Guess who gave Bush the most new votes in 2004?
Hispanics.
And who is thisi "40%" you are speaking of?
I think things are definitely stirring more than usual. The immigration thing is by far the worst; but the Dubai ports fiasco was no walk in the park. Those who think this is just conservatives being inconsolable crybabies are deluding themselves.
Goodnight, jazusamo. :)

No, they're trying to effect public policy. That's a very American thing to do, isn't it?
EV, who is the "majority," you've mentioned?
Rest well, onyx. Bedtime for bonzo here too. ;)
Nobody is blowing it off; but it's not as bad as people make it out to be.
The problem is that the ones that push these issues, i.e., immigration or, for instance, Terri Schiavo, don't seem to understand that their strident demands for all to agree turn most people off.
But as I said, FR doesn't reflect anything close to the real world.
Oh, you poor dilluted soul!
You think that this kind of thing matters to anti-immigrant, even, I'll give 'some' of them the benefit of the doubt and call them anti-illegal-immigrant extremists?
Clearly, since they broke a law, are devestating our economy (witness, 4% unemployment. 4%! The 90% of Economist that say it's a boon to the economy are wrong, clearly, because I say so.), and are culturally backwards (even though they are more likely then their American counterparts to be involved in church and family), and should instantly be deported at least, if not executed.
They are INVADERS! They should be BURNED AT THE STAKE!
It's not enough to say, "OK, well, let's be realistic. Let's strenghten border security, but allow for a more realistic flow of immigrants (so, you know, the border security actually 'works' as opposed to stiking your finger in a breaking dam) and not talk about any of this impossible deportation-of-12-million-people (because, you know, that wouldn't, say, cost billions on top of devestating our GDP) nonsense."
It's only enough to demand 100% deportation and NO more immigrants legally.
Of course, now it's about 'legal' immigration, which most of them oppose too when you press them on specific issues, but don't change the subject.
OK, I'm done now. You get the idea.
blah blah blah
Will you fair weather voters just ONCE take the time and tell us what the dems plans are regarding the illegals?
They had 8 years with Clinton - who had no 9-11, Katrina, etc to deal with -
What did they do about the borders????The problem has been there for decades.
Seems to me, you are following the Pied Piper Dems who have whipped this issue up to a fury, knowing there'd be enough sheeple to be suckered in.
Your list just proves that immigration has just moved into the big time.
Only topped by gas prices, the economy and an ongoing war?
Not bad...
"But as I said, FR doesn't reflect anything close to the real world."
It does on that pesky immigration thing.
No, it doesn't. Not even close.
But of course - you just go vote for all those "conservative democrats"
by the way, the party name is spelled REPUBLICAN. give it another stab - 3rd times the charm
"But as I said, FR doesn't reflect anything close to the real world."
Your right about that. However you need to realize that America is pissed off about this immigration issue. America doesn't want to be Mexico. Do everyone a favor and instead of blaming the far right for being pissed(not blaming you, cause I'm not doing anything constructive about it either), we should all work together to force congress into an enforcement first policy. If they don't Republicans will lose.
If you really care what happens the best way to prevent it, is to somehow change the policy, and fast.
The majority of Republicans, who want their elected Republican leaders to act like conservatives, and not like liberals.
Yeah, right in front of "not sure" and "other"
