Zero's Hispanic Base Cracking |
2010-07-27 |
More AP, heavily edited and snarked. Obama's once solid support among Hispanics is showing a few cracks, a troubling sign for Democrats desperate to hold onto Congress this fall. Hispanics still overwhelmingly favor the Democratic Party over the GOP, Any idea how many were voters? Legal voters? Or do they all have the same rights as us descendants of legal immigants? But the survey shows Obama gets only lukewarm ratings on issues important to Hispanics and that could bode poorly for the president and his party. That's somewhat understandable, Especially the illegals. Why some of them have actually emmigrated to Mexico! Among Hispanics, 42 percent rate the economy and the recession as the country's biggest problem; unemployment and a lack of jobs come in at 23 percent. How does this polled 'fact' support the writer's assertion that they've been hard hit by job losses? In fairness, this paragraph was originally farther down the page. An unfulfilled promise to overhaul the nation's patchwork immigration system, which Hispanics overwhelmingly want to see fixed, also may be to blame. Patchwork? We can't enforce the laws we have now, so we'll pile 2,000 more pages on top, with pork fat oozing off every page, to fix the "patchwork"? How many days to November 2nd? |
