    The 2012 Latino vote (not going to be Republican)

    The 2012 Latino vote

    PBS

    But guess what: No way will any of us vote for the Republicans in 2012.
    My family and I should be the ideal voters for the Republican party. We don’t like big government, and stress personal responsibility over government handouts. I’m disillusioned with President Obama, and my parents don’t like the social liberalism of the Democrats. But best of all, we’re Latinos: christened last decade as the nation’s large minority, with muchos of us in swing states.

    But guess what: No way will any of us vote for the Republicans in 2012. No way, no how. See, their current batch of presidential candidates obsess over Mexicans invading the United States. Intelligent minds can disagree on illegal immigration, but intelligent minds left the GOP on this issue long ago.

    Instead, we get candidates who threaten to build an electric fence on the U.S.-Mexico border — the same border my dad snuck across in the trunk of a Chevy some 40 years ago. He’s an American citizen now who has never missed a vote or a payment on the house he and my mom bought 23 years ago with the salaries of a tomato canner and a truck driver. No bailouts for us.

    Romney, Bachmann, Cain and the rest rail about us refusing to assimilate, but they obviously never spoke to my siblings or me. We only spoke Spanish upon entering kindergarten, yet here I am, speaking to ustedes in the King’s inglés. Masters degrees for me and my sister Elsa, with another one on the way for our hermana Alejandrina. And the youngest of us, our brother Gabriel, he doesn’t worship Mexico. He worships the Los Angeles Dodgers.

    Immigration isn’t the only issue Latinos care about. I work in Santa Ana, California, the largest city in the United States with an all-Latino city council. It’s a place where quinceañera shops and street vendors that sell chicharrones dominate the downtown.

    Here at my friend’s store and coffee shop, Calacas, owners Rudy and Jackie Córdoba want better schools for their sons, lower taxes for their business and better job opportunities for the city’s youth. Yet to politicians, the Córdobas and other Latino voters are at best a piñata, whacked every four years for our support. What does that mean? Outreach efforts that involve mariachis and tacos, tequila shots and mangled Spanish, and always coronations via sombreros. No es bueno.

    Want us to vote Republican? Drop the culture argument. We Latinos assimilate and succeed just like previous immigrant groups, like the Irish and the Italians and the Poles of yesteryear. Don’t paint doomsday scenarios about the “browning of America.”

    Almost all the Latinos I know, people with success stories, we vote Democrat by default, not because we have an affinity for burros, but because we won’t vote for a party that fundamentally fears us. Remember this, GOP, lest you guys go the way of the Whigs, because when we Latinos get offended, we get even at the ballot box.

    What a joke. They prefer Obama who has deported a record number of illegals, all the while talking out of both sides of his mouth. Sure must be gullible.

    You vote democrat because you fell for the propaganda,liberals have used minorities for years keeping them poor on welfare to control and get votes. The agenda of the left is a rich/poor society which side do you think they want you on. How do you view my wanting a secure border as not liking Hispanics who are here legally, IMO it gives away your attitude that race over country is more important, clearly your last statement supports my opinion.
    I'm old with many opinions few solutions.

    He is putting forth the idea that he is actually a conservative and but for this one issue would vote conservative. Either he is not as educated and intelligent as he claims or he is truly not a conservative and never was.
    I do not agree with certain elements within the Christian community that have embraced the idea of homosexuality. Does this mean I will disavow being a christian or convert to some other religion, NO. If in fact he is conservative , which I do not believe , this is proof positive that people will cut off their own noses to spite their face.
    Tell me to sign over my property and my life to you or you will shoot yourself and I will ask you in ten minutes " your not done yet?" This is simply an attempt to threaten Conservatives to comply or else. Go ahead and do whatever you like , probably was what you were going to do to begin with. Your threats are hollow.

    La Raza is sticking with the Democraps, "No matter what!" Who fricken cares anymore, we're all so sick of hearing about the "Hispanic Vote"

    Can't wait to see the look on their faces when they see the "American Vote"

    Last Nov. didn't teach these idiots anything, and now they are willing to commit voter fraud to stop the 2012 elections, thank you everyone you have really rattled some serious cages!

    And don't think for one minute that "We the People" don't have a little somethin' somethin' for the backstabbers in congress!

    "because we have an affinity for burros," Ah-Ha.. Pulling the Ole ass card. "The browning of America." Yes tanning booths cause cancer.
    Illegal aliens are a cancer on the American Lung. If not removed? Gonna kill us. And not just "conservatives".
    "But best of all, we’re Latinos: christened last decade as the nation’s large minority, with muchos of us in swing states."
    BEST OF ALL? You selfish jerk! Latino racist, arrogant, unappreciative imbecile!
    This morons entire spew is nothing but one race above the rest.
    I want to ask the chosen ones.. What if you woke up one day and all Americans not Latino were all gone. What would Hispanics and Latinos have then?
    I'll answer, the same third world corrupt dumps you left.
    Ignorant Idiots!
