"GOP pollster Whit Ayres told the Christian Science Monitor the "tone" of the immigration debate has damaged the image of the Republican party among Latino voters.

Said Ayres: "It is pretty obvious that we can't continue to lose Latinos two to one as we did in 2008 and remain competitive as a national party. If we don't do better among Latinos, we are not going to be talking about how to get back Florida in the presidential race, we are going to be talking about how not to lose Texas."

1. Why in the world would ANY Latino vote Republican? Boggles the mind.

2. La Iglesia

In other words, the Churches try hard to make them vote right wing, despite the Vatican's left wing support for social services, they want abortion gone. The stress is on latinos, as well, we are their meal ticket now that Europe is becoming more secular.

5. So are you saying that if a Repuglican Catholic wins the Presidency, they absolutely will take

their orders from the Vatican? Or at least as far as abortion is concerned? That's a scary thought.

8. Fundamentalist churches. Latinos who belong to these churches are usually hard core conservatives

Thank God there are not too many. One exception...Cubans in Florida

7. Why would any woman vote Republican? Heck, why would any black person vote Republican?

I don't get it either.

3. No ensucie con Tejas

The demographics are stacked against you, racist pigs.

4. We already have Romney on video saying he didn't have any "illegals" working for him...

because he was "running for office, for Pete's sake."

6. Easier (less time consuming) to discuss who's been impressed by this bilge . . .

To list all the unimpressed and turned-off voters would take us clear through the General Election. . .
