"I know freepers don't like to hear this, but a lot of the really over-the-top anti-illegal rhetoric is just killing R candidates around here."Conservatives" aren't voting because they've been told 24/7 for 2 years by bogus trojan-horse 'conservatives' like Michael Savage working on behalf of dems that this president & his party don't care about 'borders,language & culture'& they'd be better off with dems than voting for hispanic-loving rinos.And they bought it!"
You are exactly right. Putting Tom Tancredo and Pat Buchanan on the TV to speak out against Illegal immigration as GOP spokesmen (yes I know Pat is not offcially a Republican, but the meida labels him as one) is killing the GOP with voters in the Hispanic communitty that probably subscribe to alot of our agenda. Stuff like strong miltary, faith, guns, pro life, anit Gay rights, etc., etc.
I know this is true. Henry touted his pro-life record in ads, stating that Ciros voted for partial-birth abortion. Henry couldn't overcome the Democratic machines in the southern counties, Republican voter turnout was abysmal and National DNC really was out to get this seat.
