Texas Could Soon Be a Republican Presidential Nightmare [Rats want to take over the Lone Star State]

If the Republican Party continues to go for the minority votes by being Democrat-lite, there won’t a Republican stronghold left in the union. That is what the state run media, Democrats and mushy Republicans want. Be conservative. Stand up for conservative values, and there are plenty of conservative Hispanics who will identify with the message. Keep selling Democrat-lite like McCain did, and we will continue losing Hispanics to the Democrats. Kowtowing to La Raza and the sorry politics of illegal immigration and amnesty won’t gain Hispanic votes, but it will destroy conservatism and lose the people Reagan won over.

We are at the beginning of an economic nightmare that will make Carter seem like a happy fairytale. It is time for the Republican Party to grow a new backbone, and push forward with a way back to sanity and prosperity. Kick aside the invertebrate Republicans who stand for nothing.

The Repubs need not have a problem with the non-white vote of they could get a platform together that attracted people rather than repulsed them. There are some people out there that want a government that supports people’s values, stays out of their business and is good for the economy. Not every person of Hispanic origin is in favor of illegals, wants welfare or wants liberal BS foisted on them....

[puroresu]

Yep! Bush & McCain are partly to blame, but it goes all the way back to Senator Dirksen, the GOP Senate leader, who convinced all but three Senate Republicans to support Ted Kennedy's 1965 Immigration Bill. The Southern Dems were against the bill, so it could have been filibustered if the Republicans had joined in. But no, that would have been “racist”.

The Dems knew exactly what they were doing. They were changing the nation's demographics by inviting in millions of people from non-Western cultures. The GOP, as usual, got rolled.

And in politics, demography is destiny ... Here's the bottom line: As the white vote continues to shrink in America, the Democrats are doing a much better job attracting voters of African, Latino and Asian ancestry. Especially in key Electoral College states.

This assumes static racial identification with parties. I find that unlikely. The democrat party is for losers, those with nothing who want other people's wealth spread around to them. As the Latino and Asian population becomes more established, they will become more successful and learn to resent the government excesses that they now celebrate. The African-American dynamic is different, perhaps, but even that group (which really does seem to be a single group politically) can flip from one party to the other surprisingly quickly.

[Chances Are]

Yes.

Their best chance, believe me, is “a choice, not an echo”.

You'll be surprised at the kind of support that will pick up, even with all the mis-educated and dysfunctional voters out there.

CA....

"The latino’s I work with are solid conservatives and extremely pro-life."

Ditto but they mostly all vote rat.

Granted I'm in a liberal hell hole but Texas ain't the same. The Mrs. and I are seriously considering Alabama.

It'll be hard but sheesh, Texas, well, it's just been changed by all the refugees from liberal cesspools who proceed to turn it into what they escaped. Go figure.

[itsahoot]

And exactly how much of that Latino vote is presently illegal?

All that ACORN can register including the ones who don't actually live in Texas.

Texas Could Soon Be a Republican Presidential Nightmare

---

It may come sooner than expected. The 2010 census is going to be very important in determing the makeup of the state legislature and probably the Texas congressional delegation.

Currently the Texas state legislature is composed as follows:
House .... GOP, 76 ..... Dem, 74
Senate ... GOP, 19 ..... Dem, 12

Texas hasn’t been in the control of the GOP for that many years. The democrats as a rule were conservative even in 2000 they controlled the state House 78-72 and the GOP had the Senate 16-15.

“The Dems knew exactly what they were doing. . . . The GOP, as usual, got rolled.”

The inevitable result when the Stupid Party meets the Evil Party.

[dirtboy]

Sheesh, can’t we have one post without you blame Bush people?

Yeah, but McCain is still around pushing shamnesty, which Bush favored as well.

[kidd]

US News & World Report is a leftist rag, and the democrats taking Texas is a leftist’s dream.

Texas as a dem state is a long way away, unless unabridged amnesty is granted.

Meanwhile, several blue northern states are trending red: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and even New Jersey

[Wallace T.]

If we do not have an economic recovery next year, and the prospects for increased taxes and greater regulation remain high, there will be a backlash much as there was in 1994. One thing Obama has not done is to aggressively pursue the liberal social agenda on hot button issues like gun control or homosexual “rights” to the extent that Clinton did. Neither has he gone as far as Carter did in pursuing a spineless foreign policy. His advisers, many of whom are Clinton Administration veterans, well remember what happened in 1994. They appear to be more focused upon undoing the Reagan and Bush legacies of lowering taxes and lessening regulation than the social issues. If higher taxes, greater regulation, and increased environmental regulation thwart an economic recovery and lead to double digit unemployment, slow or negative economic growth, and increasing price inflation, there will be a backlash.

If the GOP regains the governors’ offices in New Jersey and Virginia in November, the chances for a Republican comeback in 2010 are good.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

I know ACORN is PRESENT in La. but they must have moved into Tx. as well.

[freekitty]

We will be watching every Latino vote and if they prove to be fake; they are banished to their own country or to jail.

[ItsForTheChildren]

But will we keep Texas in America?

[freekitty]

Cornyn is gone. He will no longer have a job.

“Meanwhile, several blue northern states are trending red: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and even New Jersey”

I wonder how true that will be though after Obama’s current attempt to move everyone from city slums to the suburbs

[Jeb21]

Ugh.

Another one of these threads again. This is nothing more than cowardly psychological warfare, trying to get us to stay down when we’ve been defeated.

The GOP has to outreach to Hispanics. There’s no doubt about that. But we have to remember something. THE GOP SHOULD NEVER TRY TO CONVERT A PEOPLE BY WATERING DOWN THEIR MESSAGE OR PANDERING TO THEM. That is the last thing the GOP should EVER do. If the GOP is strong on their principles, and believes in them enough to say it loudly to Hispanics, then they will listen. And eventually they will follow.

Just look at Duncan Hunter, in California. He regularly got over 60% of the Hispanic vote in his district. Why? He was principled. He believed in what he was preaching. He reached out to Hispanics, especially Hispanic business leaders and was able to move them to his side.

THAT is how you get the Hispanic vote the RIGHT way.
