Lindsey Ping"Republican by day, Democrat by night."
Posted on 05/18/2009 9:02:56 AM PDT by rabscuttle385
The Republican Party has scarcely begun to repair a wound that threatens to confine it to minority status: its 2006 collapse among Hispanic voters.
Driven by some Republicans’ sharp attacks on illegal immigration and — as many Hispanics perceived it, immigrants in general — Latino voters fled the GOP en masse in the midterm elections, then turned on John McCain, as well.
. . . . .
There are stirrings of a Republican response. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has spoken with Hispanic leaders about creating a new organization to back Latino candidates. Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele has made minority outreach a priority at the RNC. And some Republicans see an opening if Obama continues to defer action on overhauling immigration.
. . . . .
A spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Brian Walsh, said that candidate recruitment for 2010 is still under way and noted that Martinez himself had endorsed Crist, in part for his moderate stance on immigration.
But Graham, who said he sympathized with the Senate Republican leadership’s decision to back a candidate with a good chance of winning, also raised concerns about the Florida decision.
“The key for our party is to have Hispanic candidates to carry our banner,” Graham said. “I don’t blame them for trying to make sure we don’t lose another seat in Florida. But at the same time, clearly Mr. Rubio is the type of person who would lead our party in Florida and the country to a new level.”
Graham said he’s considering forming a political action committee, or some other entity, aimed at recruiting strong Hispanic Republican candidates.

Freedom is earned, not given in this country. We who are born Americans were granted it by the blood sweat and tears of our ancestors. These Illegals have absolutely NO REASON to expect a different set of rules.
Like it or not, Freedom IS NOT free!
Bump.
Idiot. In fact, ZOTED idiot. I swore I'd never vote for McCain until he selected Sarah Palin. The morning he did and I heard her acceptance speech, I promised my support. He, lost, yet it wasn't because of her but because of him. He never represented true American values; she did. That's where you can take this vote for McCain, and that's where you can take this idea illegal immigration isn't a big issue for Conservatives (forget Republicans; this ISN'T a Republican site). We despise the idea of giving illegal immigrants free reign to our country, its laws, its prosperity, its opportunities. If the come legally, we'll welcome them. If they sneak in over the border then demand their rights we'll see they get the justice they deserve.
And, thinking about it, just what does that mean for you... ?
Looks like you were just given a pathway to the FR exit door, Lindsay!
If you are an immigrant, you are either legal (following the rule of law of the nation) or not. If not, get your sorry ass deported. C-ya, gone, good bye, hasta la vista.
LOLOLOLOLLL!
The RINO traitors make my eyes darken with rage.
Well, what was written as the "article" of that thread did not say what you said, which I questioned you about and asked for a link.
I didn't expect to be asked to read over a thousand posts, I wanted a link to where you found what I asked.
Here is my question again just to make it clear.
So perhaps you can link to "where we were told that a...purge...is...being prepared.."We are told that a Romney purge of "moderates" is already being prepared in case it is needed.Told by who?
Gotta link for that?
Thanks
Ping on the RINO epitaph!!!
I don’t want to go looking for it either, the guy I posted that to is already banned, JR has said that he is prepared to go to war against Romney and that the Romney truth file is ready to go. If you remember the Giuliani war then you know how something like that goes if Romney is in a position to need that treatment.
You are too good!
No problem, I don’t think it exists.
Sorry, if someone post something as direct and focused as you did, I like to have it verified.
I see now that it was an assumption on your part, and was not actually a statement by the owner of this site.
Thanks for the clarification, NP.
Look if I was motivated I would do all the class work, I was prepared to make a case to the banned poster if necessary, but for some reason I don’t feel the calling to go to all that work for you since you can do it yourself.
I got my confirmation
I'm kinda a literalist, what can I say???
LOL
I just figured because you stated something, you would know where you got it from
>>Illegal immigrants must be given a pathway to citizenship to win over Hispanic voters, and some type of affirmative action must be kept in place to win over Black voters.<<
You must be a product of the “publick sckhrools” and brainwashed with the liberal talking points from the drive by media. Do you get the faxes from dnc HQ every morning too?
There are other people with your IQ currently serving in the US Congress. Just look at the (d) side of the aisle, and you are probably at the top of the IQ list. The swimmer teddy is probably your true political hero, since he is stoned most of the day. Either he is or Robert KKK Byrd may be. Or are you more on the SAN FRAN NAN side? Maybe B Hussein O is your leftwing hero.
Did you have a few too many snorts of cocaine with your Tequila this morning? Why don’t you go to the local office and collect your stinking food stamps and go buy your liquor and cigarettes for the week? Druggies like you should not be allowed anywhere near a computer. That can be dangerous, since you may accidently access a porn site and that could affect your IQ even worse at your age.
Just leave us alone to our intelligent political discussion. Well, you don’t know what intelligence is, by your totally ignorant initial post. What is with liberals like you? You have to mess up the Internet with your whiny, juvenile ideas. I know first graders who have much more intellect than you exhibited with your little rant. There is nothing that indicates any amount of intelligence.
Does your mommy know you are alone with her computer? You should be banned from ever being allowed anywhere near any electronics again, since you may accidently shock yourself. Well, that could do some good and ensure you never reproduce any offspring. Go back to doing what you Dummies do best – trash anyone you disagree with and praise the idiot democrats who hate America.
Whatever the case, you should never be allowed to vote in any election. It takes some understanding of politics to understand that every candidate and his or her supporters agree with and have the courage to ensure that agenda is good for America.
This is sooo... 2006.
