Gallup: Dems lose hispanic voters
Wash Times ^ | 10/1/10 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 10/01/2010 8:32:59 PM PDT by pissant

Well here is a punch in the stomach to those who pandered to Hispanics over the summer by bashing Arizona and its Republican Governor Jan Brewer for passing the immigration law known as SB 1070. According to the latest report from Gallup, Hispanics have peeled off from Democrats in August and September.

Hispanics' Preferences Shift, While Whites' and Blacks' are Stable

Hispanic voters' support for Democratic candidates waned in August and September. As a result, Hispanics in September favored Democrats by a 13-point margin (51% to 38%), compared with 32-point margins in June and July.

Whites in September favored Republican over Democratic candidates by a 14-point margin, similar to their support level in most other months this year. The vast majority of blacks continued to favor Democrats.

This is quite the "duh" moment, considering the vitriolic campaign from the left over anybody who voiced concern over the illegal immigration and border security issue. The mistake that is made so often, though, is that hispanics in the United States are composed of various individuals of various races from different countries and territories throughout the world

Speaking of Gov. Brewer, her “opponent”, Sam Goddard’s kid, has resorted to slinging mud. Bigtime! We’re winning. They’ve run out of bullets and all they have left are mudpies.

It is our principles and political philosophy that unites us, not our race. The conceit of the anti-Constitutionalists that it’s all about race is deeply offensive, and in-your-face RACIST!

“I know all my latino buds are staunch conservatives. “

I would expect that to be true of most LEGAL Hispanics.
It is the illegals that are the pro Marxist that the Dims
support.

Maybe pandering to the worst Hispanics isn't the best strategy for the GOP.

Everyone except the morons who think Obastard is the Messiah know that you cannot destroy all the businesses in the country and get anything except more poverty.

The left insists on equating the interests of Hispanic Americans with those of illegal Mexicans.

Dems think all latinos are automatically theirs. My personal experiences with latinos is that they are conservative. The militants in that community have loud voices and would be causing chaos regardless of their national origin. There are communists & anti civilization goons of every stripe and many of the liberal organizers of this community are out for power and personal gain, caring little for their community, just their own political power. The immigrant families I personally know all favor the Arizona law. I’ve lived in California for 60 years so have many hispanic friends.

If true, there are still WAY too many ignorant Hispanics in this country. Vote Democrat and live like ... well, I guess I shouldn't identify the other ethnic group in this public forum...

Same here .. most of the immigrant Hispanics that I encounter every day are friendly hard working people who came to the US for a better life for themselves and their family, and are accomplishing such in their everyday toils. The American Dream in action, as it were :)

Obviously the Dems see these immigrants as yet another ethnic group to exploit for their own political power gain, as Rats are wont to do, and have tried to put Hispanics into the Dem class warfare camp, with some success ... but I think that success is fleeting at best, and will backfire on the Rats very soon, as the people they are courting are NOT of the same mindset as the entitlement class which makes up the Dem party.

One of my friends is a legal American Mexican (several generations removed) and she is part Latina, and is also the leader of our local Tea Party group!~

Just sayin..

A platform of Marxism built upon diversity racism is not all it’s cracked up to be. Works for Black Americans.

“Works for Black Americans.”

Well, I seriously doubt that Black support for O is anywhere near as high as it was two years ago.

Down to 70% from 95%, supposedly.

Can’t cite to it - heard it on the radio news.

Last time I saw a poll by race it was still in the 90s. But I was wrong to say it “works on Blacks.” I should have said it works on the majority of Blacks.

RINOs Listen Up:
supporting comprehensive immigration reform as a way to gain votes from legal Hispanic voters is a bogus cover!
Your real agenda of subverting Our Precious Republic is exposed.
Beware RINOs, for Treason is punishable under law.

Well, they’re poorly represented in the press.
