Hey folks Hispanics are just like everyone else. The stupid ones do not vote or vote Democrat, the smart ones vote Republican. (But not for RINO’s).

[Yorlik803]

I dont care what a person race or creed is. As long as they stand for the Republic and the Constitution, I will stand by them.

[Concho]

Mexican is not a race. Mexican is a culture, and if the suckers vote here, they better be citizens.

[GonzoII]

"Mexican is not a race. Mexican is a culture"

No, Mexicans are a race who have a culture.

Whenever you see the phrase “reaching out to Hispanics” what it really means is reaching out to Mexicans. The word “Hispanic” is supposed to be inclusive of all Spanish speaking ethnicity's but the fact is that in the USA, Mexicans are 95% of all Hispanics. So from now on, just say Mexicans.

“No, Mexicans are a race who have a culture.”

What race is that? Caucasian? Mongolian?

“Obama Mentiroso Socialista” - I loved seeing that sign at a Tea Party rally. I’d say a number of Hispanics from socialist hell holes know what Obama is doing.

“Hey folks Hispanics are just like everyone else. The stupid ones do not vote or vote Democrat, the smart ones vote Republican. (But not for RINO’s).”

That’s absolutely right; there is no way hard-working, taxpaying Hispanics are lining up to give a higher portion of their income to the socialist pot, and the shiftless, lazy ones are still lining up to draw from that pot. That is exactly the same as it works for whites, blacks, Asians, ect.

Do we need to have this discussion AGAIN. Its the “myth of the hispanic voter”. Lumping together people who share only a language, and then expecting them to vote as a bloc is mindless. No one lumps me together with Australian immigrants. The cultures of Cubans, Dominicans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, et al. couldn’t be any more different. Can’t we just skip these articles all together? And for those who think all Hispanic immigrants are “Mexican”, you’ve obviously never been to the Northeast. Central Americans and Dominicans conitnue to pour into here.

I know a lot of Mexicans who are blonde and light skinned (much lighter than me). Descendents of the Spanish are often redheads. I live outside of Corpus Christi, and I know several blonde Mexicans who speak no english. The Mexicans of Indian descent tend to move here more than lighter complected, as they are discriminated against in Mexico by the middle/upper classes in education and employment (I have talked to a lot of immigrants/illegals, who all tell me the same thing).

On an interesting note, I have friends from Mexico and Ghana. All say their countries are superior to ours. When asked why they don’t live there, they admit it’s because they either can’t find work or can’t make enough money there. Go figure.

Conservatism is a viable option for all honest, God fearing and loving, good people.

Leftism is the alternative of the dishonest, insane, selfish, or ignorant.

[dfwgator]

Mexico is like Apartheid-era South Africa.

"What race is that? Caucasian? Mongolian?"

Mexican

race: 2 a : the descendants of a common ancestor : a family, tribe, people, or nation belonging to the same stock -Websters

[turducken]

The race is mostly Mestizo, with a small elite minority who are Caucasian (Spanish) and an additional minority that is indigenous (Indio).

[A CA Guy]

Problem is so many are attached to the social programs or their family elsewhere are and that makes them Democrat despite having opposite political views than most Democrats.

I straight out say it.
Many in the Hispanic population here sell their souls for the support money to Democrats.

The fact is you don't know what you are talking about. There are many South Americans in the south west USA. If you spoke Spanish you would be able to tell the difference. In the New York area there are many Puerto Ricans, in the Florida area there are many Cubans.

I know several Guatamalans and other Central Americans who work here. I don’t know if they are legal or illegal. My nephew and brother just bought a business in Midland, TX and had to let one of their employees go as he is illegal. Having a hard time finding a decent replacement.

[TStro]

I had a Guatamalan stripper proposition me at a club in Harlingen several years back. The Mexican guy I was with took her up on it. He got the worst fever blister you ever saw as a result. LOL. Last time I visited a bar.
