Hey, John! That pandering crap didn’t much work out for you, did it? You fail to realize that latinos have a history of socialism, as chances are excellent they came from socialist countries before they got here. Socialism is what they know and like. They will invariably vote for the guy who promises them more free stuff. Latinos are generally conservative and pro-life? Bull crap.
well they are conservative enough to help pass prop 8 in CA and similar laws in other states
Bush also pandered to them...so why did he win more than mccain?
If he had hung tough on driver's licenses and no fence, I wonder how well he'd have done? Ahhh, now there is the $64,000 question.
Something Bush and Rove pushed was the immigration thing, and they knew they were going against the Party for the benefit of employers of illegals. That is 100% the story there. Their "talking point" about getting 40% splits of the Hispanic vote was a cock-and-bull story. They were getting their splits from Central Americans, South Americans, and Cubanos -- not Mexicans, who are the principal group in this equation.
Mexicans are hard-core socialists, PRD- and PRI- raised and educated. Relatively few come from the northern Mexican states that give you a PAN background and a decent split of votes -- on issues that don't have anything to do with immigration.
That "racist" stuff was always LaRaza/NALEO propaganda, and someone needs to stand up and pants it.
