Post-mortem by Hispanic conservatives
The Hill ^ | 2008-11-17 | Sam Youngman

Posted on 11/19/2008 5:43:03 PM PST by rabscuttle385

A group of senior and up-and-coming Hispanic conservatives with close ties to leaders of the Republican Party will meet in the coming weeks to work out how to salvage the GOP’s electoral chances with a voting bloc that deserted them on Nov. 4.

Like many Republican groups in the aftermath of a crushing election cycle, the Hispanic conservatives plan a political post-mortem to lay bare what the party did wrong and how to fix it.

Oh, I was predicting this to my Republican friends and colleagues much sooner than June.

You can bury your head in the sand all you want, but if the GOP continues to alienate Hispanics, it is through as a viable political party.

I think you brought the sand here with your RINO head wrapped in it.

I have predicted this would happen all along. Thanks a lot, xenophobes.

Folks, by and large, have been demonizing illegally-present foreign nationals and their RINO/Rat enablers in Big Federal and State Government, not immigrants in general.

Try to realize that there is a difference before opening your trap and insulting the millions of law-abiding foreign nationals (including my parents and multiple family members!) who legally immigrated from nations all over the world to the United States in search of liberty, freedom, and a better life.

So you were predicting this on FR since June of this year?
Gee... how long is the suffering of a RINO?
Nice try Newbie...

Look who crawled out of the woodwork to play!

Are you still waiting for another 1/2 post by Senator DeMint???

That’s right. You keep making your little snippy comments instead of offering real solutions. You’ll get far.

Amnesty is not a real solution because it introduces a much bigger problem into the picture: the notion that the rule of law is bunk.

Once the electorate figures that out and takes it to heart, you can kiss the entire Government good bye.

For your information, I never actually saw that supposed DimWitt post. The contents of it was relayed to me by another member who was obviously in bed with you WHINOs.

But you keep on with your little games, while I and the other real Republicans develop real solutions to our current problems.

I would really like to see a list of all those you consider RINOs and all those you consider “true Republicans”. You can limit the list to members of the House and Senate. I bet the former would be longer than the latter thus it would be the latter who are the real RINOs.

Oh. Muh. Goodness. It’s the illegal-supporting newbie trollscum, Boob.

Hey, Boob, gonna come buy my house so you can sit nekkid with my illegal neighbors, hold hands, get drunk and toss trash and Corona bottles all over the yard and sing “Guantanamera” with the bass going full tilt at 2am ? No ? Well, then you can STFU.

"seemed to really hate"

Are you serious? Because conservative Republicans opposed illegal immigration, that makes us haters? I'm against all illegal immigrants. Come in legally, or don't come in.

"Rodriguez noted conservative Hispanics felt the GOP betrayed them by demonizing immigrants"

I have predicted this would happen all along.

You want a cookie for "predicting" that the same tired, ineffectual lie to the effect that "conservatives are anti-immigration" -- link to any elected conservative politician or any even reasonably prominent conservative pundit making any such argument, please, or else stand exposed as an exceptionally clumsy and baldfaced liar -- would be parroted once again, rather than honest acknowledgment of the principled, law-abiding conservative stance versus i-l-l-e-g-a-l immigration?

Pfffft. The biggest problem with (putative) "conservatives" such as yourself is that none of you are ever even remotely happy unless securely down on your knees, "reaching out" to some new phantom constituency the only way you know how.

Go peddle your thin, piping wails of "xenophobe" someplace else, n00b troll. Ain't nobody here buyin'.

They have but two electoral "battle stances," ultimately: either on their knees, or else face down with their hindquarters submissively proffered. ;)

Like many Republican groups in the aftermath of a crushing election cycle, the Hispanic conservatives plan a political post-mortem to lay bare what the party did wrong and how to fix it.

They can start by telling their illegal brothers, sisters, cousins and other extended chain of illegal immigrants to go back to their homeland. Otherwise, any "advice" they have to give is highly suspect from the start.

They lost -- spectacularly -- to an empty suit; a one-term Senate Marxist with open and unapologetic terrorist ties. The only "advice" they can legitimately offer anyone is by way of being an object lesson. ;)

Nice catch antceecee,

The Republican party HAS alienated Law Abiding Hispanics and LEGAL immigrants who play by the rules. Illegal Immigration has Bankrupted the United States, Make no mistake about it.

You become like your leaders.

Mexico- One of the most corrupt governments in the world.

Illegal aliens bring their corrupt culture.

I know, I am of Mexican decent. Fortuneately, I have parents who rejected the norm. They preach personal responsibility.

PS read my tag line.
