Because in 2004, George W. Bush got 44% of the Latino vote.
Bwahahahahahahahahaha! Oh boy. Fourty-four percent! What an accomplishment. I know. They were still waiting for him to come through on his "new America". He didn't quite succeed but Obama and the dems will finish the job for Bush.
| We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture. Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende. For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America. Our future cannot be separated from the future of Latin America. As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico. George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000. |
Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:
In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on. My Bush Epiphany By Lawrence Auster Bush was/is just as bad as the other Quislings in this country.
“in 2004, George W. Bush got 44% of the Latino vote”
Actually, that’s a media talking point that is false. It was debunked on VDARE.COM by Steve Sailer, but unfortunately VDARE is banned here on Free Republic. But go to vdare.com and get on Sailer’s archive and you can find that finding and many other interesting ones.
I wonder if his Latina sister in law and half-Latino niece and nephew helped get out the vote. Of course the Bushes want the Latino vote since the half-Latino nephew is waiting his turn in line after his father Jeb. It is all about the dynasty, don’t you know.
