Conservative's Alienating Hispanics?

I read a recent article highlighting that the Republican Candidates are alienating Hispanics. The article alluded to most of the candidates stances on the path to citizenship issue for illegal aliens already in this country.

In major Hispanic states like New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Florida and Texas some pundits are speculating that Republicans may only garner 8% of the Hispanic vote.

While it is true that during the Republican primary, candidates tend to run to the far right to attract their base, New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, a Republican, has warned the candidates to watch what they say and how they say it. I don't think there is a Republican candidate who favors letting illegals go to the front of the citizenship line, however, I think all candidates support fast track citizenship for aliens who honorable serve in the military.

Hispanics will account for roughly 30 percent of the population by 2050, doubling their political power. In 2008, President Barack Obama's won 67 percent of the Hispanic vote in the general election to 31 percent for Republican John McCain. Compare that to 2004 when Democratic nominee John Kerry won Hispanics by 53 percent to 44 percent for Bush, a Texan who focused heavily on attracting Hispanics.

You know, I have to agree that Republicans are alienating some Hispanics. They are alienating the ones who think it is their right to immigrant illegally; steal identities; sign up for and obtain welfare in many different forms that they did not contribute to; and protests at events carrying Mexican flags.

The Hispanics that Conservatives are not alienating believe in family values; individual responsibility; and, that the U.S. provides "a right to pursue happiness" not a "right to happiness".

Ask N.M. Governor Susana Martinez, FL Senator Marco Rubio and Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval, to name a few, on why they are conservatives as opposed to being Democrats.

Ginsberg's Defining Moment

Indeed, a defining moment for the current Administration who no doubt think the same way.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg took her work break visiting a couple North African countries including Egypt where she dissed the U.S. Constitution by saying "she would not look to the United States Constitution" as an example from which to build democracy in Egypt.

Giving a speech at the University of Cairo law school. Ginsberg said "This is the most wonderful time in which to live and be among the young people who are helping your country and bringing about change during this exceptional transitional period to a real democratic state". Ginsburg went on saying "Think of the people who lived before you and did not have this opportunity because they lived under a dictatorial regime."

Madame Clueless made these comments after weeks of fear and speculation of radical Islamists, including the Muslim Brotherhood, seized power.

Watch the short video below. I say, if you don;t like the U.S. Constitution, then maybe you'll like living under Egypt's and wearing a burka while you read it.

Monday Morning Politics - But a New Game on Thursday

After Nevada. The headlines after Nevada were Romney wins Nevada, Gingrich vows to stay in the race. After it was all said and done, Romney had 48 percent of the vote, Newt Gingrich had 23 percent, Ron Paul had 19 percent and Rick Santorum had 11 percent. This is a clear cut victory for Romney, but it means more that Gingrich and Santorum are runing out of money, than it does that Romney has won 3 out of 5 states as of Monday.

Many more states to go, and the safe bet is on Romney to eventually be the Republican nominee,...maybe after 2 more states or it may take 6 more. But he certainly has the momentum, the organization and the money to come out on top.

Then comes Wednesday night with Santorum winning Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado,...three out of three states. Is this a game changer? I think what will change for sure is the main target of attacks for next two weeks. Hope Rick Santorum is prepared for this.

One more thing for sure,...Santorum now has the wins and the numbers to call on Newt to get out of the race as Gingrich did to him after Newt's South Carolina. That would certainly give Santorum a bump going into the next set of states.

Oh and Ron Paul? He said the results from last night "mixed things up" in the Republican primary. Really? Ron Paul has not won a state and his highest finish is second place,..usually fourth place.

Minnesota results:

Rick Santorum 45%
Ron Paul 27%
Mitt Romney 17%
Newt Gingrich 11%

Missouri results:

Rick Santorum 55%
Mitt Romney 25%
Ron Paul 12%
Newt Gingrich was not on the

Colorado results:

Rick Santorum 40%
Mitt Romney 35%
Newt Gingrich 13%
Ron Paul 12%
