Correct. James Sensenbrenner and Tom Tancredo successfully drove the non-Cuban Hispanics out of the Republican Party.
In 2004 both parties were competitive with the Hispanic vote, especially in Texas. In 2006 the Hispanics voted much more like African Americans.
" Hispanics voted much more like African Americans. "
I think there may be more AA Republicans than you realize. NAACP has had some nasty puclicity in recent years and it's a known fact that the med school has racial preferential treatment guides.
Many AA's here frown on what they themselves call n*****s. I was at the Cosby live show when he first delivered his stunning challenge to the Black community to stop blaming white people, etc. He got many, many standing ovations.
Yeah, it’s all the fault of those bastards Sensenbrenner and Tancredo for upholding the rule of law! Everyone KNOWS Hispanic voters are “hard-working, pro-life, devout Catholics” by default! They’d NEVER elect a marxist RAT if we Republicans would just “reach out” to them with inclusive candidates. Just look at the 2004 election results! Great “pro-family” crowd here:
ELECTION RESULTS 2004
ILLINOIS 4TH DISTRICT
PRIMARY ELECTION
Abortion Luvin’ Pro-Terrorist Commie Luis Guiterrez (D) 38,338 votes
Socially Moderate, Pro-WOT Marty Castro (D) 12,008 votes
GENERAL ELECTION
Abortion Luvin’ Pro-Terrorist Commie Luis Guiterrez (D) 104,761 votes
Pro-life, pro-family, inclusive Hispanic nominee Tony Lopez-Cisneros (R) 15,536 votes
Incidentially, Guiterrez is Puetro Rican, running in an overwhemingly Mexican district against Mexican-American candidates. Seems those "competative" Mexican-American voters wouldn't even go for a "moderate" Dem in the primary but beat down the door to elect an rabidly pro-abortion lunatic. Amazing, eh?
Some of us were warning about the negative impact of the anti-Illegal hysteria being whipped up last spring. We warned that it would be turned against ONLY the GOP and it was.
