Nonsense. The Hispanic vote isn’t going to conservatives anyway and we probably should stop daydreaming about it.

Oh please. Nobody said the Dems were alienating Hispanics when they tore apart the supremely well qualified Miguel Estrada and destroyed his nomination.

I’m really tired of identity politics. The GOP needs to start banging the drum that they could care less about anyone’s race and that anyone who mentions it is clearly racist. That’s how the argument should be framed.

Well they’ve sure been alienating Conservatives.

“I think we can ill afford to lose their support in the future when we’re attempting to rebuild the Republican Party nationally,” she said.”
Yep. Except, then we are no longer the Republican Party when we start pandering. Dipsh*t...what the hell happened to Maine? Overrun by Massholes?

Snowe's statements make about as much sense as saying you could alienate white voters by refusing to confirm David Duke.
Yeah, I know, there is a higher percentage of Hispanic racists than white racists, but the Republicans aren't going to outdo the Democrats in pandering to them. Just see how much good Hispandering did for John McCain's vote totals!

raise "a serious concern" about alienating their Hispanic constituencies It would alienate only the racist Hispanics. ....who of course would never vote GOP anyway.

Sotomayor was incompetent to sit on the High Court.
Enough of this nonsense. You’re “alientating” ME and millions more like me. We’re a helluva lot more important than any racist voters you are pandering to.
To: rabscuttle385
These dolts are clueless when it comes to conservative principles. Conservatives are colorblind no matter their race. To suggest that all Hispanics are hopelessly Liberal is racist in itself!

SO?
8 years of GW Bush pandering didn’t help.
His hispanic Supreme Court and other high court nominees didn’t result in any increase in hispanic or media support.
Why bother?
Stick to principals and let the dem’s pander.

Kissing the ass of La Raza will win the GOP no plaudits, but will embolden them in their desire to make the US a Latin American colony.

WFC? Hispanics want to make us into Nuevo Mexico, it seems. They won’t vote for conservatives (although I realize the fallacy of that argument with regards to Snowe).
Yet another example of the enemy telling us how we should act in order to gain power...insanity...
