The most ominous return was a drop of almost 10 percentage points in the Hispanic vote.

Here is the supreme irony; all we read on this forum are "real, true conservatives" demanding their pound of flesh from Bush day after day -- "We put him in office and he's deserted us!" -- blah blah blah.

When, in fact, it was the Hispanics who put Bush in office in 2000 and 2004, not the "real, true" conservatives.

I once tried to point out to an unappeasable "I'm gonna take my vote and stay home if Bush doesn't..." poster that usuing his own rational, the Hispanics were entitled to demand things from Bush, too..........but do you think they saw it that way?

I agree with everything you said, but I want to add this. The people who like to use the phrase "true conservatives" should Google the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

Hah!
Perhaps you will provide figures to back up that ridiculous assertion.
Meanwhile, you could do well to read this, from Hugh Hewitt:

Hispanic vote put no one in power. In both 2000 and 2004, Hispanics in their majority voted for the RATS, like they always do.
Left to them we would have won nothing.
