How Can McCain Be Losing Latinos?

Real Clear Politics ^ | 10/26/08 | Ruben Navarrette

[Sherman Logan]

As I understand it, upwards of 78% of illegal immigrants are hispanic.

[Blue State Insurgent]

So true. The GOP also shoved out the very constituency the party was created for: Black Americans.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

All the data shows McCain is faring poorly among Hispanics...even though he is one of the most liberal on illegal alieninsm...

After this election...the GOP needs to purge their party of the pro-illegal/anti-American element. You cant win elections pandering on a race-based issue...the Dems win on race, and the GOP loses potential real American voters in both parties.

This myth the California was lost by the GOP for being pro-American/anti-illegal is nonsense. The voters of CAL passed referndum limiting services to illegals...and it got tossed in court.

I will not waste my vote on McCain because of his support for illegal alienism. I will not vote for a candidate who values the rights of illegal aliens over the rights of American citizens

If you are weak and soft in dealing with illegals...refusing to send them back...and keeping pour US borders unsecure...HOW am I supposed to trust you in dealing with Islamic terrorists and national security??

Its time for the GOP to rid itself of its pro-illegal element

[eclecticEel]

The vast majority of illegal immigrants are Hispanic; while illegals do come from every country on the globe, any effort to crack down on them will invariably affect Hispanics more than any other ethnic group. We can’t escape from these demographic realities, regardless of what political correctness might demand.

Believe what you want; you haven’t shown any documentation that proves he isn’t. To me O’Bomber will always be my “Little Arab-American.”

[Boucheau]

Well we are either going to fire-up some white nationalism or we have to teach our kids to not be punching bags for the loony left.

You can tell white jokes all day and not face serious resistance — this is racism just the same.

Many white people use the phrase “reverse racsim” as if racism only comes from white people. It’s insanity and not healthy for young whites — but I guess that’s the point, isn’t it?

[Reagan69]

I’ve said all along LATINOS WILL VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE (& party) THAT PROMISES TO GIVE THEM THE MOST.

Period.

[Boucheau]

“And I had to sit through a talk by a GOP hopeful (for local office) last year that was nothing but an attack on Hispanic immigrants.”

Care to give more details on this claim?

It seems we would have heard about this if it happened.

[Freedom_Fighter_2001]

The GOP also shoved out the very constituency the party was created for: Black Americans.

Pray tell, when and where did this putsch occur?

[BnBlFlag]

“We should stand for freedom. not any fears of racial persecution”
A noble idea and one which, in priciple, I agree with. However, the other side doesn’t see it that way. The probability of Racial Persecution (of Whites) is very real. In fact it’s been happening for years. What do you think “affirmative action” is?
But let Obama get “selected” and you won’t believe whats happens. The Racist Blacks will feel like they can get away with anything including bashing your head in.
Oh, and they won’t care about you’re “enlightened” opinions.

[Boucheau]

“Chinese immigrants (massive numbers of illegals, having every health problem known to God and man, not to mention organized crime)”

You are arguing against stereotypes, bigotry and racism, are you not?

[Boucheau]

“They read Free Republic and got grossed out by all the hatred expressed towards them here.”

TROLL

I haven’t seen it...can you dig-up some of this “hate” on FreeRepublic?

[roses of sharon]

I’ve said all along LATINOS WILL VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE (& party) THAT PROMISES TO GIVE THEM THE MOST.

Like I have said all along, AMERICANS will vote for the candidate that gives them gov goodies.

The problem is that they are no longer real Americans once they give in to this temptation.

[roses of sharon]

Is there such a thing as white nationalism? Do they have any web sites?

Thanks!

[Big Horn]

I doubt if Latinos vote black.

[Jim Noble]

A call for people to come together based on nothing but skin color? That's really pathetic.

Wake up and smell the gasoline, white boy:

[AnotherUnixGeek]

“How many white folks say with pride, “I am a white person”? Not many.”

Taking pride in accomplishments is justified - being a good citizen, a patriot, a member in good standing of the community are all things to be proud of. People who claim pride in the color of their skin are pathetic, regardless of the color.

[TankerKC]

...he told me that he hopes Latinos will judge him on his own merits and not punish him for the sins of his party, which he readily acknowledges.

Barf. It's statements like that that make me think Juan needs to lose.

Then I regain my senses.

[Blue State Insurgent]

The day the GOP didn't want claim MLK jr. as its own.

[dljordan]

“”When asked, who/what are you?” How many white folks say with pride, “I am a white person”? Not many.”

Maybe because we’ve been subjected to 40 years of brainwashing?
