I should keep a tally of articles, MSM editorial and pundit commentary I see about what Conservatives/Republicans should do, what things will really hurt them at the polls, weaknesses in their leadership, etc. Aside from a little attention to Howard Dean and the DNC, I don’t remember any observations about organization on the Left. Even now, with poll tracking favoring Republicans (a gift of Left-wing governance). I suppose there is tacit understanding that a biased media is all the Democrats need.
Does Eugene Robinson refer to the same “xenophobia” that was exhibited by Democrat, libtard progressive FDR against those of Japanese orientation or heritage? Do I need to list other cases of “xenophobia” exhibited by libtard, progressive, and Democrats in US history? Eugene Robinson had better hope not cause it will make his assertion of GOP “xenophobia” look quite amatuerish, much in the same manner as the lamearse, Jack Squat AnnointedIdiotPOTUS makes Pinocchio look ...... =.=
move over Obampalumpa, less that two years 748 golf games, 50 major vacations, 75 rock concerts and 4,500 new taxes for the class warfare, the race warfare and his socialist hopey/changey, DRAIN THE SWAMP,kick the illegals out and charge Caleron for every penny, we'll actually get the GDP exporting again!
With this ruling by what twisted logic does this author conclude that Republicans win Democrats lose?
This guy is so far disconnected from reality I wonder where to start:
"This is a huge long-term problem for Republicans, who risk becoming branded as the anti-Latino party and driving the nation's biggest and fastest-growing minority group into the arms of the Democratic Party for a generation or more."
This is the most specious argument in my estimation. I don't believe this is a SERIOUS issue for two reasons:
1. Latinos make up 10% of the electorate currently and generally vote democratic. However, middle class Latinos typically vote "independent" and are classic swing voters...and most of them are anti-illegal 2nd, 3rd or more generations American. Over the long term much of the Latino population will gain education, income...and an appreciation for the American Way.
2. Principle. There are and will be people who respect the Rule of Law. That is not exclusive to any ethnicity...but it does tend to have a CLASS division. Many Latinos will realize...over time...this is FAR better than the Rule of Man and get onboard.
I don't believe this is what the dims want it to be. It's NOT identity/race politics.
I think all conservatives can say this is a cultural, economic, security and LEGAL issue...and most CITIZEN Latinos are conservative at heart.
Iwork with a bunch of lunatics. Today was a party for them.
Didn’t you hear, we’re all mongrels... hence no more affirmative action.
So sayeth the son of a jackal amongest the hyenas (the View).

Yeah. They weren't playing with a full deck to begin with.
“Can anyone explain to me why this danger looms over local police but not federal officials? Whats the difference? Do they have super-secret-special sunglasses (powered by Science) that looks past skin color to uncover the illegality beneath?”
See, the Federal Govt ISN’T enforcing the law... that’s the point. THE ONLY WAY TO BE FAIR ABOUT IT IS TO NOT DO ANYTHING!
Leftist logic: Since most illegal aliens are non-white, immigration laws are racist.
I know right. If this is hurting the GOP then just sit back, crack open a beer, and watch the Pubbies go down in defeat, right?
Ping!
They're down to the eights and nines already.
Sure it does. Pus.
But among Mexicans and Chicanos it expresses itself in a tendency to vote the way grand-dad did: for the PRI or PRD, or some other Socialist party.
Mexican-American voters break 70% Democrat. Puerto Ricans also vote Democrat. But Florida Cubans vote GOP, and Central Americans and South Americans split fairly evenly.
Karl Rove and George W. Bush thought they could cater for Hispanics and get their share up among them. They were wrong; they only gained a few percentage points, barely over 40% usually. But that theory, I'm convinced, was like so much else in GOP/RNC/RiNO/Yacht-Club politics the last 15 years or so, an intellectual fig leaf for catering instead for employers and major investors no matter what.
