Wendy Davis Loses Half of Border Counties to Pro-Life Democrat
Breitbart Texas ^ | 5 Mar 2014, 7:27 AM PDT | Logan Churchwell

LAREDO, TEXAS--Texas Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Wendy Davis woke to some unsettling numbers along the Texas/Mexico border today. Of the 14 counties along the Rio Grande, Davis lost seven—including heavily Hispanic Webb and Hidalgo Counties. Davis Challenger Reynaldo “Ray” Madrigal’s prediction may have come true to an extent—Wendy has a pro-life Catholic problem and may not hold the support of motivated Latino voters by default.

No-If I ever have extra money to play with again, I want to get one of those kits from NatGeo and send in a cheek swab to find out. Since the traceable records stop at the area of Spain they came from, and the passenger manifests of ships, it probably doesn’t hold many surprises unless they can trace a it further back-then it probably just leads to the Romans.

Maybe not. My cousin has found that most old Texican families have native american mtDNA. The Spaniards mainly married local gals. Not very many brought their own wives and daughters along. She’s got south american origin mtDNA and her dad had north american mtDNA.

I suspect any Y chromosomes do probably trace back to Europe though.

I sometimes wish we had that here. “Not voting” solves nothing.

Lucky you! I’ve never lived anywhere where GOPers outnumbered Dems at all. I can’t even imagine what it’s like...

Still, I hope we don’t get overconfident and forget that we still need to focus on getting out the vote even when we have numerical superiority. The Dems are going to be so desperate we’re going to have to turn out enough of a GOP vote surplus to outweigh the Dems’ fraud.

The Church doesn’t have much political power in Mexico, but Mexicans in general were not happy when abortion became legal there. You are aware, I hope, that the Packard Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation pour millions of dollars a year into supporting various front groups for Planned Parenthood in Latin America. They have an entire huge project dedicated to destroying traditional sexual morality in Latin America, and they’ve been pretty successful.

They publish Spanish-language comic books for young people exalting abortion and promiscuous sex, they have “women’s health clinics” in remote parts of the country where they do nothing but push abortion and contraception and the idea that children are a bad thing and a burden, and of course they funnel money to politicians.

And they do the same thing here in heavily Hispanic areas, where the idea of abortion, btw, is presented to these immigrant women as something “modern” and “American,” in contrast to the benighted ways of their home countries.

And yet, if the Mexican population really did NOT want these things they wouldn’t be there.

Just like the Planned Parenthood sex education for K5 in this country. If the public school parents really did NOT want it, it wouldn’t be there.

There is still plenty of room here, for you. I transplanted a few years ago and am glad I did.
