In the interest of truth in advertising, I propose that they should change the name to “More of the Same Old Mexico”.

ms and al aren’t many electoral votes. those votes aren’t much of a whoop anymore except maybe down in dixieland.

the white libs aren’t able to be converted - we have to convince the non-white in states that matter that these ideals work for them.

Ritchie,

You have missed an important demographic trend.

In the last 7 presidential elections, except for 2008, white voters are slowly but surely leaving the Democrat Party and voting Republican.

The reasons are obvious.

Every night, MSM news programs and predominantly white news pundits openly gloat about Blacks and Hispanics becoming the new majority coalition.

My guess, many white people are not as thrilled about that idea as you are.

Last election, Republicans got 60% of the white vote, and lost by only 3%, against the greatest Hard Left media onslaught in American history.

We will get more than 60% in 2016, and we will get much greater white participation.

This political battle has barely begun.

And there is nothing inevitable about our growing Hispanic population.

We are a sovereign nation.

We could exclude new Hispanics forever if we wanted to.

It all depends on who gets elected, and nothing else.

Re: “We’re >50% parasite down this way.”

Governor Martinez (R) won the state with just 53% of the vote.

That was in the 2010 election, when Republicans turned out in huge numbers, and Democrat turnout was quite poor.

If she had run for the first time in 2008, I seriously doubt she would have been elected.

Does NM still have much higher gasoline prices than TX? It used to be that way but maybe no longer?

Road Glide,

Count me in as a recent convert.

It’s time for the GOP to publicly give up on attracting Blacks and Hispanics.

They are not going to vote for Conservatives, no matter how deeply we compromise our principles to attract them.

The largest ethnic group in America is white.

Let’s go get ‘em.

Re: “It won't be “15 million” — it will be 50 million.”

Almost exactly right, okie.

Just saw the figure yesterday in a CIS.org essay.

They estimate each original immigrant will bring 2.1 family immigrants.

They estimate 12 million amnesty citizens plus 25 million more new citizens from chain migration.

Most would come from Central America.

Their education and skill level will be shocking.

52% will not have a high school education.

Worst of all, 80% of first generation Hispanics vote for the Democrat Party.

Yu know as well as I do that these Govs aren’t real conservatives. The Rep party and Lefties are working hand in hand to get rid of all conservatives.

During the only two short interviews I’ve heard with Martinez, I wasn’t impressed. I thought when Laura Ingraham interviewed her that she was hedging and avoiding straight answers concerning amnesty and illegal immigration.

Some have put a lot of hopes in her, but the more that’s learned the more I think she will disappoint.

I guess we have another loser in the NM gov. These people spouting this crap need to go live in the countries that look like them. When they can’t come back here just maybe they will appreciate why America is America.

I agree, she has a great idea-I will make sure to only vote for white conservative candidates from here on out If everybody else is going to vote tribally, why should whites do any less? We have interests as a race also, especially considering that we provide most of the funding for their pet “entitlements”, even ones from which we are barred for being white.

Re: “She will disappoint.”

Perhaps I should have guessed as much after so many GOP establishment types praised her.

It's been two straight weeks of disappointment.

Romney flamed out, Christie self-destructed, Jindal ripped into Conservatives, and Rubio presented “DREAM Act Lite” for Republicans.

I'd like to take a vacation from politics, but I fear the country won't be here when I get back.

Someone posted a chart showing ethnic vs vote % and guess who looks exactly like America? The GOP. The Dems by vote look like a combo of Zimbabwe and Venezuela.

To: zeestephen; All

And people were calling this Hispano-Racist “conservative”

The GOP needs Real Conservatives in office...not those Liberal PhonyCon RINOs who pander to race and Illegal Aliens. Seems every Hispanic GOP member has a ulterior motive of some sort to get Illegal Alien Amnesty....whether overt or covert

The GOP better get off its Hispanic Fetish real quick

“the white libs aren’t able to be converted - we have to convince the non-white in states that matter that these ideals work for them.”

Your reply is well-intentioned, but misinformed.

Question:
Which “non-white” states that “matter” do you possibly think can be “convinced” to change from voting democratic to voting Republican?

Please be specific with your answer.

Do you think we’re ever going to get back:
- California?
- New York?
- Illinois?
- Florida? (not quite reached the status of “non-white” yet, but has a growing Hispanic population, and it’s “gone blue” in the last two elections)

“Swing states” that we lost this time such as:
- Iowa
- Colorado
- Wisconsin
- Michigan
.... don’t have a large enough non-white population to matter, so long as we win a good victory of “the Euro vote”.

Again, do you really, really think California, New York, Maryland, and Illinois can be persuaded to vote Republican again?
