No Habla Espanol

his kids are bilingual and his grandchildren won't speak spanish unless they take it at school. that's how immigration works.

the doltitude of the english only crowd is like a 7.5 to the birther's 10.

but they're doing the lords work. without them as republican scarecrows a large portion of the family oriented conservative hispanic vote might not feel obligated to vote democratic.

weiner resigns and dell posts this. it was a good two days for dt democrats.

I'm so offended I'll post something smug and borderline gay.

Oh my little social group is chuckling at you losers. Tee hee I'm so superior. Time for a goose and cranberry.

not offended coach. by dell's post or yours. bashing someone for not speaking english doesn't affect me directly. and it has the nice side effect of pushing those who might not agree with everything they stand for to vote democratic anyway. republican's can write off reagan's home state largely thanks to a few decades of immigrant bashing. look for that to happen to the rest of the southwest (texas included) in the next decade if republican's stay the course.

and i'm more of a west coast hop forward style beer snob.

.

Hispanics are the fastest growing American demographic, and the GOP knows it. Whites are a minority by 2030? 2050? (I forget). That's one of the reasons why the Repubs are so desperately trying to implement their voter suppression laws before the 2012 elections. Strong numbers in voter turnout doesn't favor electing Republicans, and the demographics are moving further and further away from the GOP daily.

So not only is the GOP moving so far to the right they have already disenfranchised a significant number of formerly reliable GOP voters, their target audience is shrinking massively and quickly. There's a void and a need there, but it's not for the current GOP, certainly not the evangelicals or the "Tea Party", nor is it markedly progressive. It's about where Obama is.

Yeah and they don't like abortions. Things will remain the same on social issues and we'll keep electing the usual suspects.
