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.

The reason Texas is Republican is because the whites in Texas are very conservative. The whites in California are split nearly 50/50.

The hispanics that migrate to California tend to be even lower class (collectively) than the ones that migrate to Texas. Don't worry, the continuing migration out Mexico will ultimately tip Texas into the Democratic camp.

Bush did not actully win 44% of the Texas hispanic vote in 2004.

You're still not getting it. Simply repeating that the GOP lost California does not prove that it happened for the reasons that YOU say it happend for.

I showed you the data that Prop 187 had no effect on Hispanics' support for the GOP in California. You didn't dispute it. So you just rant and rant and rant instead. I'm done, unless you have an actual point to make.
