Like DUH! Do Republican actually need consultants to tell them the Obvious.
Because Hispanic voters lean to the Democrats on economic and social grounds, the GOP would have to change almost all its policies (on taxes, welfare, regulation, labor law) to have any hope of attracting Hispanic crossovers in the long term.
Ya Think? Anyway, this is where Bush is coming from and where is he going. The only other rational explanation for Bush's shameless pandering to Mexicans is that Bush and his advisors are all morons and I don't believe that for a second. Bush & Co. plan to take the GOP much further to the left and any conservative that doesn't like it can hit the road. JMO.
This would almost be laughable, if it wasn't so damn true.....
