The GOP has lost the Latino vote

Ahhh, ok...because you said...

"
President Obama started a fight with the Church with his mandate on healthcare/birth control, and the newly appointed American Cardinal Dolan has already picked up the gauntlet. But don't let me stop you from continuing to believe this isn't an issue that Catholics will vote come November."

I would have thought you would have said it would be an issue with "Latino Catholics"... instead of just "Catholics"

I can read, I just can't mind read...

Good on ya. Next time we have a thread about Americans Catholics, I'll ask you about how the Latinos see the issue, okay?
 
I have no idea, but I would hazard a guess they'll follow what their religion dictates more than Americans would.
I just showed you yesterday that 97% of those Latinas DO USE contraception. So apparently, only 3% are truly "devout". So how you want to measure that subjective phrase?
 
Um, well Romeny was definitely trying to court the Puerto Rican votes with his comments about not requiring English to be the first language there, if they voted to go for statehood. As, for what percentage of younger latinos are catholics, I don't know, but I know of several big latino evangelical churches (with mostly younger congregations). So, there's definetly a bit of a trend (in our area) of some younger latinos leaving Catholicism.
 
So show some stats to back up your claim...I'm guessing you will just post some snide remark instead...

How have I been snide? I have posted with "JMO, IMO, IMHO and hazard a guess". It's my opinion. I came up "with my opinion" from talking with Latinos I know. You could be right and I could be wrong. I;m just giving you what I have garnered from speaking with Latinos I know. :cool:

Well I went back to find your link to the "97% of those Latina DO USE" and couldn't find it. So if you would please give me the link charts/facts again, I would appreciate reading the article. Thanks
 
Do you realize you said that recognizing non-whites is the oppression of whites. As in for whites not to be alienated minorities have to be.
Perhaps you're not expressing yourself properly.

You talking to me?

I have no idea what you just said.

I see; advocating color-blindness is now "Un-Cool" as viewed by either the extremist on the Left who want America Transformed to a non-white nation as well as those on the extreme Right who want America Locked into a White Cultural Bastion.

Hmmmmmm, Ya know, this is about as self-defeating as those “Hip” people in the urban inner cities dumping on bright black children who apply themselves scholastically and / or entrepreneurially as “Acting White".

I am reminded of something I got in a college English Literature class:


The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;

- William Butler Yeats

If you look at the meaning behind that poem, and the times in which it was written, the rest of the stanzas start to fall into place as well.

Those who are ignorant of History are doomed to repeat it.
 
I never said "La Raza",
I never said you did, I gave them as an example of a "non-white lefties with intent to change racial demo yadayada"....

I never said "radical".
Actually, you brought up "radically change" by "lefties"....so it follows that those who do that could be considered "radicals"....like LaRaza:
Let me axe you something.

Do the lefties (non-whites) proudly proclaim their intent to radically change America's racial demographics from being a white majority to...whatever craphole they plan on implementing?

I realize that you have totally lost track of whatever point you were trying to make, so maybe you ought to go back and review....and then come back and clearly make your point, if you have one.

It's on page 11, not that it really makes a difference since you did not read it the first time.

You and Matt really like going around in circles.

I read your link and you're right. Thanks

Of course you don't get it, you probably never will, until someone points a gun at your face in the middle of a war.
 
Latino Politics : Pictures, Videos, Breaking News

"Obama Is in Real Trouble With Latinos"

"The latest Gallup poll has Obama's approval rating among Hispanics down to 48%, the lowest of his presidency, and down from 60% in January of this year."

"Why is the Latino vote not quite as important in its own right as both parties claim? Because, in fact, Latinos don't vote their "numbers." Much of the population (over a third, in fact) is simply too young to vote, a relatively high percentage (about a quarter) aren't U.S. citizens, and a substantial number are here illegally. As a result, while 16% of the US population is Latino, just 9% of voters are. And their influence tends to be felt regionally because the population is also highly concentrated. Obviously, that influence is much higher in states like California, where nearly half the Latino population lives. But California is already a "safe" Blue state. Far more critical are the "battleground" states, especially Florida, where roughly 22% of the electorate in Latino, and the Southwestern "swing" states, where Latinos range from a low of 10% of the electorate in Colorado to a high of almost 40% in New Mexico."
