Why Did Cuban-Americans Vote Republican By Large Margins?

[mudwhistle]

A strange thing happened on Tuesday. It became obvious that Cuban-Americans were voting for the GOP in massive numbers, almost identical to white middle-aged males.

I thought that Hispanics as a whole are strongly in the Democrats corner. That's what everyone told us. WTF?

Well, it's no secret to anyone who lived in a communist country for most of their life.

Ask just about any Cuban or Russian immigrant.

They fear the same exact government they escaped from establishing itself here.

Who better to use as a red-flag than somebody who lived through what we are about to live through.

Here's another interesting fact. The longer they spend in this country the more they drift toward Democrats. Florida Latino Vote Pits Cuban-American Republicans Against Puerto Rican Democrats

Wonder why that is?

Could it be as their memories fade of communist oppression the less they fear it?

Interesting.

Not interesting at all.

Cubans enjoy an immigration policy no other hispanic enjoys.

If they manage to get into the country..they are American.

Simple.

And most support the ridiculous embargo. No one is changing that..yet.

Learn to focus Sallow.

Your thoughts are all over the place.

Folks that escaped from communism tend to vote GOP.

They don't fall for the same trappings other Hispanics tend to fall for. Freedom overrules stuff to someone who never had it.

 

[copsnrobbers]

They've been here long enough to know what capitalism is and how well it works.
Come to think of it, they like to work. They're proud.

 

[Care4all]

''Elian Gonzales'' is why Cubans support the Gop in Florida and despise Dems...they must hold a grudge for a while???

 

[Ravi]

Cuban Americans have supported the GOP because they HOPE the war-mongering party will one day invade Cuba and free Cubans from a regressive rule.

At least old school Cuban Americans. Many of the ones in my generation aren't quite as deluded.

You really need to pick up a history book, dope.

Cubans have always been kinda Unique Among Hispanics for Supporting Republicans.

It's not a secret that in the Hispanic Community Cubans are looked down on by other Hispanics.

Not really sure why but I do know it's true. Lived in Florida long enough to learn that much.

You really need to learn to talk to people more rather than just read someone's false impressions.

Hands down, almost to a man, if they are new to this country and have suffered through communist oppression they don't vote for the commies in the Democratic Party that are using Marxism and Socialism to win over voters. And it's not because they want pay-backs. They are afraid that the very thing they ran away from with follow them here. Dip-shits like you never had to live in a communist country, so you wouldn't know what it's like.

I would love it if America could be like Germany, but I don't think these shit-stains in Washington are capable of it, mainly because they think they have all of the answers. Germans found out what fascism, Socialism, and totalitarianism can do to a country. They know what to avoid and what works. These tools in the Democratic Party don't.

How did that work out for them?

 

[rdean]

So many voted AGAINST Republicans because of suppression.

Voter suppression.

Self deportation.

Woman's rights.

Start there and the list is endless.

You learn to focus.

You asked a question..I answered it.

By the same token..you can say ridiculous things like folks who escape Theocracies or Dictatorships vote Democratic.

They don't fall for the same trappings other folks tend to fall for. Religious and Civil freedom overrules stuff to someone that never had it.

"Fox News and the Pew Hispanic Center reported that Cuban-Americans favored Obama 49 to 47 percent. The population has been one of the Republican Party’s most loyal constituencies since the 1961 Bay of Pigs fiasco under President John F. Kennedy. Since Ronald Reagan, presidential candidates have made pilgrimages to Miami to roil crowds with declarations of “Cuba libre!” and “Cuba si! Castro no!” Romney aired an inflammatory Spanish-language ad late right before the election that featured Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro's niece speaking in favor of Obama."
