The inscription on the Statue of Liberty should be changed to “Give me your tired huddled masses yearning for freebies.”
The answer is definitely not to pander
Hammer them hard on gay marriage too. Hispanics don't like faggots either.
Can be summed up in two words: free stuff
I wish I could still believe that, but I don't. Too many illegals were allowed to flood our country, and have been bought off by the Dems already.
Thus the majority of Hispanics are already committed Dems and will not change this voting habit, even if our side does a good job explaining why our traditional free enterprise system was better than the current welfare state.
The charge the GOP is too white is the biggest 'dog whistle' ever devised.
As I posted elsewhere, the culture has a different view of government. When in power, take all you can for yourself. You are the law.
That is NOT our system. These people are the political losers in their home countries. Now they are using the SEIU and others to take over our system to turn it into THEIR corrupt system.
The truth is that they come from a infantile culture where some rich, powerful, monarch or one sort or another leads them around by the nose.
They got the worst of europes government style. Between Austrian monarchs, the Spanish, the Catholic church in earlier eras that justified these monarchs, etc,, the Mexicans simply do not have a tradition of the individual being empowered to rule the government.
Hundreds of years of experience tells them they should be ruled over. With a vote, they select the one that will be a good parent for the child they emotionally are.
Give all Hispanics free cable, free TV’s, Free Ipads!!!
The whole idea of identity politics is hurting the GOP and conservatives.
The narrative is that anybody who is allegedly some oppressed minority should vote Democrat.
This includes any with some grievance, including black, Hispanic, Asian, young people, girls worried about birth control, enviro extremists, poor people, single mothers, you name it.
The liberals are running with the narrative that so many people are victims, and that these victims should vote Democrat.
The ugly truth is that Democrats have no solutions to problems. The liberals bitch about who is to blame for this and that, but don’t offer any constructive solutions to the alleged problems. And the icing on the cake is that we’re all victims somehow.
Hispanics are generally far more morally conservative than most other American demographic groups. Moral conservatism hasn’t been implemented in politics for several decades. For example, over 3 decades of feminism and homosexualism pushed in politics by both parties.
The GOP promised jobs. The Dems promised handouts.
The GOP ran a proven job creator. The Dems ran a community organizer.
While I don’t doubt for a moment that there was massive vote fraud—especially in the inner city areas that have no bipartisan oversight-—I do feel the republic is doomed. Going straight down the toilet. In ancient Rome, first in the latter stages of the old republic, then during the empire, politicians and emperors bought off the urban masses (most of whom did not work) with free stuff-—free food, free grain, free spectacles in their great stadiums. We’ve seen this story before. We have not really progressed since then. Welcome to hell. Welcome to the jungle. Our limited government constitutional republic first came under assault during the Woodrow Wilson Administration. Then the New Deal basically killed it off. Now we have Obama in there essentially following the footsteps of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Take over the key industries. Redistribute wealth. Make most people dependent on the government. Throw in some vote rigging in the one-party inner city districts and precincts. That’s how Chavez stays in power. That’s how Obama stays in power. The work ethic is gone. It’s all about the free stuff. The DJIA is now down over 100 points again. I can’t believe how many stupid morons live in this country.
Oh gimme a break they are natural democrats because they come from a socialist country where socialism does not work because the goodies can’t come fast enough or plentiful enough and if you complain your beloved Government see’s that you become a vapor or threaten you into silence whats not understood is that when they transfer that political power to a freedom structure freedom is no more how can you not see the very thing you are running from {poverty and oppression} follow them here with their votes for more goodies paid for by the very folks who are more than anxious to give wages to a person who would work for less wages than normal just to boost the bottom line
It’s not just the illegal perpetrating these socialist acts but the employer who is looking to cheat the government out of revenue who is also dragging the dead carcass of socialism whith it to the future ......
Self-ping.
There is ABSOLUTELY nothing you can do about this matter.
This election confirmed that we are now going to be a Communist country and Obama will bleed every penny he can to give it to the rest of the world until everyone makes the same level of income. (HIS VERY WORDS).
Good luck with spinning your wheels because that is ALL you will be doing from here on out.
Venal American politicians then create a "need" to "reach out" to the illegals; as for one group of politicians the Mexican represents votes and for the other group of politicians low labor costs for their constituents.
The net result of aforementioned alien influence will be governance by an alien people in the United States. A conquest if you please.
Beginning in the 8th century with the Muslim conquest, Spain /Hispania/alAndulusia lost its Celtic and Germanic ideals of individual liberty and its Roman ideals of republican govt. In its place the idea of the caudillo/alcalde/strongman form of govt arose, fed by the Islamic caliphate. When the reconquista ended this political direction was married to the new idea of nation state and the right of divine absolutism. The role of the Catholic Church exacerbated these political assaults on liberty. Now 500+ years later when you look at hispanic political culture worldwide you see no love of liberty but a great popular investment in the strongman govt who panders to the masses. The idea of an hispanic culture creating and sustaining a successful democratic republic with individual liberty as its core is unlikely. hence the affinity of Hispanic Americans for liberal democrat ideas of big govt and statism.

I hate abortion and consider it to be a big political issue. The numbers say that the Republicans should be cleaning up on this issue. More and more people say they are against abortion. Anybody can say they are against abortion, but how do they vote on it? I wonder if there are many people who are afraid to tell a pollster they are for killing babies, but, in the privacy of the voting booth, vote for abortion? I think that if we had a real “Truth Machine” that could read people’s minds, the blacks and Mexicans would run from the Democrat party. Those white liberals are all for helping the born blacks and Mexicans, but put the old truth machine on them and ask them their feelings about increasing the total numbers of blacks and Mexicans in their neighborhoods and you would see ABORTION!!! Light up in their brains. The white liberals see welfare as the means of assuaging their guilty consciences and minimally helping the blacks and Mexicans. But, they see abortion as the long-term strategy to deal with blacks and Mexicans. And the Blacks and Mexicans vote for the Democrats! The flaw in the white liberal thinking is that the Mexicans are taking the welfare and still having kids.
