I shouldn’t have agreed with petefrt statement. I was agreeing with the part were Hispanics were “more to Reaganites than any modern (’progressive’) Democrat.” I just wanted to clear that up. Nonfactor is right.

Most blacks are pro-life, too. That either of them support democrats is still baffling to me.

For some reason, voters of both ethnic groups are racially demagogued by radical elements in their community to great effect. They have the local agitator and some white liberal telling them that whitey is keeping them down, and they are supposed to vote as a racial block in order to overcome something.

Why they buy this crap, when the Demorats are almost always pushing a policy that is in contradiction to their own values? Who knows. Either way, the only ones who don’t campaign on racial profiling are the conservatives.

Get rid of the suckers because they pester you during deer season. ;)

Also, they get over-populated very easily.. grr >:|

Just ask Hucklebee. He used to cook them in a popcorn popper.

lost the culinary worker sites he had banked on, lost hugely among Hispanics

start depicting him as the “black candidate”

In that part, at least, of the country, blacks don’t like Hispanics, and I think Hispanics like blacks even less. I’ve got to agree with petefrt & al.

your white liberal self

Funny how you’d think that. My post had to do with petefrt’s claim that African Americans are more likely to abandon their “traditional” values and Hispanics weren’t and how they are willing to “go against the grain” of their religious beliefs (like the right-wing Christians have a monopoly on what religious beliefs and values are).

Hey, we thought you had moved to Canada or something. And here you are — your white liberal self — slumming over here to HotAir to lecture Hispanic women and blacks on racial relations. How very liberal of you, NF!

Maybe you can explain this to us racist conservatives, while we mull over our Republican talking points. I have been trying to find the “politics of hope” angle in a self-declared black politician calling for all blacks to support him for office because of the color of his skin, in a show of “unity”.

Take your time.

But, to some of the others here that feel, we should NOT even try and speak to this portion of the population.
(most, very family oriented, religious and hard working.)

I don’t know how you could get that I’m ignoring it when I was writing about it almost a week ago, before everyone figured out today that HRC has a huge lead with Hispanics.

Ignore it at your own peril.

BTW..

Roy Jones wins one-sided decision over Felix Trinidad

;)

Didja know Hillary has a pollster who specializes in the Hispanic vote?

They have NO Real Choice, they NEVER DID..

Now what do WE do about it?

I believe that we need someone that can make her spend HER Money in The Expensive Media Markets that we usually never even compete in… NY, CA, NJ, MN ETC..

WE cannot.. just shrug off the blue states and let them go uncontested, make the dems have to defend their own territory, so that they cannot attack US on our own ground.

Also, we have people coming up for re-election in the Senate and the House, if we have someone that cannot compete NATIONALLY those people will Not get the support that they should..

I know of one candidate that will make Hillary spend TONS of
her money in the expensive Media markets of NY, NJ, and CA, without him needing to spend very much of his own..

And doing so, We can concentrate on our base and Purple States..

Rudy Giuliani..

Woah! You’re talking about prison and gangs. I hope you don’t think they represent the Hispanic community, which is largely middle class.

I love how this racist ideology seems to be a commonly accepted Republican talking point, and then Republicans wonder why they don’t attract more African Americans to their party.

True. Most Hispanics are pro-life. If Hispanics were one-issue voters the majority would vote Republican.

A frequent comment is that Hispanics generally have stronger traditional values, akin more to Reaganites than any modern (’progressive’) Democrat.

If you don’t have a very large box…get one. We will all be living in boxes soon.

Probably Rove has talked/written about this. A frequent comment is that Hispanics generally have stronger traditional values, akin more to Reaganites than any modern (‘progressive’) Democrat. Blacks seem more willing to tolerate the Democrat relativist philosophy, even though it may go against the grain of their religious affiliation.

Today, the Hispanic-black divide is integral to the larger culture war. But a decade or two ago, it was just another illustration of racial conflict. In the Southwest, the pecking order was whites, blacks, Mexicans, Indians. And the lower classes would usually much sooner vote for a white than someone in a competing lower class. I’m thinking that attitude persists, and probably will for the foreseeable future.
