Latinos Almost Universally Disapprove Of The GOP's Racism

This is remarkable, and a serious sign to the President as to what to do to eliminate the GOP in the 2012 Election.

Latino support for the Republican Party is weak, despite growing concerns over President Obama's lack of immigration solutions, according to a recent poll.

The poll, conducted by impreMedia, a U.S.-based Hispanic news and information organization, reported that only 9 percent of Latino voters said they would vote for a Republican candidate in general, while 8 percent said they might.

Although the poll showed that many Latinos lacked confidence in the GOP, the survey also showed that some were unsure about whether they would support Obama. Only 43 percent said they would vote for the president's re-election in 2012, although 70 percent said they approved of Obama.

"I think the most interesting story here is how badly the Republicans are faring with Latinos," said Gary Segura, a political science professor at Stanford University. "It is as if Latinos are not pro-Democrat, but rather anti-Republican."

The poll, which surveyed 500 Latino voters between Jan. 24 and Feb. 5 in states with high Hispanic populations, also revealed that 47 percent of participants ranked immigration as the top priority that should be addressed by Obama and Congress.

This makes the GOP's road in 2012 nearly impossible, but their future is likely bleak. A 17% share of the 2012 Latino vote in New Mexico, Nevada, California, and Colorado makes those states impossible, and could make Texas and Arizona difficult holds for the GOP. Their racism has finally alienated Latinos completely. It's hard to come back from that.

So, how does the President go from 43% to 80%? Well, it's simple. Go to the Hill and call for comprehensive immigration reform. Call for it, campaign for it, and push the issue. Either the GOP passes it, which is good, or they commit suicide, which is also good, since it will still happen. The GOP is divided on this issue- the bigots want to send back the Latinos, and the "business conservatives" want to keep them here, as people without rights, making slave wages. Force their hand. Call their bluff.
