Relax, the Republicans' Days are Numbered

The Cuban experience is one demonstrating that when Latinos are proselytized by evil liberal Marxists like this author, they tend to vote to the right. And right now, these relatively well living Latinos from Mexico are getting confined and proselytized by illegal immigrants who come here to compete with them without the usual immigration barrier. Unless the author dreams of a Latino National Socialism to change America to "more modern pragmatic and sensitive" Nazi policies, the right has plenty of leverages to fend off such liberal evils in the meantime.

Go ahead, make my day liberals, shove your train to hell full speed ahead, I ain't gona be the one scared, but I know liberals themselves will be the ones scared and pleading the right to do something.

Why should we address it? Aren't they always telling us in this country it's the person with the 'hateful' attitude who needs the adjustment and to change? I think we should charge the rest of the world with a hate crime;-)

Very good point. My godmother is of Mexican heritage(she is a US citizen now of course) who came here legally 30+ years ago. This influx of illegals torks her something silly--the dems aren't winning her anytime soon.

address it=the first couple paragraphs where this man said WE need to address someone else's hate for us.

Well, in terms of the Black Community, I would not use the term "skyrocketed". Most blacks distrust George W. Bush. Trust me. I know.

However, Bush tends to wear well on people. I would not be surprised if he got as much as sixteen to twenty percent of the black vote in the next election. He is simply not the Klansman that Julian Bond and Kweise Mfume painted him to be. That will change minds all over the country. His aggressive courtship of the black church will pay dividends, as well.

The big surprise is among Hispanics. Republicans tend to be improving, big time, among that voting bloc. Bush is maintaining support amongst them because he shows that he speaks to issues that Hispanics value without pandering to them. He comes across as honest, which is all they asked for anyway.

Be Seeing You,
