According to exit poll results released thus far, Latino voters voted for Barack Obama over John McCain by a more than a 2-1 margin nationally: 66 percent to 31 percent. The proportion voting for the Democratic candidate is up sharply from 2004, when 55 percent of Latino voters supported John Kerry and 44 percent voted for President Bush.
Latinos are responsible for Obama's victory in New Mexico and contributed strongly to his margins in Nevada and Colorado. In New Mexico, Latinos constituted 41 percent of the electorate and voted for Obama by a 69 percent to 30 percent margin; white voters in New Mexico supported McCain 56 percent to 42 percent.

But we can reach out to latino voters with still recognizing we have borders for a reason.
Shunning all GOPers who reach out to hispanic is not the way.
“Shunning all GOPers who reach out to hispanic is not the way.”
We need to shame them - showing how they have voted for someone who will support killing Latino babies and destroy Latino families. This is how the left has done it they have divided and conquered - we need to steal this playbook we need to shame them - show how a vote for Obama is a vote for a liberal white elitist banker in Manhattan who hates Latinos and sees them as nothing but disposable workers- which is not far from the truth.
We already saw how that reaching across the aisle to his “”friends”” worked out. I swear, I felt like reaching into the TV and slapping the crap out of McCain for calling them “my friends” repeatedly. There is no way, no how that the DemocRats have EVER been McCain’s friends.
Oh I most def agree with that. Demonize the white liberals, point out how welfare is harming them, give the facts
I understand its a security issue but Savage and others made us look like racists. Unforgivable.”
THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT.
Maybe, just maybe others on here will think about that. We had this group coming to our side and yes, many of them were first generation Hispanics that were born in Mexico and other Latin American countries that I dare say came here illegally a long time ago. But they became productive citizens and believed (and still do) in alot of our principles. But when you make commercials and the focus of some peoples hate and they are people that look like you and that you can identify with, what happen last night happens and the Conservative movement DESERVES the shellacking it got.
When we divest ourselves of the Savages, Tancredos, Bucahans and other bigiots,we'll get them back.
Flame away, but the longer people on this site and our side live in denial, it might be 2022 before we get the White House and Congress back because those Bigots will finally be gone from the face of the earth.
That must be the reason blacks are almost all Democrats because Lincoln, the Republican, set them free and the Democrats controlled the racist south that hung them from trees. Is that it? ....... Prokopton
Actually, up until the late 1940's, many blacks DID vote Republican. Martin Luther King was a Republican.
Once the old "Dixiecrats" became Republicans, blacks flocked to the Democrat Party.
If we grant voting rights to illegals, they will vote Democrat by a margin of at least two-to-one, if not more. This is not a good deal for Conservatives!
“Take this crap line of reasoning elsewhere.”
We lost the LEGAL Latino vote dillweed. Do you know the difference between legal and illegal or are the lines blurred at this point? Uh huh, I thought so. You posted to me as if I were referring to illegals because you’re blind to the difference.
BTW My spouse and I donate good money to FR for the opportunity to speak freely and have done it for longer than you so check yourself.
Again, you assumed due to bias that I was referring to Illegals. I was not. McCain warned that we would lose the LEGAL Latino vote. A block that is a natural fit in our party as they are very conservative, hard working, family loving people.
We did lose that vote.
Yes indeed.
Somewhere along the line FReepers forgot that there is a difference between legal immigrants and illegal immigrants. That is what will kill our party.
The legal immigrants voted against us because of how we felt about their family members. Reagan knew better, some here do not.
Hispanics from Mexico are Christian, hard-working, and family loving. They are a natural fit for our party.
Reagan knew best. That’s my motto. If we are to compete with India and China we have to keep our population growth up. Statistically AA’s and Hispanics are reproducing way faster than whites. Since Hispanics work so hard and pass that ethic on to their kids we should be embracing them, not shunning them. They are the future of this country like it or not.
Bless you!
The Legal Latinos think we’re bigots. They have a reason to think that everytime they hear Savage or someone like him.
I always thought he was a plant. He used to run with radicals and suddenly became a bigoted “conservative” talk show host?? I don’t think so. I think he’s leading sheep to slaughter and laughing with his lib buddies all the way to the bank.
We will have to decide whether we, as FReepers, are Reagan Conservatives or Savage/Buchanan Conservatives. I know where I stand.
You are right on!
If we don’t get some more minorities in the GOP, we’ll say goodbye to any chance of halting the libtards.
It amazes me that people are saying drive a stake through “latinos are our natural allies” argument bt still insist on propping up token blacks like that has a an effect.
The GOP is the stupid party if we don’t reach out to hispanics, the black vote is gone and the youth vote is NOT there. The white vote is shrtinking people. Wake up!
P.S.-Conservatism in the political arena is only worth something if you have representatives to bring it through. We can’t do that as a minority party—be that the GOP or some dumb ass third party yall try to start.
I look forward to working with you and other like minded conservatives on making sure we don’t let the Dems add another race to their plantation.
“Way to lose an entire voting block of hard working Christians. Republicans came off as bigots and played right into Dem hands. McCain and others tried to tell us this would happen, heres the proof.”
Proof? Only to you, McCAin and the aliens. Get over this nonsense. Uncontrolled immigration from 3rd world socialist loving countries just elected the president of the United States. And your attitude helped.
“This is not McCains fault, this is talk radios.”
Oh, BS. Now you’re just imagining stuff. First, Savage is hardly representative of ‘republicans’. Now, show me one instance of the BIGOTRY by talk radio against ‘hispanics’. They are the ones with their countries flags marching in my streets DEMANDING everything they don’t deserve. But THAT doesn’t bother you? Either give me facts or think before you help the left destroy the ONLY voice conservatives have.
Maybe that’s your plan.
” But, sheesh, blanket hostility will kill us even worse.”
PC will kill us faster, we’re grasping our last breath now because of it. We’ve surrendered to any foreign demand especially by Mexico. It’s crazy. And dangerous.
“Shunning all GOPers who reach out to hispanic is not the way.”
Define ‘reach out’? Amnesty again? What?
There’s gotta be a response to immigration that brings both sides in. While I was calling John McCain, Juan McCain during the primary, reality has now set in. The Democrats know how to play the race card, we don’t and we will lose another race to the Dems if we don’t start realizing we can’t win on white votes alone.
