Polls show most illegals are voting 70-30/80-20 Democratic

If we KNOW illegals are voting, then why the hell don't we put them in cuffs?

All this talk about illegals sweeping into power. Hell, they are already pulling the levers.

the ideological Washington Times exposed a supposed plot

. . . as opposed to the completely unbiased Washington Post?

This time Rove, and his president, were on other side, trying to move legislation they hoped would build an Hispanic Republican voting bloc and give Bush a shining legacy.

Does anyone think Rove or Bush could possibly be that dumb when 98% of the illegal aliens to be welcomed in by the blanket amnesty fit the profile of the perfect democrat voter-- poor, uneducated and easily led? Something like 45% of Hispanics were also opposed to blanket amnesty and these are the Hispanics who the Republican Party should be reacing out to . . . not those who are likely to become wards of the state.

"Why does no one seem particularly concerned that illegals are voting at all? Every time an illegal vote is cast, some legal voter is disenfranchised."

It bothers the heck out of me - it's disenfranchising US citizenship period!

Illegals, voting for the Democrats that no one else will.

...How are they going to manage the message in the presidential election, when more and more people out there are looking elsewhere for details?...

This dynamic will only accelerate with the passage of time. When smart people want details, they increasingly look for them online. The MSM spends too much effort “managing the message” and providing biased “analysis” to do the job they’re supposed to do, which is to give us the facts.

So if you want to know what’s really going on, you go to FreeRepublic, you go to the blogs like Real Clear Politics and NRO’s Corner, and you listen to talk radio.

The Republicans pushed the Civil Rights laws through Congress to help Lyndon Johnson and what did it get them in the end?

All the African-Americans who hadn't already joined the Democratic party fled into its arms in a riotous rush.

Great idea, we need more than the bogus debate beaty contest routines, the New Media needs a platform to smoke out the real positions on the major issues!

Individuals with an Hispanic heritage, are just as welcome to vote Republican as anyone. There does not have to be promises made to any ethnic grouping, to make promises to people as part of an ethnic group, is a subtle form of racism, in that it deneys people their individuality.

You didn't defeat her. She withdrew. The only thing you guys might have won was a delay in your girlfriend Ginzburg's retirement date.

Big victory. (/sarc)

True. Cuban Americans tend to vote Republican, but Mexican Americans and Puerto Rican tend to vote Democrat.

If the poll is representative, then where were the other 87 percent getting their information, true or false, about the bill?

Talk about condescension - as if the other 87 percent is incapable of thinking from itself without direction from media outlets.

"Polls show most illegals are voting 70-30/80-20 Democratic."

Yup. A regular "no-brainer" IMO.

You don't get the details at all in the mainstream media. They hit a story, devote 1/8th of a page or 30 seconds to it, and on they move.

Getting out these details is the power of the new media. A new law in Maryland allows convicted felons to vote after serving their sentence, another liberal tribute to our new Gov, Mr. Wonderful. What the Balto Sun never mentions is that the previous governor, a Republican, actually restored voting right to those convicted of ONE felony, after serving their terms. The new law applies to repeat-conviction felons of any crime, including murder, rape, child-molestation, except voter fraud....and voter fraud doesn't seem to even be possible by Dems in Maryland.

I respect anyone his point of view, but it is too bad that the left can argue without all the facts on the table due to their stranglehold on the MSM. Talk radio and the internet are upsetting their ability to lie by omission and to spin the facts for the mostly ignorant (not stupid, just uninformed) public. The Dem party must have an uninformed public to stay in power.

Most of these crowing people are Rinos that could give a care less if the borders are still open. They want the sheeple to go back to sleep now after the “BIG ONE”.

Thanks! This is a war and we are the peasants vs. the knights. Fortunately, we are legion, where they are few.
