I'm doing this from memory but it's very close.... In 2004 Hispanics went went 58 percent for the Democrats. In 2008, they went 57 percent for Dems (Obama's pres election). In 2010, the went Dem 55 percent. Now this Hispanics who VOTE, not illegals who chant and march. See a trend?? Steady, slow, but less and less Democratic. If the GOP went out and pushed issues and NOT the ones the Dems do... Damn, think the guy across the street from me who out earns me, both him and his wife work, blah blah .... the only thing he has to do with illegals is if he hires some for his lawn care company and -- guess what?

I just thought it was fun - and frankly love the idea that it might annoy liberals. Seriously, anyone who expects to need an under-$10 "secret Santa" gift this Christmas, Hannukah, or Kwanzaa can't go wrong here.<br /><br />Plus, if I ever personally see someone wearing this watch, I will shake your hand and buy you a beer.

And their salary cut to the median salary in the US, with no benefits after leaving office. Then we'll see whom wants to serve their country, or whom wants to serve themselves. And I would say no more running as Dems or Repubs, either. But I'm a radical, I'm told.<br /><br />One nice thing about Mexico, though, that we should apply to Obama: No reelection. Yah, no Mexican politician gets to get reelected. One term, and you is gone. What say, Barrack? Good?<br /><br />And while Obama has now pissed of so many gay folks that we've got a campaign to deny him our funds and our votes, we'd really be pissed if the illegals got to be legal and thus had legal American marriages way before he "evolved" on the issue for us -- and we have to pay more taxes to support their kids! <br /><br />On the other hand, sometimes I think all the gay Americans, and others from around the world, should move to the states of Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Sonora, and the two Bajas, become a majority, and vote us a new nation, a Gay Republic, and be done with it.
