“With seven in 10 blacks and 53 percent of Latinos voting in favor of Prop. 8, the ballot measure to ban same-sex marriage, Republicans say they are confident that their common interests with minorities on traditional family and social issues can help forge new political alliances,” according to an online news source.
How ridiculous!
The Republicans bash Latinos incessantly and now because some Latinos voted for Prop. 8 they are expected to warm up to the GOP? No way! They may have voted for Prop. 8 but they also voted for Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. The GOP has no future with Latino voters.
But if Republicans want to keep deluding themselves, so be it. The courts are going to overturn Prop. 8 anyway, so it is not like this hateful measure will have any sort of long-term impact.
And guess what? Latino youngsters are NOT voting as conservatively as some of their parents. The future bodes ill for right-wing GOP philosophy in this country.
Bomb Throwing Alert!
Traffic is slow today so Art takes up the keyboard to piss me off…
First, please elaborate on the Latino “bashing” statements and actions. Something outside your “we’re all Latinos here” that overrides national issues. Outside of Santa Ana, Art, issues like taxes and freedoms and good jobs come ahead of La Raza.
Second and third generation immigrants – “ALL IMMIGRANTS” Art, are more conservative and more patriotic. Their issues are conservative issues.
And exactly what does the Democrat Party do for Latinos, Art? Besides treat it like the red headed step-child, younger than the African American child in the family, but growing up with more potential… (the Hispanic population will African Americans in 20 years).
PS Are you bored?
terry what a great post . in pedroza world santa ana is the only city that he is concerned about . hey art if you want voter fraud = illegals voting . keep them in santa ana . look how corrupt your city is anyway . keep them out of the other counties .. and terry thank you . art hates using the word illegal immigration . . there are immigrants and there are ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS . but in ARTS WORLD they are all the same .
I do not care the legal status of any iinmigrant. As an Inmigrant first generation I will not vote for Democraty Party ,because this party was found under the premises of supporting Slavery!,and also having one of its more well known Senators as MR. Bird founder of kkk. Besides that as a latin person I go for traditions and values that the democraty party does not share with me.
