Bush took around 40% of the Hispanic vote…The majority maybe not, but a good portion-yes… The issue though is that the Republicans cannot be making the stances they make on immigration and thinking they will get it.A majority of Hispanics will never vote for Republicans.

Very dearly, I might add.A lot of them danced the tune, now they’ll pay the piper.
It won’t be pretty and this country is going to learn some pretty rough lessons.

You can tout the Hispanic vote, and understandably so. But how does that explain states like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa going for this president?Bush took around 40% of the Hispanic vote…The majority maybe not, but a good portion-yes… The issue though is that the Republicans cannot be making the stances they make on immigration and thinking they will get it.
It’s also worth noting that the economy was the main issue for Hispanics, not immigration this time.
I think the problem is the entitlement mentality.

Bush was pro hispanic immigration under certain conditions. So, he got that vote. He was sincere. But his own party cut his legs off. Romney then drove a stake into the heart of the issue. One feature of a parliamentarian system is that the party leader is usually put of for prime minister, or for president. So, he has his or her own party’s support. Because there are more than two parties usually, in such a system, coalitions need to be formed. But at least the leader has the support of his or her own party.Bush took around 40% of the Hispanic vote…The majority maybe not, but a good portion-yes… The issue though is that the Republicans cannot be making the stances they make on immigration and thinking they will get it.

yeah, i think i have had it with politics too. let the country go to you know where in a hand basket. i thought people cared about our country, but it looks like i don’t even recognize my country anymore. i think i wasted my time praying too, so religion might go out the window along with politics the way i feel tonight.The good news? I’m going apolitical. No more political news, shows, or newspapers fro me. I can follow Alabama and Ohio State football,immerse myself in MLB baseball, watch old black and white movies, and read all things Catholic. I no longer care what happens in America with respect to elections, legislation, regulations, judicial appointments or decisions, etc. I will abide by the law, pay my taxes, care for my family, and observe my Catholic faith.

The press here in Germany reports that the entire Congressional and Presidential race combined cost about $6B USD. With 100M people voting, that comes to $60 per vote, more or less.That is true. It’s a nice way to look at it, I suppose.

The party is going to have to rethink their stance when it comes to immigration. Maybe before the midterms, the GOP will have a real coming to Jesus moment.Bush was pro hispanic immigration under certain conditions. So, he got that vote. He was sincere. But his own party cut his legs off. Romney then drove a stake into the heart of the issue.

People spend 8 billion on halloween in the US, and that’s basically something that only lasts a week at the most. These guys have been running for almost 2 years. Doesn’t seem like it’s that much.The press here in Germany reports that the entire Congressional and Presidential race combined cost about $6B USD.

This is what I’m wondering too. If these are Hispanic voters (and therefore citizens) we’re talking about, why would they worry about the immigration policies in the first place?What stances should they take? Open borders?

It may not be the actual policies, but the tone to many hispanics is very off putting. Especially to people who have mixed families, a combination of citizens and noncitizens. A lot of hispanics feel like the GOP is specifically against Hispanics, and obviously the dems help perpetuate that.This is what I’m wondering too. If this is a Hispanic voter (and therefore a citizen) we’re talking about, why would they care so much about the immigration policies in the first place?
Kind of like how many African Americans know what “tough on crime” means.

The white minority is not going to tell the brown majority how the problem will be resolved. This is the situation we face in many parts of the country, and will be facing overall. The Romney approach of dictating a harsh solution, with no negotiation or consideration of the fact that these are people who vote, was destined to fail. Rich old white men are no longer the image of a president of the united states, and it may never be again.This is what I’m wondering too. If these are Hispanic voters (and therefore citizens) we’re talking about, why would they worry about the immigration policies in the first place?

Hmm, interesting. Should have put that money into the debt! Can you imagine? Getting elected because you chose to put all your campaign money into the national debt.The press here in Germany reports that the entire Congressional and Presidential race combined cost about $6B USD. With 100M people voting, that comes to $60 per vote, more or less.
Ok, it’s getting late, I think I’m getting a little delirious.
Pray for us epan.
