    President Who? Try to refrain from proclaiming people as President before it actually happens. I expect Hillary Clinton to win easily in 2016 but we'll see what happens. The majority of the Hispanic vote still goes to the Democrats and that will matter over the course of time as more and more Hispanics come to America.

    Why is it always race with you? People vote for their SELF interest.

    That's nice. Democrats still get the majority of the Hispanic vote. My point stands.

    Well, not for much longer. Hispanics are very, pro-God, pro-life and pro-family. They have very conservative values. The majority you speak of is getting smaller.

    We'll see. In the end I believe that Democrats offer better policies for minorities and the minority voters recognize this.

    Since you've gone so far off the subject of the Tea Party, I thought this post is better in this thread.

    Prove it.

    You just implied it in your previous sentence. This conversation is unrelated to Reagan, amnesty and homophobia. Reagan was from Illinois, not the South. And racism was not confined to 11 former slave rebel states.

    There may have been a few that were fiscal conservatives, but one thing is for sure, they were democrats, they were racists segregationists, which was in fact the policy of the democrat party, and they were liberals, go check their platforms if you don't believe me, and that is why they were democrats. If you want to insinuate that conservative racist democrats at some point in time changed from being racist democrats to republicans because that is where racists were welcome, you would have to first name the policies of the GOP that lured them to the party, the time this imaginary switch happened, and the names of those who made the switch. Haven't had one poster provide that information after years of posting on this forum. In this thread,
    [ http://www.politicalforum.com/race-relations/379320-gops-record-race.html ]
    or it may have been this thread:
    [ http://www.politicalforum.com/polit...3-democratic-partys-record-race-mod-edit.html ]
    I have disproved the notion that the parties switched over and over. I'll have to make a thread specific to that myth I think, since it come up so often.

    Correction: *always democrats.

    That's about all you've suggested. Where is the outrage from democrats over the historic racism and discrimination at the hands of Northern democrat politicians like Woodrow Wilson and FDR and a ton of others? Don't hear much about the segregation practiced in Northern states, the black codes and CCR's passed by liberal democrats in well populated Northern cities and counties do we?

    Gee, that seems to be the claim democrats make about conservative blacks today. I am baffled however, as to why blacks would vote for Governors like Orval Faubus or George Wallace, both of whom stood in doorways to block integration of their schools and both of whom had to be forced to integrate by federal troops ordered by the President of the United States. I would love for someone to explain to me how blacks voting for these racist axeholes was somehow in their best interest. Perhaps you could explain that to me as nobody else has been able to. I would love to know why blacks in the South continued to vote for the same racist democrat politicians all across the South in the 60's , 70's, 80's? Democrats held the South well into the 90's, at which point demographic changes and issues like fiscal conservatism and national defense became the top issues and racism and segregation were no longer major issues because Nixon had desegregated the schools back in the late 1960's early 1970's.

    Yeah, well Mitch McConnell will be a footnote in history just like every other Senate Majority Leader of both parties. I'm not as worried about his screwing the Tea Party as he should be about them screwing with him. Like all stupid RINO's, if he put half the effort into defeating democrats as he did defeating his base, he'd be in much better position today, and would have been Majority Leader sooner IMHO.

    There are thousands and thousands of Americans who have moved and are moving to Hispania. You're making it tough on them.

    And the Democrats lose another 5% and they are toast for years to come.

    And as long as the left continues to take for granted the black vote and think of anyone who disagrees as foolish they will continue to turn away from you.

    You seem to think it implausible.

    What is "white racial interest"?

    Can you point me to my free money? I seemed to have missed it. How do I get it?

    Can you show me where whites oppose legally regulated immigration by anyone?

    What free money are whites getting especially disproportionately?

    Even as ineffectual if not harmful to Democrat candidates last election cycle she proved to be? Even as the left wing media is starting to doubt her ability to win as she continues to make everyone painfully aware of you failure as SecDate and her lack of political skills on the campaign trail. Her dwindling crowds even at mainstay halls of liberalism?

    What gives you such confidence she will even win the nomination?

    The Republicans don't have to win a majority or it to beat the Democrats.

    Like what policies and how well have those policies done for minorities the last 8 years?

    Just what dem polices are better? Racial and class division? Genuflecting to illegals? Blacks have voted dem to the tune of 95% for decades. C'mon up here to Chicago's west and south sides and look at the squalor that still exists not to mention the shooting gallery that Obama and local dems ignore.

    another example of Republican racial hate:



    http://thinkprogress.org/election/2...n-funding-go-blacks-get-welfare-crazy-checks/




    A Mississippi state lawmaker said he opposed putting more money into elementary schools because he came from a town where “all the blacks are getting food stamps and what I call ‘welfare crazy checks.’ They don’t work.”
    In an interview with the Clarion-Ledger regarding education funding, state Rep. Gene Alday (R) stated his opposition to a push to increase funding to improve elementary school reading scores. Alday implied that increasing education funding for children in black families would be pointless.
    Alday continued, saying that when he was mayor of Walls, MS, that the times he’d gone to the emergency room had taken a long time. “I laid in there for hours because they (blacks) were in there being treated for gunshots,” he told the newspaper.
    At issue is something called Mississippi’s “third grade reading gate,” a measure passed in 2013, which won’t allow students to advance to fourth grade if they can’t read proficiently. A survey of Mississippi’s school superintendents estimated that about 28 percent of the state’s third graders would have to repeat a grade because they couldn’t pass the reading proficiency exams.
    The idea for the policy came from Florida, where the state invested about $1 billion into schools to pay for reading coaches, teachers and increased attention to students who struggled with reading.
    The Mississippi legislature recently advanced a bill that would provide exceptions to the reading policy for students with learning disabilities. The bill is opposed by Gov. Phil Bryant (R), who supports the third grade gate policy.
    “It’s disappointing that 62 members of the House of Representatives would vote to socially promote children who cannot read,” Bryant told the Clarion-Ledger. “With votes like this, it is little wonder that Mississippi’s public education system has been an abysmal failure.”
    Bryant’s critics suggest that he needs to change his approach. “If the governor is sincere about making universal literacy a gateway, rather than a gatekeeper, he would support full funding for what it will take to get the literacy job done,” said Mike Sayer, co-founder of Southern Echo, a grassroots civil rights group that works with African-American students.
    Alday staunchly opposes increasing the funding. “I don’t see any schools hurting,” he said.





    Pitiful Republicans.
