Hispanics will overwhelmingly vote for corrupt socialist candidates, so the Democrats have no worries in that regard (and the GOP has nothing to gain by pandering). The trick is getting them to go to the polls, as their level of civic participation tends to be very low.
Brought to you by hispanics for Castro. Good swimmers by the way!
We should not underestimate Bill Richardson. After all, when the Northern Alliance under Masood had the Taliban on the run the first time, during the Clinton administration, Slick Bill sent Half Hispanic Bill over and he bailed out the Taliban. He is a good democrat who knows how to help the enemy and try and make us lose wars for America. So many of the ordinary hispanics in these country actually try to win them and so many serve in our armed forces, it will take all Bill R’s skill to turn them against the country they think of as their own.
The GOP has plenty to gain by being hispanic-friendly. Hispanic votes are competitive unlike the black vote and their immigration patterns are similar to those of the Irish or Italian-Americans of years past.
Hispanics in Texas and Florida are quite competitive. They are as a block very socially conservative and those who escape socialist regimes are quite friendly to the Republican party. We have to separate the hispanic vote from the illegal vote which is fairly large.
That being said, Richardson is a pathetic loser who had no reason being in the primaries or thinking his endorsement meant anything.
