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?
"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 Partys 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."

Oops.
Seems the Cuban vote Republican angle has been crushed.
Only in your pea-brain.
Helps to read the OP.
