I responded to Blackhawk in another thread because he has no idea to get women, minorities, Hispanics, etc. to vote for the GOP.
If we don't, the Dems will be the majority party for a long time to come.
So many far right reactionaries are so full of nonsense about Catholics, and Hispanics, and other folks, like women and minorities, the needs of which they have no idea how to resolve.
They can talk to those groups until they are blue in the face and nothing will happen, nothing good for the GOP, UNTIL the reactionaries start LISTENING.
The far right wants to tell those groups what they must do instead of listening to them telling the GOP want they want it to do.
If the GOP continues to not seriously listen and act, those groups will continue to tune the GOP out.
Well, I could believe YOU...
Or I could believe el Rushbo.
He has the better track record for veracity.
Amnesty Won't Help the GOP Win Hispanic Votes

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: The Daily Caller, ladies and gentlemen, has an interesting story. "A new report by Gallup suggests that the GOP is unlikely to boost its support among Latinos to much more than 25%," no matter what, especially if they go for amnesty. "'It appears that young Hispanic adults will remain lopsidedly Democratic throughout their lives, [and] there is also no generational evidence at this point suggesting that they will become more Republican,' said the Monday report, which combines data from Gallup’s daily tracking polls of 26,264 Hispanics."
Yeah, yeah. This is not your usual sample of 1,024.
"'Majorities or near-majorities across all age groups among Hispanic adults identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party, including 50% of middle-aged Hispanics and 59% of older Hispanics,' said the report..." Now, you might ask, "Why?" By the way, you might also ask, "When was the GOP high point? When did they have the largest percentage of the Hispanic vote?" It was actually 2004. In 2004, George W. Bush got 40% of Latino vote.
Now my thinking is, "Well, if we did it once we could do it again." He got that without amnesty, by the way. Wait a minute, 2004. Yeah. He was not pushing amnesty in '04. That came later. Folks, there's a reason for this. I have shared with you the scholarly research data which proves, at least according to the data, that the Hispanic population of this country is not basing their vote on whoever's position on immigration.
According to the surveys done of these 26,000 Hispanics and then extrapolating that across the US Hispanic population, they just happen to believe what the Democrat Party believes, and that is that the government's the primary source of prosperity. They're liberals. Now, I have to tell you that for most of my adult life, I have been hearing people like Jack Kemp -- not to single him out, but just that far back.
Since the nineties, late eighties, I've heard Republicans say, "Hispanics are natural conservatives, particularly on social issues. They have family values, and hard work, and so forth," and I've always wondered, "Why? They don't vote that way. Why does anybody think that?" Because the Republicans always said, "Well, they're there to be had. We just gotta improve our outreach effort." Well, you know, we've been conservative pretty consistently here.
I think it's been another -- not trick, but it's been a way the Republicans have been fooling themselves. Anyway, the point now of all that is that the Republicans can author and be the sole sponsors of amnesty, and it isn't going to matter. It's not gonna win them the Hispanic vote. If the Gang of Eight Republicans or any of the others are engaging in changing their position on illegal immigration primarily to attract Hispanic voters, it isn't going to work because that's not the primary issue they vote on.
