yeah why would ANYONE vote for candidates who would help their lives?

and there is no more life long welfare.

There's a fine line between improving their lives and just plan spoonfeeding them everything they want.

Yes, actually, they are. Though that's not who conducted the study. Which you'd know if you actually bothered to check the article.

oh I don't know, its not exactly insane to be against a party that hates you or to be afraid of a candidate who has vowed to make life so miserable for Hispanic undocumented residents that they are forced to leave the country on their own.

I think a rational approach to immigration reform would go a long way to repairing the image of the party with Hispanic voters.

How do Republicans discriminate against Latinos? If they took the time to come here legally then more power to them. Now, illegal immigrants should be deported, Latino or otherwise.


they pass laws like that one in Arizona where if you look illegal you can be forced to produce papers to prove you are a legal resident.
whatever

If you want to look at biased reporting look no further than FOX News.

Actually I'd just look at MSNBC.

Fox News is incredibly biased. But at least they have some liberals on their channel. MSNBC, on the other hand, is nothing but a perpetual liberal circle-jerk.

Tell me again, GOP, why should we ever side with conservatives on anything? Conservatism has always been wrong. Conservatism is the idea that we should go back to how things used to be and curtail the social progress for equality that has been made. When blacks got the right to vote conservatives and the right wing opposed complete integration. They have always opposed social progress even though looking back we wouldn't be where we are in our civil rights and freedoms without SOCIAL PROGRESS.

your point makes no sense as a response to mine.

you think its wrong to "give them everything they want", fine. my point was that it is not irrational to vote for candidates who would do that for me. is there a point where a voter is supposed to say "no no, that's just too much, I don't want to have too good a life"?

What sort of response were you expecting to 'Minorities only vote Democrat because they help them be lazy criminal moochers'? Especially from someone complaining about the GOP being characterized as the party of old white men?

I can see why they'd wanna vote for someone who wants to give them everything they want. That doesn't mean that Republicans should bend over backwards and give in to their wants.

That wasn't my response at all. Not even close. I was saying that the Dems want to make it easier for illegals to become citizens then if they were actually legal. They also want to put them on welfare for the rest of their lives.

that wouldn't be very republican.

that's why it would be better to stop advocating those things that drive Hispanics away, like demonizing immigration reform.

I do not see why the Leftists in the United States cry of bias when every other news channel has a liberal bias. It's intriguing, but kind've pathetic actually.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. All news is biased to a certain degree, and Fox News just happens to be the only cable news channel with a conservative slant. So I find it amusing when die-hard MSNBC fans attack Fox News, and blind themselves to their own hypocrisy.

Immigration reform is fine. But we should also secure the border which is something Dems haven't even considered.
