Republicans have NOT surrendered the minority and immigration population.
You mentioned the "recent hysteria and blocking of immigration reform" in your second post.
McCain supported amnesty and lost the hispanic vote 2 to 1 to Obama.
YOu guys have done an excellent job of branding the GOP in the minds of Hispanics as the "enemy".
You know it. So don't add insult to injury by lying about it now.
Import Third World voters, create defacto One Party State, rule for generations.
Good for the dems, bad for America.
Hispanics don't need the Democrats to see what Repblicans are and are not doing for them
English only laws, blocking DREAM initiatives, the racist rhetoric directed at Hispanic immigrants, where are your papers? Laws, blocking immigration reforms
All coming from the right
McCain supported the Dream Act, and did not run a racist campaign.
And yet, Obama accused him of running a racist campaign and won the hispanic vote by 2 to 1.
Constant racial demagoguery over generations have done their job. YOu have a good lock on the Hispanic vote, that is why you are so happy about the demographic change.
If you really thought that a minor adjustment in policy would be all it would take to put the Hispanic Vote up for grabs you wouldn't have been so gleeful about it in your second post.
I'm getting bored with that nonsense
Show where Obama accused McCain of running a racist campaign
Hispanics are more than capable sizing up their relationship with the GOP. They are turning away in droves
I have posted this before.
Obama: Don’t let other side scare you
"they figure they’re going to win this election is if they make you scared of me,” Obama continued, repeating an attack from earlier in the day. “What they’re saying is ‘Well, we know we’re not very good but you can’t risk electing Obama. You know, he’s new, he doesn’t look like the other presidents on the currency, he’s a got a funny name.’”
McCain did not do that.
Obama lied.
And yes, Obama won the Hispanics by 2 to 1. I'm not denying that you dems have a lock on the Hispanic vote.
It is why I agree with you on the upcoming marginalization of the GOP and the transformation of the US into a defacto One Party State.
You, as a lib, see this as a good thing.
I as a con, see it as a bad thing.
But we agree it is happening.
You need to update your history of the election if you think it wasn't driven by other things than just politics.
"What makes them different, and what has pumped up the Weimar-like rage at McCain-Palin rallies, is the violent escalation in rhetoric, especially (though not exclusively)
by Palin. Obama “launched his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist.” He is “
palling around with terrorists” (note the plural noun). Obama is “not a man who sees America the way you and I see America.” Wielding a wildly out-of-context Obama quote, Palin
slurs him as an enemy of American troops.
By the time McCain
asks the crowd “Who is the real Barack Obama?” it’s no surprise that
someone cries out “Terrorist!” The rhetorical conflation of Obama with terrorism is complete. It is stoked further by the
repeated invocation of Obama’s middle name by surrogates introducing McCain and Palin at these rallies. This sleight of hand at once synchronizes with the poisonous Obama-is-a-Muslim e-mail blasts and shifts the brand of terrorism from Ayers’s Vietnam-era variety to the radical Islamic threats of today.
That’s a far cry from simply accusing Obama of being a guilty-by-association radical leftist. Obama is being branded as a potential killer and an accessory to past attempts at murder. “Barack Obama’s friend tried to kill my family” was how
a McCain press release last week packaged the remembrance of a Weather Underground incident from 1970 — when Obama was 8."
