For Republicans searching to find a way out of the political wilderness, the 2008 election provides some clear guideposts — and a flashing yellow sign about the road they’re on.
Even in a year when total voter turnout increased dramatically, Hispanics managed to boost their share of the vote from 8 percent to 9 percent, giving Barack Obama a lopsided margin of 68 percent to 31 percent, the most for a Democrat since 1996. The numbers represented a sharp dropoff in Hispanic support for Republicans since the Bush-Cheney high water mark of 40 percent just 4 years ago.
What’s received less attention is the impact Hispanics had on down-ticket races. Latinos supported Democrats in races for the Senate and House by even slightly higher margins than they gave Obama. The Pew Hispanic Center, using exit polls published by CNN, has estimated that Hispanics’ share of the vote increased most significantly in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico, where they helped elect two new Democratic senators and four new Democrats to the House. All four states were carried by Bush in 2004.

This is what has happened with the two party system. Their decisions are based more on what’s best for their parties and to hell with the country.
Loading up our social service network with 10-20 million new welfare recipients is a recipe for disaster.
And a majority of Americans, minus politicians and big business, know this
We won’t get their votes with amnesity. But we will get millions of new Rat voters. These people are a bunch of socialists who what free stuff from the govt.
I have an idea! Lets give dual citizenship to anyone the remotely looks like they are from either North or South America. We can call it the new and greatly improved motor voter bill! /s
Dont know bout you, but THE PARTY that grants another amnest will never get another vote from me.
This is just more extreme anti-Americanism....and more Hispano-Racism
Republicans lose because they are not strong enough in deporting illegal aliens, and not strong enough in preventing illegals from getting benefits....benefits that most Americans do not get
As the GOP tries to coddle the Hispano-Racists by going soft on illegal alienism....the GOP keeps losing elections. Being tough on illegals will win more elections
What the GOP should have done was come with sensible legislation when they were still in the majorities instead of playing politics with it. Instead the GOP ran a candidate who din’t have it in his heart to support banning foreign gangbangers the right to enter or stay in the country.
Got news for ya GOP, those gangs hurt latino voters, who would have been glad to see them gone.
A quick search at FEC.GOV shows that he donates to the usual RINO’s.
The party or the individual. If you believe in global warming, you will never get my vote. If you beleive in giving these criminal invaders anything but a one way ticket home, you’ll never get my vote.
Reagan already gave them amnesty in 1986.
How did that help the Republicans?
Reagan also demanded that the border be secured and no further illegal immigration allowed. Congress did nothing of the sort, though a few patriots in the House tried mightily to secure the border.
Can I reasonably assume then that you've denounced the republican platform since they added the Global Warming plank to the party's beliefs?

The GOP lost the Presidency because McCain was the most boring, white bread, non-communicative, same old same old, candidate in the past 50 years.... amnesty or no amnesty.
Voters (even many Democrats) were desperately looking for a viable candidate because deep down they didn't trust Obama.
But when Obama began to outclass and outthink McCain at every turn, even the anti-Obama Democrats threw up their hands and said, 'what the heck.'
People instinctively don't support a 72-year old frumpy guy with recurring cancer, especially one with such an irritating nasal voice as McCain. I truly believe it had very little to do with amnesty one way or another.
The Chronicle should change it’s name to *RINOs R US*

The author must be a Democrat .... comment after the article says it all:
“Funny how the Chronicle does not identify Jacob Monty, as they usually give attribution to outside opinionators. A very curious omission. Who is he? - A Hispanic immigration attorney in Houston - who makes money off illegal aliens. Getting immigration policy advice from this guy is like getting financial advice from Bernie Madoff. No thanks.”
