Again, no facts whatsoever to back up your arguments, just a bunch of superheated pap. According to Rich Lowry (writing in 2003): "No wonder people voted for Proposition 187, including 31 percent of Hispanics. The GOP wasn't hurt by it. Republicans were getting about 30 percent of the Hispanic vote before Proposition 187, and have been getting about 30 percent since. Their basic political problem with Hispanics is that they are poor, and poor people vote for Democrats."

Now, where are your facts that contradict him on this?

When was the last time that a GOP Presidential candidate win in California? We have lots of Hispanics here in Texas, yet this state has trended more solidly GOP in the last 10 years. And so has the Hispanic vote in places where GOP politicians treat them like good human beings rather than presumed criminals or relatives of Osama Bin Laden.

I want to win elections. Losing sucks. And losing to Democrats sucks big time. So, let's solve this problem in a way that helps continue a trend of Hispanic voters to voting GOP. This trend is part of what was an emerging GOP permanent majority beginning in 2002. And it helped Bush and other Republicans in 2004. These people, by and large, are culturally conservative and hard-working. We can win them over to the GOP. If we succeed, the Democrats are toast. President Bush knows about this because, well, he used to be Governor of Texas.
