is that a serious question? GWB got plenty of Hispanic votes - 44% in 2004. in 2006, they broke 69/31 Dem.
that’s why we are losing these western states, because of the shift in hispanic voters to the Dems.
Exactly, Hispanics vote Democrat - 56 percent. A politician who gets 44 percent is a FORMER politician. A party that gets 44 percent is a LOSING party. Bush is inviting massive immigration from people who are at LEAST 56 PERCENT DEMOCRAT! Thanks for killing the Republican Party, Bush.
That’s why we are losing these western states, because of the shift in Hispanic voters to the Dems.
No one to blame but Bush, his lack of a winning plan on illegal immigration led to defeat 2006.
Two years ago even Senator Frist was saying secure the borders first. If, at that time Bush had worked with fellow Republicans and truly secured the border, he could have come back to a Republican congress a year or two later and asked for a guest worker plan, they would have gladly passed that.
Then Bush could have sailed into the past elections with his fellow Republicans happy with a secure border and Hispanics happy with a guest worker plan, a win-win strategy.
But no, Bush went with the lose-lose strategy, where he alienated his base Republican voters and angered the Hispanics who then voted 70% for Democrats.
Fellow Republicans paid the price for his short sightedness.
Uh, your own statistic proves that "freedomdefender" is right, and you're full of it. Even in Bush's supposed "high attraction" to Hispanics, almost two-thirds of them STILL voted Democrat. Hispanics have and will continue to vote Democrat. The only Hispanics who have NOT voted thusly are Cubans.
