I have lived in several cities where Hispanics are in the majority. They have inevitably been Democratic fiefdoms run along the lines of Mexican political practices and patronage (not to mention corruption). Anglo politicians, El Paso State Senator Eliot Shapleigh comes to mind, pander as hard and as fast as they can, to the point of cultivating constituencies inside Mexico and accepting awards from the Mexican government for their work undermining US immigration laws. But I digress. As I mentioned earlier, fewer than a third of Hispanics are protestant, let’s say, 30 percent. Given the voting record of 2008, that would mean that 15 percent of any Hispanic population might, just might, be inclined to vote conservatively at any given time. This is not ever going to make a difference. The Left counts on the Hispanic vote because it is theirs. Amnesty will result in permanent Democratic control, and it will inevitably be corrupt. I am not annoyed that (some) Protestant Hispanics vote Republican. I just don’t think it makes that much difference in the larger scheme of things.
If the Protestant Hispanics can be reached and vote about 50/50 Republican, then that means we can reach Hispanics, it gives us something to work with, it means that we can form a strategy by looking into the why of that.
