So, do Repugs think they can win national elections without the Latino vote?

[Critters2]

That's certainly the impression one got in watching the hearings.

[Faygo Kid]

1. Repugs? Think? They only scheme. Their thinking is done for them by Rush.

And he can't put two synapses together.

[City Lights]

6. Good answer!

:thumbsup:

[Skittles]

2. they cater so much to their ignorant base they forget about potential voters

yes INDEED

[Tangerine LaBamba]

3. Hell, yes -

you know they're all here illegally, don't you?

I swear, that's how they seem to be thinking.

These old white guys are the perfect dinosaurs - unable to adapt, they're going extinct.

Nice.........................

[Old and In the Way]

5. Who? The Republicans?

Goddamit, I knew we couldn't trust those voting machines. Maybe now that they no longer control the DoJ, they can reap their just awards for being hostile to voting Americans.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

12. Oh, I think having the Obama family

in the White House was just the beginning of their worst nightmares coming true.

Now we've got this "Spick" chick who thinks she's such hot stuff, and have you noticed all the women, and blacks, and people with funny names, and do you think that one Cabinet member is a lesbian, and all those kids working for the administration?

Who do they think they are, anyway?

Americans?

(I am loving it, my friend - let us rejoice and enjoy this ..............)

4. No, the Senators know they can win their home state without the

Latino vote. The presidential candidates are on their own.

[Hepburn]

7. Apparently so....

...cuz the only votes that count are:

White
male
Southern
Repubbies

Right? :eyes:

[AlinPA]

8. Yes. Sessions, Cornyn, Graham, Kyl, Coburn will gain more votes with their racism.

[KamaAina]

10. And the FSM knows there aren't any Latinos in TX or AZ.

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[Critters2]

17. That was gonna be my next question...

No Latinos? In Texas or Arizona? Really? :crazy:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

9. Apparently they just can't help themselves. Being obnoxious shits is so deeply ingrained,

and such a practiced behavior over the last 20 plus years, that they just can't stop on a dime and turn around, even when election results and demographics tell them in no uncertain terms that they'd better.

[Hoyt]

11. That type of behavior excites the GOP Base.

The Republicans don't worry much about minorities. They fear losing their bigoted base more than anything.

[old mark]

13. Without the Latino vote...or the black vote,or the GLBT vote,

or the vote of anyone and everyone who can see through their incredibly stupid bullshit.

Getting to be a pretty small, exclusive party, guys...
smaller every day.

mark

[scheming daemons]

14. Sessions and Graham don't need the latino vote in their states..... yet

They can win with the white racist vote.

[TahitiNut]

15. They're working furiously on the touch-screen voting systems even as we post.

:shrug:

[Rincewind]

16. You must remember

The wing nuts think that everyone else is stupid. They think that they are much, much smarter than the voters, especially minority voters. They figure that by the time the next election comes around, everyone will have forgotten about their behavior, or, if anyone calls them out on it, they can just deny they ever said any of the crap they spouted. As for the Latino vote, they figure all they need to do is speak a few memorized words in Spanish, and be seen eating some generic Mexican food ( probably Taco Bell) and every Latino will fall all over themselves to vote GOP, because " they understand us".

[Critters2]

18. Taco Bell!

:rofl:

[Juche]

19. Karl Rove didn't

He was big on trying to help the GOP win the latino vote because he realized how bad it would be if they lost it. Luckily he failed.

W/o the latino vote the GOP is going to have trouble in Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, etc. The GOP has lost the northeast, west coast and northern midwest in presidential elections in the last few election cycles. W/o the southwest it is going to be even harder for them to win. The dems don't need any of the 13 southern states to win presidential elections if they can win the southwest (colorado, nevada, new mexico, arizona).

The GOP has never been known for being a party of good listeners or being rational people.
