As Republicans ponder how to win over Hispanics in future election cycles, there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.
A poll of Illinois Hispanics conducted by pollster Mike McKeon found that a majority shared views generally considered to be sympathetic to the Republican party.
The poll found Hispanics in the conservative camp on social issues in particular. Fifty-one percent said they opposed legalizing gay marriage, compared to just 40 percent who favored legalization. Fifty-six percent called themselves pro-life, while just 33 percent said they were pro-choice.
A small plurality of those surveyed said they did not believe more gun laws would make their communities safer and reduce violence. Forty-seven percent said it would not help. Forty-two percent said it would.
Few identified themselves as liberals — just 14 percent — while 27 percent called themselves conservatives and 59 percent said they were moderates.
Yet when asked for their party identification, 54 percent said they were Democrats, 31 percent said they were independents, and just 15 percent were self-described Republicans. The disparity between ideology and party affiliation could represent an opportunity for Republicans.

That should be reworded, non-Catholic Christians as a total (since you used both words Christian and Catholic), do not vote democrat, the majority of the Protestant vote only went democrat in 1932, 1936, and 1964.
Aw crapola, maybe one could invent a universal text formatter :)
PRACTICING non-Hispanic Catholics voted overwhelmingly for McCain in 2008 and even more so for Romney last November.
Practicing non-Hispanic Catholics now vote almost reliably GOP as white evangelicals and LDS members.
Doesn’t matter. The Hispanics don’t vote based on “guns, gays, and abortion.” They vote for “FREE STUFF!” And we can’t outbid the Democrats.
You got that correct! It's just about all over!
Same here, and the same for my old Texas redneck, black friends.
This poll shows what I keep trying to tell the prissy republican types, if you want to win minorities, especially Hispanics, then talk to them like men, and talk to them about social issues, what I call "bar talk". Let them know how liberals are both effeminate and against God, they are the prissy losers, not the gun owning, bible toting, stand up to gangsters, conservatives.
We can’t have the benefits of a Christian nation without being Christian.
Pray for revival.
Sorry, but polls no longer have any credibility with me. Agree or disagree with the results, I just don’t trust them any more.

Same here. Our Hispanic neighbors are as conservative as we are and were shocked that 0 bummer was reelected. Sandra really hates his guts and makes no bones about that when she speaks to us. It's the only time I heard her use 4 letter words other than telling illegals to get the hell out of her country.
And they’ll still vote Democrat because Dems offer them government money. Natural Conservatives, pfft.
When are you dolts going to give up on the fantasy that Hispanics which grew up with Che Guevara posters on their bedroom wall are going to vote Republican just because they are Catholics and agree with conservatives on abortion?
I seldom call other FReepers stupid even when they are, but I will make an exception for you.
Tell me what wasn’t true in my post....I’ll wait.
