and no amount of spin will change that
Some more folks that “just don’t get it”. Hispanic Americans do not like illegals. Folks who endured years of filling out paperwork, and shelling out large sums of money, do not like getting their hard work and sacrifice to be mocked! This is what this amnesty bill would have done: mocked their long, hard struggle to become Americans.
The ILLEGAL Hispanic voters (or future Democrats, so they hope) will punish whoever killed this bill. But they can't vote, can they?
The idea that illegal aliens would vote GOP or their children would out of gratitude for getting legal status has been conclusively debunked. What the GOP should do is pursue an immigration policy that will serve the nation’s highest interests, not out of a craven political calculation designed to win Hispanic votes in the future.
“Republicans are the party of law and order”
LOL!! Are you a Fredhead? ;-)
In fact I hope the democrat nominee in 2008 makes amnesty the centerpiece of their campaign to win all those precious Hispanic votes...
A presidential candidate that had the guts to stand up and tell the American people that amensty bill is complete madness, wins in a landslide. Reagan Democrates, Moderates, Conservatives would vote for this person. This is an issue that could change the political landscape.
There are two types of “Hispanic” voters:
There are “Hispanic” voters. They’re gonna vote overwhelmingly Democrat no matter what. They’re “victims,” and they want goodies at other people’s expense. The ‘Pubbies don’t have a chance at these votes.
Then there are Americans of Hispanic descent. They’re Americans, period. The ‘Pubbies had a shot at these votes. Unfortunately for the Hispanderers, these folks dislike illegal immigrants as much as any other American does. So, thanks to President Jorge Arbusto, John McInsane, Weepy Voinovich, Trenthorn Leghorn, Lindsey Gramnesty, and a few others, the ‘Pubbies have pi$$ed way these votes, too.
Republicans: The don’t call use The Stupid Party for nuthin...
ping
no kidding...what gain?
Bush got a little jump up in 2000 and a debatable one again in 2004 from old time Tex-Mexican and the favorite son thing...many of whom may still be with him.
Cubers used to be solid GOP.
Maybe a few Colombian or other South American aristocrat expat types....who know first hand about collectivist movements
Aside from that, Latinos vote almost as bad as most blacks or Jews.
Why we want another 150 million or so in the next generation escapes me.
Most hispanics except for a handful on this forum identify with the illegals because they are fellow hispanic travelers.
Simple as that.
Let white folks try that.
If the GOP takes it, and so far they have been, then the truth of what everybody's father has been telling them for years about the quality of free advice is proven once again....
The BIG loss for the GOP will be not from losing the illegal Mexican vote, but from losing the votes of their own Conservative base. The turncoat senators just proved that they wanted the votes of the illegal underclass more than they wanted the votes of the base that put them into office. Now they will have neither. The loyal old Republican elephants have long memories, and they won’t forget who voted wrong, come the next election of the RINOS.
Demand a border fence! Build it NOW!! Beef up the border patrol and close our borders!
