President Bush swinging a demographic (hispanic vote) that is as large a population as the African-American vote, over to the Republican side.

If you believe this, you are a bigger moron than Jesse Jackson!

1)Reagan presided over the LAST amnesty for illegals, and Hispanics still vote DemocRat 2-1.

2)Bush's bending over for Vincente Fox wins him no brownie points with all the Hispanics who are NOT Mexican. His plan to grant amnesty to 3 million illegal Mexicans wins him few brownie points with 18 million LEGAL Mexican immigrants who will watch their wages go down the toilet.

3) Blacks vote at a rate 4X higher than Hispanics. Blacks vote at a higher rate than whites! Based on 2000 turnout, you'd need over 100 million Hispanics to equal the voting power of 39 million blacks.

4)As you should know by now, electoral votes elect presidents, not popular vote. Hispanics are concentrated in Texas and California. Neither promises to be a battleground state.

5) According to most polls, 90% of Americans don't want more immigration. Any Hispanic votes picked up by Bush will more than be negated by the whites that go third party or simply don't vote for RepublicRats anymore.

Bush's sucking-up to his amigo Fox is going to send the RepublicRats the way of the Whigs.

Wow! A bigger moron than Jesse Jackson! And such an expert declaring me to be that! Wow! (/sarcasm in case you didn't catch it.)

The whole point of the thread is what Jesse Jackson is doing. I'm not sure of anything about you so I'll ask: Do you remember "racialism". It was where whites couldn't adopt black children (circa late 1980's). It even ticked off white liberals. What he is trying now is about 10 times worse for the Dems.

My only doubt is if the media will let him make an issue of it that will hurt the Dems.
