). Mining and lumbering are dead and they provided good jobs for many whose families have lived there for hundreds of years.

Steve Pearce won or nearly tied in counties which voted Democratic for President - Examples Socorro Pearce won 56-42%, Obama 54-38%, Cibola Pearce lost 49-50% Obama 62-33%. He has a message that resonates - jobs and economic development and though SE NM has both he can point to that success as a beacon for what enterprise and business can accomplish when not hobbled by government redtape and bureaucracy.

The problem in a nutshell: you can’t attract Hispanic voters of Mexican background by appealing to family values when most such families have family members or friends who have been deported back to Mexico.

Now, here is the mystery: Obama has deported *more* illegals than Bush, but is perceived as more friendly to illegals than Romney.

That’s a major messaging failure by Republicans.

NM-3 is different, as you say, but that’s like saying my thesis doesn’t apply to Ann Arbor. If you know NM, then you know what a haven Sante Fe and points North are for every sort of liberal whack-job. That means Hispanics living there are likely to be dependents of various kinds, and to be encouraged in their dependency. It’s more common for that dependency class to be fostered in big cities like ABQ, but the disease isn’t exclusive to urbanity.

No ONE is assimilable anymore. Based on their work ethic, entrepreneurship, education, and drive, Asians should not be an 0bama constituency. But they went in the same direction as Hispanics in this election. Even many people in this forum, as a reaction to what they're seeing, are increasingly thinking of themselves as "White" Americans.

But there are no "White" Americans, anymore than their are African-Americans or Asian-Americans. There are only Americans, or else, there no longer is an America at all.

If only Republicans relented on their Neanderthal views regarding the immigration rule of law, the message will run...

Sorry Sally. I will never "relent" my Neanderthal views of criminals.
I will always have Neanthethal views toward rapists, robbers, muggers, bank robbers, child molesters, the list of crimes is endless.
If you are serious, start a national movement to eliminate all our immigration laws. I dare you. Think about the hero you'll be if it succeeds.

By the way, I have been a registered Democrat all my life

we lost the young cuban vote. Mom and dad come over from the biggest hellhole on earth and one generation later, they vote with the enemy.
We also lost the asian vote. Huge problem, i have no answers, but armed waiting for the first spark.

I don't want to live in "Los Estados Unitos". The Rove-Kristol wing keeps telling us we need to accept the invaders. They are retards, plain and simple. "Latinos" voted for Obama at 70%. How will adding 10 million of them help the GOP *ever* win an election again? Amnesty = The End of the GOP. Blacks, Asians, Mexicans and Jews all vote for the Socialist/Fascist Obama regime at rates between 70% and 95%. More of any of them means more Democratic control. Whites need to wake up and vote their race, like everyone else in America. Duh. Self-hating white people who vote Democratic are saying "go ahead, discriminate against my kids in favor of those black, brown and yellow kids. I agree!

That is a deep self hatred and spiritual sickness there.
