What Point at all is THERE to this Union.
Kc Lion you Moron.
Exactly. If the GOP-and the conservatives- want to survive and be relevant they must, must, get the Hispanic vote. The die was cast in 1965. The vast majority of Hispanics are pro-family, hate gays, go to church, and want to work. They are made for the GOP.
Texas was effectively a one party RAT state from roughly 1870-1964 or so. That means Texas Democrats already had almost a century to govern and enact whatever they wanted. (see LBJ, Sam Rayburn, John Nance Gardner, Ma" Ferguson, etc. They had their shot so its not "progress" to turn control back over to them.
>> The Texas White Liberal is dead and more moderate and socially conservative Hispanic Texans will take over the state.
Boy, you live in fantasyland. <<
I agree. I've met plenty of "Hispanics" who love Obamacare and "gay pride" parades. Is there anything "socially conservative" about Congressmen Rubén Hinojosa, Silvestre Reyes, or Charlie Gonzalez -- all elected from hispanic majority districts in Texas? If the excuse is that hispanics side with the GOP on social issues but vote Democrat for economic reasons, then logically they would choose the most "socially conservative" Democrats in primaries and hispanic districts would be filled with pro-life and pro-traditional marriage Democrat officials. Instead, 70-80% of the time they choose far-left Obama loving Democrats. Hmmm.
That is full and unbridled tyranny!
Absolutely. And the reason why politicians like Bush and the government have made American citizenship all but pointless, allowing millions to pour in illegally, while at the same time, flooding the U.S. with millions of foreigners legally. March towards total socialism and gain absolute control of everything.
Divide the united.
The once united, eventually just fad away..
The words “California emissions controls” says it all.
California drives up the costs of cars for all.
If the economy sucks as it does in CA, the Hispanics won’t come over here. Still, the birth rate of Hipsanics is greater than Whites, but this too is declining as is the Islamic birth rate.
Before we write off TX, let’s see what happens in CA. CA’s population is not increasing because productive people are leaving at about the same rate as they are being replaced by illegals and their progeny. But eventually, this situation will become untenable and we could see a total collapse. TX may be able to learn from this and assimilate and persuade its Hispanic voters to support leaders that promote conservative values.
More prizes? Feebies? In-state tuition for illegals? More food stamps? More free healthcare?
More welfare?

This is what the Founders Feared most, large states dependent on the Federal Government dominating the Smaller ones. Democrat controlled and voting super states, California, New York, squishy Florida, and Mexican-Coup Texas, gang up and permanently prevent the Opposition from gaining control of the government, those people would in effect, be Taxed without being Represented.
Yeah, lets see what happens!
((Is he kidding?)) ...lol
Ya better get yourself updated grumpy.
And just think, some of Mitt Romney’s biggest GOP supporters are national popular vote cheerleaders.
The Slave states had a Majority or Status Quo for the first 80 years of our Nation. That is the reason behind the War between Kansas and Missouri, because the Anti-Slave forces could then take the Presidency without needing to win any of the Slave states.
If this doesn't stop, there won't be any Swing states, only the solid Democrat will have enough without any say from Non-Democrat ones.
OH! You must mean General Winfield Scott Romney back in 1852!
Or Thomas Dewey Romeny from 1944, the "Me Too!" Republican
Yeah, I don't trust him to save us.
Once Texas goes rat, the country is officially done.

I’m afraid that is true. And the only way out is to get a bigger share of the Latino population to vote GOP. Not impossible but I see very little progress in that direction.
You propose what?
No. Precisely my point. Don’t give them freebies. Be the pro-work, pro-family, anti-gay party. You will get at least 51% of their vote.
I fear the only way to do that is to promise them an open border.
Who's going to do that? The GOP?
We did that. It kinda backfired.
You propose what?

I propose nothing. I have no idea how to get the Latino vote. But it doesn’t take an Electoral Map genius to recognize that Texas going Dem would make it essentially impossible for the GOP to win a Presidential election.
