Arizona citizenship law...a bigtime winner for the GOP? |
|
Today's Denver Post has a poll showing over 77% agree that Colroado needs a law like Arizona's.
Not a scientific poll, but still, 77% is usually reserved for questions like "Are the Broncos your favorite football team."
Also, the 10 or 12 employees in the staff lunchroom where I work were unanimously and enthusiastically in favor of such a law--EVEN THE FOUR LATINOS!
Unbelievable.
But then, remember, this country elected reagan twice.

10 people in the lunchroom with me, and I was the only one opposed to this?
I agree that many people will vote against them for it, but I disagree that "Nobody is going to vote for the GOP because of this law." I think a larger segment of the US public are reactionary redneck shallow thinkers than you realize.

6. Most people who are so very much in favor of such a thing probably already vote GOP. |

Other people might be OK with it, or even in favor of it, but not to such an extent that it overshadows everything else.

4. the 60+ retired white crowd seemed overjoyred about it last night |
|
100 % agreed that California needs the same law.
Best argument "how can it be racism if Latino isn't a single race but a bunch of races all mixed together"
If only we enforced those employment laws maybe they won't come?

7. This crowd was as follows: |
|
one middle-aged white guy (known rapublican)
two younger males (thirtyish)--one known to have been an enthusiastic Obama supporter in 2008
two older white females (50-60's), one married, one divorced
the rest were 20's to 30's females
four of them latinas!

9. Everyone on my job is against it except the Puerto Rican dude. |
|
He listens to Beck, Limbaugh and Hannity all day long. And I bury him every day when he brings up their bullshit at lunch. It's quite amusing really.
