Adios Democrats! Hispanics Bolting Party
THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER DISTRIBUTED BY CREATORS.COM Radix News ^ | October 19, 2014 | Michael Barone

It's looking like a tough offyear election for Democrats, with their Senate majority at serious risk and their chances of gaining House seats down toward zero.

Every party has a bad offyear sometimes; Republicans did in 2006. Sooner or later they recover. But in the crosstabs of polls and in party strategists' moves I see evidence that one group Democrats have been counting on is moving away from them: Hispanics.

Hispanics voted 71 percent for Barack Obama in 2012, 20 points above his national average of 51 percent. According to Gallup, Hispanics' latest Obama job approval has sunk to 44 percent, just 3 points above the national average.

But but but Juan McCain and Tokyo Rove have been telling us Republicans can never win over the Spanish American vote unless we open our borders and grant amnesty to this who are in the US illegally already - were they wrong?

Well, we’ll see how long the “separation” lasts between many Hispanics and the Democrat Party. Will there be a re-uniting or a divorce?

Could it be because Hispanics are mad the Boy King has postponed amnesty until after the election? After all Hispanics are only 11% of the voters. And polls clearly are not in favor of Amnesty.

Sounds like good news. But what about all the blacks who voted for Obama?

After reading the story (yes, I know, rare), I have come to the realization that you have no basis or foundation for that statement.

Hispanic voters no longer supporting the status quo are most certainly welcome to the real world.

Provided they are real, legal voters.

Yes — but, then again, we already knew that.

Seeing that Des have not really helped their most loyal blocs, It’s time to move on and avoid becoming a monolithic bloc

If Hispanics really turn against the Dems , will the Dems change their attitude toward illegals?

IF Hispanics really vote Republican, the Democrats will hunt illegals down with dogs, and “sanctuary cities” will build new prisons to hold them. IF.

Never could understand why Hispanics or even Blacks were generally registered as democrats... I guess it is the definition of insanity though! In the past 20 years my neighborhood in Phoenix has changed into little Mexico in front of my eyes. But that said, I have great neighbors and I love Mexican food. For the most part, my Hispanic neighbors keep their houses up better and are much harder workers than many Americans I know. Every day about 10am the lady next door is dumping her mop water... she keeps a spotless house. Most all the neighbors I have talked too, Claim they are here legally, most are native Arizonans, and speak English as good as anybody does... they consider themselves Chicano (as I am told it means Mexican heritage, born in America) one admitted to getting legal under amnesty 1.0 years ago, after being brought here at a young age. But that said, every single one I have talked to and asked, are FOR sealing up the borders and making all immigrants follow the same rules and come to America legally. By a large percentage, they are mostly very religious Catholics and Conservative, I mean just by sheer household numbers, I cant believe many Hispanics have abortions... I just can’t understand what issue keeps them voting for Liberal Democrats...

My son is dating a wonderful girl from Peru who is working hard to earn an American citizenship.
She is furious of these leaches coming here illegally.
Do it the legal and right way she says.
Huh,
Imagine that.
