“I didn’t leave the Republican Party, the Republican Party left me.”
How creative of you. How did you ever think of that?
How much “more diverse” can a party be than to keep preaching equal OPPORTUNITY for all who are here legally? Rather than the take it from those who earn it mantra that the left preaches? Be part of a solution, not slaves to elite masters(government).
Same here. Who needs two democRAT parties? They keep putting out lame "liberal-lite" candidates, and they keep losing. Are they too stupid to see that?
“Currently hold 30 of 50 governor ships”
We have an outstanding farm team of conservatives and patriots coming up through the state legislatures. We’ll be adding more members in 2014 and sending a bunch of these people to the US Congress.
The RINO traitors in DC know that they are about to be pushed over the side, and they’re begging for the rat party to save them.
“If republicans are running about 50/50 with Protestant Hispanics, then surely you can see that using the word “Hispanic” as though it is a fixed race or genetic thing, is inaccurate and not useful.”
I still see no rationale behind taking a small segment of the Hispanic population and holding that up as a future possibility for the Hispanic population on the whole, all while ignoring the entire Hispanic population’s past and present history of strongly favoring the Democrats. Plus, when you look at statiststics regarding immigration support, welfare use, etc., it becomes evident that the majority of Hispanics favor Democrat positions. There’s no indication (like blacks who are also allegedly social conservative) that the Hispanic preference for big government will subside to their alleged social conservativism.
This is a timely piece from The National Review this morning (with hyperlinks in the original article to support the author’s conclusions)...
“Hispanics are more negative about capitalism, and more positive about socialism, than even supporters of Occupy Wall Street. By almost four-to-one, Hispanics prefer bigger government over smaller government. Sixty-two percent of Hispanics support Obamacare. The majority support gay marriage. Among the U.S.-born (who make up the large majority of Hispanic voters), 40 percent use welfare and 45 percent have no federal income-tax liability. Outreach is important, but can we finally retire the notion that there’s a conservative Republican inside every Hispanic voter just waiting to come out if only the GOP backs amnesty?”

They don’t want your vote. After all where are you going to go?
There is some math to it. When you or I get disgusted and withhold our vote, or vote third party, they lose one vote.
But, if they can replace your vote or mine with a “moderate” or LIV, or whatever, they gain one vote and the Democrats LOSE one vote. That is, for them, a net gain of one vote.
Since the GOP is about power and politics, and doesn’t give a darn about principles, that is the route they’re looking at.
Nope.
The Dems and the Media have attached “The Great Sequester” to the GOP even though it was Obama’s idea. They have also made it into some sort of catastrophe. The LIVs are going to cream us in in 2014.
Really. It’s going to bad. I wouldn’t be surprised if we lose the House.
I don’t know why you keep wanting to tell us about the overall Hispanic vote, we already know that.
There is no need to keep repeating the very thing that we are all discussing, we already know what you are posting, look around you, we all know what you just posted, most of us have known it for years and decades even, it is why we discuss Hispanics and voting and immigration in the first place.
What people don’t know is what I posted, about 30% of the Hispanic voters are Protestants, and they are close to a 50/50 vote.
There is valuable information there, one, it proves that republicans can win Hispanics under some conditions and I assume some issues, or because of some attitude or knowledge that those GOP Hispanics have, we need to examine it and look for the key.
When you see an opening that large, you better pay attention to it and learn from it.
Remember, public preference polling has reached a technological bottleneck that, at the moment, seems irresolvable, so which poll, when, who did it, and where are the details ~ like questions asked?
