[Always Right]

Dick's analysis is too simplified. As Hispanics become middle-class, they will become more Republican. Hispanics are not a monolithic voting block. Hispanics will get ahead and value what they worked for. Blacks are doomed to be Democrats until they get that monster chip off their shoulders that the world owes them everything.

Always Right, you are right Blacks have completely sold their souls to the Democrats and will always be where they are now. The Hispanics should be able to see for themselves and with a little outreach from the Republicans that the Republican Party is for them. I don't think you can compare blacks and hispanics.

I heard this Morris rant on Hannity (I believe). I'm afraid he may be right but he does assume (simplistically) that Blacks and Hispanics will be completely reliable Demo mind-numbed robots. These groups have not benefitted from essentially 50 years of Demo control of the domestic agenda -- I would hope these people would be rational enough to recognize that. And on issues that they [should] REALLY care about (education), the Demos are in the pocket of powerful unions that hardly have the interests of Blacks and Hispanics at the top of their list.

I hope these groups will see that they have been marginalized by being so reliably and complacently following the Demo party line -- what happens to the Demos when those huge voting majorities (80-90% among Blacks) start to move to a rational split?

A good point, and one that I hope has great effect. But Morris' overview of recent voting history is a major cause for concern.

One hopes, too, that in accomodating large numbers of people who have little experience with succesful democracies, the Republican Party will not have to bend itself out of recognizable shape - more than, that is, some would say it has already done.

One thing is clear: we have our work cut out for us.

You nailed it.

Pure, unadultarated, RNC spin. Where do you see mestizos voting for GOP in any significant numbers. Not Texas, California, New Mexico, New York, New Jersey, Arizona, Colorado, or Washington. You only have the original immigrants from Cuba, and they are defecting to the Dems.

The RNC puts out this hopeless lie because if the GOP voters ever threw them out and took a stand against immigration, labor costs would rise.

The Pubbies are not your friends.

Hispanics are not a monolithic voting block.

Funny, they are in California, New York, and in the Texas gov race. Where does your experience differ?
