Subscribe to RSSNBC Latino: "A new impreMedia/Latino Decisions tracking poll shows Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has a really big gender gap issue when it comes to Latina voters. According to the poll, Latina voters favor President Obama over Mitt Romney by a 53 point margin – 74 percent to 21 percent. What is more, 88 percent of Latinas say they are certain to vote in November. What is driving these numbers might be answered by one of the key questions of the poll. When asked which party could be more trusted to make the right decisions on issues of concern to women, almost eight out of ten Latinas (78 percent) said the Democrats could be more trusted, versus 13 percent who favored the Republican party. ...
"Hispanic women voters are not just favoring the Democratic candidate; they are favoring the Democratic party. While Romney’s favorability is only 22 percent among Latinas, it is even less for Republicans in Congress – only 20 favorability among Hispanic women."

More faulty polling!
I'm sure they must be oversampling Hispanic women in this poll...
I would say that this falls under it sucks to be Mitt category.
"I'm sure they must be oversampling Hispanic women in this poll..."
You got it, dangerfield - when it comes to polls about the issues important to Latina voters, they just NEVER ask us Norwegian/ Danish women what WE think! Those lousy pollsters...... :(
dangerfield
i still find it amusing that they say the polls are wrong or one sided when it showed Obama as winning, and then even Fox's own poll showed that Obama is winning
it is more faulty polling. Its merely drumming up race baiting where its not relevant. Unless these latina's arent American, I dont see hyphenated Americans. I dont see Latina Americana, I don't see African American. I see American regardless of skin, ehtnicity, religion etc. This is the garbage out of the media and more in particular NBC
MSNBC must be in the tank for Rombot!
They call it a "problem", when it is apparent that it is either an "insoluble quandry" or a "vexing conundrum".
I suppose the 'vote for us and get on the bus" plank of the platform isn't playing to well.
If only Rombot could talk to one of his 12 grandmothers!
um CA sadly you just proved my post
now i really can't take you seriously
it is more faulty polling. Its merely drumming up race baiting where its not relevant.
Caesar - The race baiting started with SB1070, and that is an issue the Repubes started, to fuel the fires of the right wing.
good one. thanks for the laugh!
dangerfield: *chucle*, what is even funnier is that the GOP regulars won't get the joke.
you say SB1070 mentions a specific race? Or are you insinuating that our closest border that has an immigration problem (into our country) happens to be hispanic and ergo a race issue? I think its a country issue (Mexico that is nearly 3rd world) and the US (slightly better). How many Canadiens are fleeing up there to the US? Nah GT, I think its the left that likes to SEPARATE people into grievance classes in order to 'divide and conquer' if you will.
I dont see Latina Americana, I don't see African American. I see American regardless of skin, ehtnicity, religion etc.
Caesar -
Your so full of @!$%#, it coming out your ears!!!!!

Nah GT, I think its the left that likes to SEPARATE people into grievance classes in order to 'divide and conquer' if you will.
Caesar - This issue is totally Tea-Party. Everytime I turned on the TV, particularly during the 2010 mid-terms, some RWNJ was sreaming that the "Communist Kenyan's" army of illegals was flowing over our borders to destroy our nation....

If President Obama and the Democratic party are so divisive, why do they lead in almost every demographic category except for "old white men"?
Sounds like a pretty inclusive, diverse approach to me.......

Im sure you took me ever so serious before but I doubt i proved your post. I dont care for polls. They could have Romney in the lead and I'll say the same thing. NOVEMBER COUNTS!.

Poor Little Seizure...no debating skills AND not too bright.
Say, your employer lets you post from work? You must have a great boss.
So, how many time have you lost the "debate" today? Judging from your empty posts, I'd say it's lots...
PIZZA! PIZZA!
@hag,
They know they need 60% of the White vote to win. They know they have alienated just about every other demographic.
The problem is, they are going after low-info talking-points-repeating voters.
CA i do have to admit that polls don't really matter much the thing that matters is the general election
I just find it funny that republicans are trying to down play the poll results when their own Fox news poll shows Obama in the lead
i cant take anyone who doesn't think for themselves seriously so its not just you
I'll make you the Grand Poobah if it makes you feel better
Thank you Caesar, that's quite an honor....
thinking for yourself would constitute what again LOL.
empty posts eh? Well Mickey whatever you maybe, I doubt i can live up to your standards LOL. So sure I lost but Im not the person that has a thing for Burning Man.
you get first crack at my leg from now on. Mickey has to wait for sloppy whatever
I prefer African-American thank you very much. Because I'm not just American. I also have a unique history of how I got here. I don't really like white men who tell me what I can and can't call myself. Check your privilege Caeser. That is exactly why the GOP can't get minority votes. They're too busy telling us what to do and how to identify ourselves and not concerning themselves with what our needs are and how they are different from the average American. So busy trying to lump us into the category of being like everyone else that they forget our unique differences and stories.
and quit with the delusional BS. you don't see "just American." If everyone saw "just American" half the comments on this site wouldn't be thinly veiled racist attacks.
Obama - going forward... or wait a second!!
from site http://triblive.com/opinion/2596285-74/percent-rate-labor-unemployment-august-average-17-double-economic-growth#axzz26kildYPF
The economy was creating 153,000 new jobs per month last year. That dropped during the first seven months of this year to an average of 139,000 per month. In August, we were down to 96,000.
It takes more than 100,000 new jobs per month just to stay even with the number of people entering the labor force. It would take double that number over a decade to bring today’s jobless rate down to the unemployment levels of 2007.
So Obama, which way is forward again?
BTW, loved it when Biden said "ask Osama if he is better off now than 4 years ago" why not ask Chris Stevens Joe?
Aww...Little Seizures feewings are huut...but hey, on a lighter note, your "debating" skills need a bit of work.
How's work going, Seizure? On a break?
Anyhoo...you're just jealous about the whole Burning Man thing, I can tell. You have no creativity, Seizure... besides, you haven't ventured past the curb in front of the trailer park without holding mommies hand, right?
It's ok....there's always next year.
Caesar you seem educated, then you should know that Obama didn't make these last four years hell for you. This nonsense started over 40 years ago when this nation turned into a consumer based economy. Read a little more so you can point the finger in the right direction, the American people started this economical collapse when we began to purchase things we couldn't afford with the aid of...credit cards. Fact not Fiction
National Debt per person when Obama took office = $31,000
National Debt per person today = $53,000
Now, add up the number of people living in your house, what doest that make your household worth?
sirie - your "ask Chris Stevens" is about as low as it gets. Yes, we had a devasting event at our Embassy and four brave Americans died. To make light of that is disgusting. To imply that a Republican in office would have made a difference is disingenuous at best. Your post is beyond offensive and your use of a diplomat's death to make a point is disgusting. We all saw what happened under George Bush - on our own soil.
You've stooped to a new low - even for a Republican.
Too bad you aren't honest enough to place the blame for the economy where it belongs - squarely on the shoulders of Republicans in Congress. But, that would mean you've have to be honest and you've clearly shown that is beyond your grasp!
Obama/Biden 2012
Sirie
Blaming one person for the debt climbing is like me blaming a MLB pitcher for an injury occuring in the NFL. I thought adults understood what residual effects are, and that one man can't possibly be the blame of what 43 other men have helped destroy. Obama is no worse or better than any other POTUS, they have the toughest job and people who probably never took a course outside of high school in economics think they know what's best.
Here is Barack Obama's Main Accomplishments
Barack Obama's Main Accomplishment:
Signed the National Defence Authorization Act (NDAA) Bill into Law allowing any US citizen to Be Detained WITHOUT trial (A federal Court Blocked it in May because it Violates the Constitution, but Obama is not trying to get it UNBLOCKED!). (Source: rt(DOT)com/usa/news/obama-indefinite-detention-forrest-070/ )
He has Killed HUNDREDS of Innocent people (Including 3 American Citizens) in Pakistan and Yemen with Drone Strikes (He’s Ordered even more drone strikes than Bush!). (Source: www(DOT)slate(DOTcom/articles/news_and_politics/map_of_the_week/2012/06/obama_drone_strikes_the_president_ordered_more_than_george_w_bush.html )
The rate of National Debt under George Bush was Around $60 Billion a Month. Under Obama, it’s been $190 Billion a Month, so that would be Nearly $600 Per US Citizen (Thanks Obama!). (Source: cnsnews(DOT)com/node/72404 and www(DOT)cbsnews(DOT)com/8301-503544_162-57400369-503544/national-debt-has-increased-more-under-obama-than-under-bush/ )
Obama Care: Page 22. MANDATES, The Government will Audit Book of ALL Employers who Self Insure. Page 50, Section 152, Health Care WILL be Provided to ALL Non US Citizens, Illegal or otherwise. Page 126, Lines 22-25, Employers Must Pay for Their Part time Employees Health Care AND Their Families. Page 127, Lines 1-16, The Government WILL Tell you How much Money you can Make.
Obama has By-passed Congress to Enable the DREAM Act (Unconstitutional to By-Pass Congress, and the Illegals he allowed to become Legal Citizens has Committed over 19 Murders and Over 142 Sex crimes). (Source: www(DOT)theblaze(DOT)com/stories/obama-orders-his-own-version-of-the-dream-act-video/ and www(DOT)westernjournalism(DOT)com/breaking-documents-show-obama-implemented-dream-act-despite-congress-rejection/ )
Obama Claims he Campaigned in 57 States (Maybe he wasn’t Born in this Country?). (Source: www(DOT)youtube(DOT)com/watch?v=OrsBKGpwi58 and latimesblogs(DOT)latimes(DOT)com/washington/2008/05/barack-obama-wa.html )
Obama abused his powers and ATTACKED Libya without congressional Approval (Source: www(DOT)nytimes(DOT)com/2011/03/22/world/africa/22powers.html?_r=1
Now, if you still like him, you're either an Absolute IDIOT or a Communist.
To respond to F6Zman's ignorant post, here's the truth about our POTUS, and I support ANY man or woman who runs my country:
1. Passed Health Care Reform: After five presidents over a century failed to create universal health insurance, signed the Affordable Care Act (2010). It will cover 32 million uninsured Americans beginning in 2014 and mandates a suite of experimental measures to cut health care cost growth, the number one cause of America’s long-term fiscal problems.
2. Passed the Stimulus: Signed $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009 to spur economic growth amid greatest recession since the Great Depression. Weeks after stimulus went into effect, unemployment claims began to subside. Twelve months later, the private sector began producing more jobs than it was losing, and it has continued to do so for twenty-three straight months, creating a total of nearly 3.7 million new private-sector jobs.
3. Passed Wall Street Reform: Signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (2010) to re-regulate the financial sector after its practices caused the Great Recession. The new law tightens capital requirements on large banks and other financial institutions, requires derivatives to be sold on clearinghouses and exchanges, mandates that large banks provide “living wills” to avoid chaotic bankruptcies, limits their ability to trade with customers’ money for their own profit, and creates the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (now headed by Richard Cordray) to crack down on abusive lending products and companies.
4. Ended the War in Iraq: Ordered all U.S. military forces out of the country. Last troops left on December 18, 2011.
5. Began Drawdown of War in Afghanistan: From a peak of 101,000 troops in June 2011, U.S. forces are now down to 91,000, with 23,000 slated to leave by the end of summer 2012. According to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, the combat mission there will be over by next year.
6. Eliminated Osama bin laden: In 2011, ordered special forces raid of secret compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in which the terrorist leader was killed and a trove of al-Qaeda documents was discovered.
7. Turned Around U.S. Auto Industry: In 2009, injected $62 billion in federal money (on top of $13.4 billion in loans from the Bush administration) into ailing GM and Chrysler in return for equity stakes and agreements for massive restructuring. Since bottoming out in 2009, the auto industry has added more than 100,000 jobs. In 2011, the Big Three automakers all gained market share for the first time in two decades. The government expects to lose $16 billion of its investment, less if the price of the GM stock it still owns increases.
8. Recapitalized Banks: In the midst of financial crisis, approved controversial Treasury Department plan to lure private capital into the country’s largest banks via “stress tests” of their balance sheets and a public-private fund to buy their “toxic” assets. Got banks back on their feet at essentially zero cost to the government.
9. Repealed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”: Ended 1990s-era restriction and formalized new policy allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military for the first time.
10. Toppled Moammar Gaddafi: In March 2011, joined a coalition of European and Arab governments in military action, including air power and naval blockade, against Gaddafi regime to defend Libyan civilians and support rebel troops. Gaddafi’s forty-two-year rule ended when the dictator was overthrown and killed by rebels on October 20, 2011. No American lives were lost.
11. Told Mubarak to Go: On February 1, 2011, publicly called on Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to accept reform or step down, thus weakening the dictator’s position and putting America on the right side of the Arab Spring. Mubarak ended thirty-year rule when overthrown on February 11.
12. Reversed Bush Torture Policies: Two days after taking office, nullified Bush-era rulings that had allowed detainees in U.S. custody to undergo certain “enhanced” interrogation techniques considered inhumane under the Geneva Conventions. Also released the secret Bush legal rulings supporting the use of these techniques.
13. Improved America’s Image Abroad: With new policies, diplomacy, and rhetoric, reversed a sharp decline in world opinion toward the U.S. (and the corresponding loss of “soft power”) during the Bush years. From 2008 to 2011, favorable opinion toward the United States rose in ten of fifteen countries surveyed by the Pew Global Attitudes Project, with an average increase of 26 percent.
14. Kicked Banks Out of Federal Student Loan Program, Expanded Pell Grant Spending: As part of the 2010 health care reform bill, signed measure ending the wasteful decades-old practice of subsidizing banks to provide college loans. Starting July 2010 all students began getting their federal student loans directly from the federal government. Treasury will save $67 billion over ten years, $36 billion of which will go to expanding Pell Grants to lower-income students.
15. Created Race to the Top: With funds from stimulus, started $4.35 billion program of competitive grants to encourage and reward states for education reform.
16. Boosted Fuel Efficiency Standards: Released new fuel efficiency standards in 2011 that will nearly double the fuel economy for cars and trucks by 2025.
17. Coordinated International Response to Financial Crisis: To keep world economy out of recession in 2009 and 2010, helped secure from G-20 nations more than $500 billion for the IMF to provide lines of credit and other support to emerging market countries, which kept them liquid and avoided crises with their currencies.
18. Passed Mini Stimuli: To help families hurt by the recession and spur the economy as stimulus spending declined, signed series of measures (July 22, 2010; December 17, 2010; December 23, 2011) to extend unemployment insurance and cut payroll taxes.
19. Began Asia “Pivot”: In 2011, reoriented American military and diplomatic priorities and focus from the Middle East and Europe to the Asian-Pacific region. Executed multipronged strategy of positively engaging China while reasserting U.S. leadership in the region by increasing American military presence and crafting new commercial, diplomatic, and military alliances with neighboring countries made uncomfortable by recent Chinese behavior.
20. Increased Support for Veterans: With so many soldiers coming home from Iraq and Iran with serious physical and mental health problems, yet facing long waits for services, increased 2010 Department of Veterans Affairs budget by 16 percent and 2011 budget by 10 percent. Also signed new GI bill offering $78 billion in tuition assistance over a decade, and provided multiple tax credits to encourage businesses to hire veterans.
21. Tightened Sanctions on Iran: In effort to deter Iran’s nuclear program, signed Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act (2010) to punish firms and individuals who aid Iran’s petroleum sector. In late 2011 and early 2012, coordinated with other major Western powers to impose sanctions aimed at Iran’s banks and with Japan, South Korea, and China to shift their oil purchases away from Iran.
@Big daddy lint Really? Increased benefits from the army? You are DELUSIONAL! He has taken Benefits AWAY from the Army and he has Labeled all Veterans as "Terrorists", all Veterans and Soldiers I know hate him. Osama bin laden is fake, 9/11 was an inside job, Experts are speaking out and say it was an inside job, here is a Documentary on PBS: video(DOT)cpt12(DOT)org/video/2270078138
A federal Judge Blocked Obama's NDAA bill allowing the Assassination and Detention of ANY us citizen without trial. And yes, Gadaffi was very evil, trying to open up water ways in Africa for the poor countries, we can't let that happen now, can we?
Obama Continued where Bush left off and our Next president Mitt Romney will continue where Obama left off.
Obomney! Change less change. Same thing just Different Parties.
Pizza Pizza. Feelings hurt Mickey, not hardly. Like i said you attend burning man and have high standards LOL..irony
Ask me the question was I better off 4 years ago compared to today. Then tell me what is hell and what isn't. Sure, I can blame Chaos theory for the economic woes of 40 years ago but seriously. We're talking now.
bad analogy.
dont make promises you can't keep. What happens if the MLB pitcher claims to 'will win world series' and doesnt? blame the NFL quarterback?
as for difficult decisions, what ones will he make? tax cuts expiring? He certainly couldnt wait for the ACA.
@Big daddy Lint Really? You support anyone who runs your country? Even if a Person came to power and killed 60 million US Citizens to disarm the Country and Made the US a communist country, like what happened in China, you would still support that Person? Gee, the "Sheeple" are out in full force today.
Poor Little Seizure...gets his ass handed to him on a daily basis, and STILL can't connect the dots as to why that is...but if you're nice I'll enlighten you. It does have something to do with those killer "debating skills" you possess.
As far as Burning Man goes, you brought it up, remember? Sure you do. You were smart enough to figure out the avatar, so why is that? Like I said, not a creative bone in your body.
How's break coming along...pretty long one I see.
PIZZA! PIZZA!
Well let me know when you 'debate' Mickey. in the mean time you're just another Libby Crip Poser. Like i said show me some original thought instead of trying to impress your idiot friends.
surely you can prove that. Who names their kid Mickey anyways?
like i said, Pizza Pizza, EYE RAH NEE. Don't be a hater and get off my leg pug.
c
Poor Little Seizure....again with the analogies...Libby Crip Poser? You must have dug deep to think of that one, right Seizure?
Sure you did...I can smell the wood burning from here.
When I feel you know the difference between "pointing out hypocrisies" and "debating skills", then you will have reached a milestone. Until then, you have nothing. And to be honest, I don't see you ever progressing beyond that point. You just don't have it in your DNA. You're hard-wired to be a putz, what can I tell you...
Just how long can you go getting your ass handed to you on a daily basis before you become insignificant?
I'd say you've reached THAT threshold, my fuzzy little friend.
For that, you can be proud...hold that torch high Seizure...hold it high.
thats what i thought Mickey. If you repeat this, does it make it true? you can discuss the merits of what I say or those on the right or you can continue to be a bootlicker. The choice is yours. Somehow i think the latter is up your alley. Hard wired and all. But lets not talk about having nothing.
just a lot of hot air and empty words Mickey. You do the same thing to Spanky and well Ive seen him hand your azz multiple times. But I need to bite off him and just kind of let you have your 'victory'. Don't worry your little insignificant clique has your back. Must embolden you.
whatever you say Mickey. Seriously who names their kid that. Just wrong.
what you really mean is you no likey what i have to say because it isnt Oba Mao cheerleading. I guess that would seem a bit simplistic to the feeble minded.
I'll hold that torch high Mickey as long as you wear your ignorance like a badge of honor, deal?
As for thresholds, dont let the door hit ya.
Poor Little Seizure...no friends here...maybe back over at Fox Nation and The Blaze you were the tits, but here...not so much...why is that? Maybe if you weren't a putz, you'd get some respect...but you can dream, right?
Sure you can...
See...pointing out "hypocrisies" is not "debating"...that's called being an @!$%#...so, carry on pointing out those "hypocrisies", Little Seizure...
You like Romney so much you're voting for him, right? If you're voting for him, why not defend him?
Because you can't...
Because you won't...
So, how's your boss feel that you're posting on his time? You do know that that is stealing, right? Or is that ok in your simple minded world. I bet he just loves your productivity, huh...
Sure he does...
Better keep that sack handy...for your ass, I mean....you're going to need it.
PIZZA! PIZZA!
Caesar
You saying you're worse than you were four years ago is not a valid argument. Once again, residual effects. You can't possibly blame one man for the mistakes of many. And you totally misunderstood my analogy, you saying that the current POTUS is why your life is worse now sounds very uneducated. You seem to be informed just misguided. The reason why the economy is the way it is is because of choices we made 40-50 years ago. This is fact, not opinion. As soon as credit cards were invented and Americans began buying things we couldn't afford we were doomed. Not one person can fix this country in four years, and he definitely didn't make your life a living hell. He literally doesn't have that power. I wish a candidate would be honest and tell the American people that life will be hard, and people will be taxed more, but we will be better in the long run. But most of us are like you Caesar, blaming the president for our mistakes instead of owning them. How did Barrack Obama or any other POTUS directly affect your life to make it hell???
F6Zman
Dude what are you talking about??? I'm trying to have an intelligent conversation, if you're not please let me know and I won't respond to you. I am a veteran and I don't hate him, I disagree with some of his policies but I disagree with some of every presidents policy. And when did he label me and my fellow veterans terrorists??? I'm speaking fact not fiction
Those few Latinas that are for Mitt are probably the housekeepers for the Romney manorhouses and wives of the gardeners, chauffers, and handymen who help keep things comfortable for Mitt and Ann.
Big Daddy Lint,
I've enjoyed your posts today and think they are well thought out. Caesar does nothing but attack the posters. I've been on the short end of his stick before and eventually like a bad dog, will retreat and go back up to his porch while the rest of the big dogs stay in the game. Pay him no mind ....
Layton
Sorry I'm too lazy to type the numbers. I do agree with some of the things that Caesar says, but some of it seems like misguided hate. Many people don't realize the powers that the president have and tend to blame him for things he has no control of like giving them a job, an embassy being attacked and him not sending in troops immediately, he's somehow not American when you have to show a birth certificate to work at McDonald's, or once he was a radical christian attending Rev Jeremiah Wrights church and now he's somehow a Muslim. The stupidity never stops, and people don't focus on the real issues. That's the real problem with the country, people are ignorant and allergic to facts and think they are informed. They believe 2+2=5 even though you've proven it equals 4.
sure collectively but then why have a president? You see where that goes right, top man gets blame or kudos. residual effects sure. Bush gets no pass from me but im not going back 40 years, that would be disingenious. However Obama and pipe dreams, Yes we can of 08 and Hope and Change. Bumper sticker slogans have yet to improve anything.
actually he did and then he punted. But look for yourself.
the blame goes where it belongs. He vowed against Bush and then did the opposite. Why won't Obama run on his record?
pay no mind to Layton, most of the time its hardcore left shilling without substance. Thats why Layton doesnt likey me. Big Daddy was civilized and well thought out, deserving of civil discussion.
nope, just the left of castro crowd like you and mickey and gt and feisty and newday et al. The list is huge. Dont get me wrong big daddy lint, I am no fan of Romney, I'd rather change the guard at this point though. The legislative and executive branches need to work together like in the past, crossing party lines for whats best for the country. Obama didnt. GOP didnt. Democrats didnt.
And I advocate changing the guard every 4 until they can start living up to their promises (the major ones). that goes for every pol too.
Big Daddy Lint, no worries on the numbers, wish they hadn't popped up when I created the account, but it is what it is.
Caesar ...
Calling total BS on that one. I tried once to have a civil discourse with you and got "you need your friends around to back you up."
You sometimes present a reasonable thought but the name calling BS has to go. By the by, if you ever took a moment to read a profile, I'm female and not an "it." Rather than attacking the posters and calling us all the "castro crowd," post something you believe in.
I'm not totally thrilled with where this country is but I do believe that the President has the best interests of the majority of this country at heart. People like Mitt Romney who believe that 47% of this country pay no taxes and only live for their entitlements are not someone I could support or stand behind. My question to you, Caesar, is why do YOU?
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/49066551#49066551
the only one who would be "oversampling" Latinas would be the ummmm wasn't there a GOVERNOR recently who shtupped the maid? I'm half sure he was from CA, 100% sure he was REPUBLICAN.. OH and ROMNEY has latina maids, they taught his SON to speak Spanish and his WIFE just guffaws and gushes not knowing a WORD he says but it MUST be great, it's speaking in TONGUES! All hail the mighty Joseph!
The Republicans are reaping what they sowed trying to whip up the working class white voters by demonising Hispanic immigrants.
Latinas would be crazy to vote for the political party that blocked letting young people who came here as children, work or attend college, legally.
Why is Mitt even bothering with CA? He doesn't have a chance in hell of carrying it. That's like Obama campaigning in Utah.
It sure does suck when that pandering thingy comes back to bite you in the ass.
Guess that Latina Governor speaking at the RNC didn't quite seal the deal.....but then perhaps there's always Rubio!....lol
Hoping our resident know-it-all on everything Hispanic pops in. I would think Romney would be a wee bit smarter than to try and talk to the Hispanics after telling him his immigration policy was to self-deport.
The whole term "Self-Deportation" was a joke started as a satire against Gov. Pete Wilson's support of CA prop. 187, which intended to prevent illegal immigrants in CA from using hospitals and schools, amongst other things.
Now that the GOP has Willard "Mitt" Romney as its official candidate for President, it makes perfect sense that his immigration policy would be a joke.
What's the percentage for Democrats in congress?
Not high enough if you ask me.
devie, good one!
Jody,
Really?
thetotas, yes, because you should try Google or another source instead of expecting others to answer questions you can and should easily and quickly research for yourself. Yes, because we need more democrats in Congress to replace the crazy, radical tea-nuts who have done nothing for 2 years except obstruct, delay and deny--and WE'RE paying their wages to do nothing.
Lighten up theotas. I'm just stating my opinion. I can't help it if most of the GOP has lost their marbles.
Try this site T you'll have to do the math though.
http://hobnobblog.com/congress-by-the-numbers/
thetotas -
Assuming you were asking about the just 20% favorability rating for the Republicans in Congress, the survey they linked to above also says:
"Among Latino voters, there is a marked gender advantage for Obama and the Democrats. For example, 68 percent of Hispanic women say they will vote for Democrats in the U.S. House, compared to 59 percent of Hispanic men — a nine-point difference."
Thetotas, here is the answer more or less depending where you go. This is from Gallup but any other media is about the same.
The real question here is, if republicans are such a minority then why is the race so close?
As far as the Latina vote I guess that puts me in the 21% for Romney. I'm Black and Latina so where do I figure on that?
Romney/Ryan for 2012. Juntos vamos a sacar a Berraco de la Casa Blanca.
If you don't know where you figure, I'd say you are a lost cause.
concern: Even Repubs do not like or trust Romney....do you really....or are you just another ABO voter?
Anyone see the clip of Santorum saying...."We'll never have the elite, smart people on our side"!
Good Grief!....True!
It's not very close and the gap is widening rapidly. After Romney is humiliated in the presidential debates it will be all over for him.

Great question for Concern Dragon ... hoping you get an answer. She's always touting the wonders of all things Republican but am guessing she's an ABO.
chilled - what's sad is when you slam your own suppoters and they don't realize they've been slammed! OMG - they truly ARE dense!
Obama/Biden 2012
Yup - and for proof positive of really dumb, watch the Mitchell Reports clip when his dumb-blond spokesman, Andrea Stewart, quadruples down on stupid. Funniest thing I've watched in a long time.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3096434/#49063460
It really is sad, SS.
Especially since their chosen candidate, Romney is a graduate of those villified elite schools, unless he really was educated/home schooled in Mexico....
There is no explaining Santorum, but he was speaking at the Value Voters RWNJ Thingy!...I wonder if those in attendance understood that he was calling them DUMB!......Yeah, stay dumb and vote for dumbness!
Those polls look pretty close to me SailCat. Now I have a question, who out there supporting Obama is really just "ABR" anything but Republican?
I voted for President Obama, but he just keeps spending money we don't have, my kids and grandkids will be paying that down for YEARS.
It is easy to grow Pell grants by 95% when you are NOT paying for them, hell I could even do that! How about we start paying for all these great programs, and I'm talking to both Repubs and Dems!
Every person in the USA is in debt by our Federal Government for $53,000.00, compared to $31,000 when Obama took office. even newborns, even 90 year old retirees
Even Obama said that it was reckless to have 10 Trillion in debt, and that was 6 TRILLION dollars ago
You're just not looking closely enough. Do these electoral maps look close, too?

CONCERN:
'Juntos vamos a sacar a Berraco de la Casa Blanca'......eh, NO: lo tienes que sacar solo, porque la mayoria de latinos ya saben Rombot es un opportunista sin moral.....
Viva America, viva nuestro Presidente Barack Obama
Concerned: you just stated that you're ALL for Ream Me's plan to legislate over YOUR vagina. You just stated that you're ALL FOR Romney taxing YOU out of existence because HE shouldn't have to pay! You just stated that you're ALL FOR war in Iran, and sending LATINO AMERICANS to death, because they make up a HEFTY section of the military recruits. You just stated that the ARIZONA PROFILING of Mexican Americans is FULLY okay from YOUR standpoint. (hope you're not from AZ, DEFINITELY don't plan on visiting, it's DEPORT FIRST ask LATER in AZ now.)
Sure honey, it's a free vote. You hoping to become Arnie's maid and get child support? Last I heard it was Eastwood they have as actor representing the Repubs. Arnie's been put in the basement. Go ahead and defend everything that's going to shoot your foot, and your other foot, and shoot on sight in AZ, and your wallet, get your app in for nanny wtih Romney! He might go so far as to FIRE you, and you can GUSH about it!
I turned on TV in time to catch a bit of Mitt's speech. Let's just say he must think Latinos either won't remember or aren't smart enough to know that in Sep 2008, this country's entire economy collapsed, that we suffered the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Lost jobs, Mr. Mitt, were the collateral damage of 30 years of failed trickle down, de-regulate, starve government, cut taxes, decrease middle-income family incomes, give more to the rich, let the banks run amok GOP policies.
Isn't Romney the one that likes to fire Latino's because he is running for President?
If a Republican would take any responsibilty for the deficit run up by two wars and tax cuts, they'd have a whole lot more credibilty in criticizing President Obama.
Isn't Romney the one that likes to fire Latino's because he is running for President?
um, source for that info?
Amy, agreed but OBAMA said it was RECKLESS to run up the debt that high, remember?
"I'm running for office, for Pete's sake! We can't have illegals!" —Mitt Romney, recalling his reaction when he learned that there were illegal aliens working the ground on his property, employed by a firm that he subsequently fired (October 2011)
From the survey linked to above:
"Among them, “the hostile rhetoric about immigrants has been gendered — “anchor babies” is a slur directed at Hispanic mothers,” writes Manzano. Another reason, she posits, is that issues of concern to Latina women voters include affordable health care and DREAM act support, not necessarily the “women’s issues” like abortion or contraception, which do not rank high among priorities for Hispanic voters. This is further explained by the fact that for Hispanic women, especially mothers, increased health care affordability and availability and a priority on DREAM Act legislation are seen as economic issues."
Gosh, Hispanic mothers don't like the term "anchor babies" - imagine that.
And Hispanic women - like the rest of us - see affordable health care and the DREAM ACT as economic issues. Imagine that.
Guess Romney just standing up and spouting numbers about Hispanic unemployment ain't gonna turn this tide, either, huh? Imagine that.....
Good post, JoAnne,
Why ANY woman is thinking of voting for Romney is amazing to me. I'd love to see someone post why she, as a rational thinking woman, would vote for someone that never has and never will think of her as more than a second class citizen . . . no matter the color of skin . . . just because you're female.
JoAnne, well said. The GOP's harsh words and policies are anti-Latino, actually anti-immigrant period; then they wonder why President Obama has a 53 point lead over Romney among Latinos; they wonder why Latinos choose democrats?
Layton, why any woman would vote for any republican at all is beyond me.
Kind of makes you wonder who's running Romney's campaign, doesn't it? He/she/they seem to be just as oblivious as the candidate himself. And I wouldn't have thought that was possible.
The GOP has to work way to hard to get the RWNJs aka their base. Their incessant pandering to those clowns has most likely lost them the election. THANK GOD!!!!
There are plenty of evangelical christian women who have no problems with the R/R woman agenda, since outlawing abortion, banning certain birth control methods, and pushing for the continuance of DOMA are all that matters to them...
When the GOP response to any questions from anyone who looks Hispanic is "SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS" is it any wonder that Republicans are not going to be getting very many votes ?
I can see the complexities of comprehensive immigration reform but when all the GOP candidates (except for Perry) couldn't even get behind the DREAM Act, I knew they were sunk with the Latinos. Just what do they expect those kids who were brought here at age 4 or 5 and have never known any other country to do? Self-deport? Really?
Actually, the GOP sunk themselves, when no one in the GOP clown car, resisted those 'hilarious' Herman Cain 'jokes' about electrocuting Hispanics on fences.........It did not go over too well with my mostly republican, Cuban in laws...
Why Tzalaran! <bats southern eyes, waves a fan> You are SO right.. nevermind how those southern belles never like to admit that the pregnancy problem is higher in their OWN states, or that the people on welfare (the 1 in 6 that somehow equals 47%) are predomininantly from THOSE south of the mason-dixon line. <blushes> it TRULY behooves me to find such an intelligent man who can winnow out those air headed southern belles supporting every man forcing them to wear an invisible chastity belt. "why NO you can't have contraceptives. Keep those legs CLOSED darling, here, let me make sure they're closed ENOUGH.. open wide so I can see!" "WELL there ya go, another immaculate conception! NO HO, you can't have money to feed the rugrat you produced, but WE feel it's a HUMAN BEING deserving of RIGHTS so you can't abort it either. It just doesn't deserve food, or shelter, and DEFINITELY doesn't deserve my GOLDEN PENIS pitching in to raise the child." The pitifulness of such AIRheaded idiotic parasitic "clingers of men's arms" makes me think we should deport THEM somewhere where it's highly unlikely for them to procreate anymore.
If paul ryan were so sure that he and Romeny are going to win. Why is he still running for congress?
Because the Koch's told him too?
Standard Operating Procedure for house and senate members running as VP on ticket. Biden did it in '08 iirc...
Joe Biden was running for re-election to the Senate in 2008 at the same time he was running as VP.
The REPUBLICANS, in their party platform, want to build a huge fence across our Mexican border to keep the Mexicans out.
$$$Romney$$$ has said he is in support of that anti-Mexican fence, and he and Ryan both supported Arizona's anti-Mexican law.
Does he think people have forgotten? This rube will be lucky to get ANY Hispanics (except maybe teaboy Rubio) to vote for him.
His Etch-A-Sketch must be broken.
This site is to funny. Wow, if any other President would have done this he would be redicule to the end of the Universe. So Mitt is Etch-A-Sketch, so what do we call Obama? I hope the comedy stations don't get a hold of this. By the way these are all in YouTube.
http://stutteringmessiah.wordpress.com/the-stuttering-messiah/
Problem with the fence idea, they'll have to stop the tunnells, shut down the airports, prevent students and others from overstaying their visas, put a fence along the Canadian border, put a fence along the ocean.
Very few of the "illegal " immigrants are simply people who enter illegally. Most probably enter legally, then they like it here and just decide to stay.
All but the migrant farm workers....then add the landscapers, housekeepers, domestic workers.
...that doesn't leave many that would self-deport.......lol
What the Republicans evidently haven't noticed is that the illegals and the drugs coming across the borders are using tunnels, lots and lots of tunnels. Unless those fences are stuck about thirty feet into the ground, they're not going to stop the coyotes.
uhhhhm.........CONCERN:
I watched the "comedy stations". They are not on YOUTUBE, they have networks!
Hell, no need for writers:........ they replay video of Rombot singing his teanut tunes, and the laughs keep coming!
Who's Romney gonna order to build the fence if he has all his gardeners, nannies, maids and kids who speak Spanish deported?
How hypocritical for the Righties calling the Dems engaging in racism. Are you kidding me? The extreme right won't even acknowledge Obama is the president or even an American. This sort of politics has never happened in history. What is the only difference: Obama is not white. It's no different than the Republicans claiming Democrats are engaging in class-warfare. There's class-warfare going on indeed: The rich and their Tea Party allies are waging war on the middle and lower class. How can any one take these people seriously; they are all serial liars.
You are incorrect in saying this has never happened before. Whitewater and Willie Horton say hi...
aside from that, i agree with you on the hypocricy and class warfare coming from the right...
Latina problem, gay problem, women problem, senior problem, black problem, working-class problem, Southern Christian problem.
Romney has problems all right!
and yet the polls have it as a toss up within margin for error, imagine that!
Daniel Streibig
Daniel did you take over from Kris Kobach (Romney's advisor on immigration) today??? Romney will never be able to fool the Latino community on any promises....for they know he is the greatest flip-flopper and an extremist on immigration issues.
Great point SIRIE
I agree: your party is much better at winning at ANY price. My money is still on the Tealiban stealing the election for Rombot. Mittens new slogan: president for the -non loser-45%!
daniel: You mean "self deportation"....that is Romney's plan....LOL!
Wasn't Romney for self-deportation during the primaries? That seems to be the polar opposite of 'giving undocumented aliens a clear pathway to citizenship' that you claim.
This country was founded by immigrants, for immigrants. The only natives to this continent were treated rather poorly by the colonists in order to allow for the melting pot that is the modern day United States, and republicans need to rethink their opinions on immigrantion and many other issues before they will be seen as a viable option for the majority of non-white people in general...
Daniel makes up facts and uses a big font to make them look important. Wonder what else is bloated in Daniel's world ? ? ? ? ?
The only 'undocumented' thing Romney is good at is hiding those tax returns. Speaking of amnesty programs, is Mitt concerned he may have some undocumented alien Swiss Bank accounts?
red: Romney likes amnesty programs...especially the one in 2009 for those stashing money in off-shore accounts and not showing on tax returns.
Bet that is why Romney won't release tax returns, we will see that he failed to report income and then took the 2009 amnesty.
keep fooling yourselves that all latinos will just go away. republicans dont want to accept that the US is getting browner, which is ok by me because they will never win a national office with that thinking.
its not like this is changing in the republicans favor. wake up repubs.
Except that Obama deported more illegals than any previous president..
Hey there Daniel! Mitt never sponsored ONE of the "undocumented aliens" who worked his lawn 11 hours a day. Most he could muster was a "Buenos Dias!" And his former workers are BACK IN MIDDLE OR SOUTH AMERICA. Not to mention, DUDE, you gotta bust through one SERIOUS wall of Republicans there.. I suggest you start campaigning in Arizona!
Layton - What makes up the Latina votes? Can you answer that question? Just tell me the Countries? While you are at it, tell me the Percentage of these by state i.e California, New York, Texas, etc, etc.
Romney/Ryan for 2012, Juntos vamos a sacar a Berraco de la Casa Blanca.

ReddevPS - You are so right, you and layton better march to your Superior's orders.

Three Libs against one little Independent Black Latina, and just because I don't agree with your ideas.

Now we have NDDR and GT. All trying to silence little old Blatina.
Here is more old news for you.

Now Obama is trying to be strong against China, so now we are saying what Mitt and the Donald have been saying for months. Can you imagine that? lol.
El Presidente Berraco must be getting nervous.
DANG Concern! Ever have a look between your legs? Pretty sure it's a FEMALE Latin American. Pretty sure I saw latinA not latinO. PLEASE vote REpublican! GEt the deportation of YOU specifically on the road! I'll buy you a ticket to ARIZONA!
Morocco?
RedDevPS
Wrong again, Berrakito. You don't have an answer, do you? According to you lefties Blatinas like me are suppose to be ignorant. I guess is to much work for you folks to compile the information that I'm asking for.
It isn't us lefties - look no further than your idol, Santorum. He is the one claiming you GOPTP supporters have no intellect.
@Concern,
Your quote:
"I guess is to much work for you folks to compile the information that I'm asking for."
What, you never heard of the Internet?
Do you own push-ups.
@Red,
Sanatorum:
...We'll never have smart people on our side..."
Priceless.
Bali Bob - you are a genius, the Internet? Was it not that other Liberal that invented it? Oh yes, it was Gore. The same guy that is making millions from Global Warming.
Any other Libs out there want to join the War on Blatina? Incredible!
Have a good evening folks, time to go home.
By the way never liked Santorum or his way off ideas and I my religion does not allow Idolizing as you do with President Berraco.
@Concern,
"War on Blatina"?
You flatter yourself. Playing the victim does nothing to bolster your credibility.
Astounding as it may seem to you, there are people who actually disagree with you.
btw that Internet thing actually works for finding all sorts of information. Try it sometime.
WTH? I actually had to log out of NV to see what you're bitch was today Concern ...
WTF? Last I checked the Hispanic, Latina votes for PRESIDENT were AMERICANS like in THIS country. I'd suggest you learn how to Google if you want percentages. Last I checked in Demographic surveys, country of origin is not a required question but I'm sure you'd know that better than I.
Your Passive/Aggressive poke someone in the eye and them scream victim when they respond is getting so OLD! How on earth does your husband stand that????? Or is he just as whiny????
If you have a specific question for me, please feel free to e-mail me. I actually do work with data and numbers and can consult with you directly for $250 per hour plus travel and expenses. Just a thought . . .
RedDevPS : "Morocco?"
Here's looking at you, kid!
(Looks like I'm the only one who got it!)
According to you lefties Blatinas like me are suppose to be ignorant.
CC -
You sure aren't giving us any reason to think otherwise.....
CONCERN: hush!.......
Mittens is going as fast as he can learning the new hipster lingo. But just now in rehearsal he oopsed, saying a Blatina is where the GOP vaginal probe goes to test for legitimate rape. No fear: your Rombot will be ready December 6th.
So distract, deny, distort and disrespect, while they reboot your candidate. And while you wait:
El Lider de los Estados Unidos se llama Presidente Obama. El bobo tuyo se llama Payaso Rombot.
And the Blatina doesn't know where Casablanca is. SHE went to the same school as ROMNEY!
"88 Percent Latina are certain to vote" Really?
Mitt's problems are far greater than Latina vote.....his own party doesn't like or trust him.
Obama/Biden 2012
From southern Mays above . . . .
I had to translate it . . .
YES!!!!!
Romney wishes he was Latino . . . or at least Mexican. Mother Jones has audio of him joking that he'd fair better if he was born to Mexican parents. He also feels that the 47% of the electorate that's supporting Obama don't pay taxes and isn't concerned about them. Class act.
Why would any woman vote for romney/ryan Latina or not. Beyond rational reasoning to vote for people who want to control the most intimate part of a woman's anatomy, control her personal decision making, pay her less than a man for the same work, refuse to protect her when violence strikes, Violence Against Women Act, still not passed, defund Planned Parenthood, repeal ACA; higher premiums for women for being women. What is that clouds otherwise rational human beings thought processes to espouse republican dogma, it simply does not compute.
Obama 2012
I think its called freedom...the more power you give the government, the more you lose in the long run. You wouldn't understand because you like your freebies from the government, from the peoples backs. We the people...why any self respecting person would vote for Obama is beyond me. He is destroying this country.
@sky,
I find it very disturbing that there are folks out there that believe in lies even though they have been told that they are being lied to.
Rep. Ryan's people actually said that they will not allow their campaign to be influenced by " fact-checkers."
Does not compute, indeed.
btw Selamat Malam (correct for the time where you are?)
@JFK,
Why any self respecting person would vote for Romney is beyond me. He would destroy this country.
JFK, freedom from what, I sincerely believe that I would lose my freedom as a woman to make my own choices regarding my health if romney/ryan prevailed: freedom to get beat-up and no place to go, freedom to pay higher insurance premiums because of my gender, freedom to have someone dictate what goes on or not in my uterus, freedom to be paid lower wages than my male counter-part. Well I am going to exercise my freedom to Vote and I vote NO romney/ryan.

Person-Hood legislation, nah, egg-drop legislation in Ariz. I have the freedom now to consult with my physician but will I after romney/ryan pay their dues to the far right, not going to take that chance. After hearing akin and that other loon from Kansas, no thanks, republicans are done, when the party returns to Eisenhower or even Reagan philosophies I may consider their platforms, but not now, probably not ever.

Bali, absolutely, hope she will consider it, the countrey will be ready for her, the right wingers will crawl back under the rocks and not venture into the sunlight. She's terrific, brilliant.
Obama 2012
JFK, baloney, I voted for Reagan, and Gerald Ford, certainly not for W and that war mongrel Cheney. I haven't always been such a flaming liberal, W cured me of any compassionate conservatism. I am very aware of our debt, I am also very aware of the circus that pretends to be our congress and the shenanigans of banking industry and CEO's of Multi-Nationals, LIBOR and the systematic looting of the Middle Class, and lets be honest, there really isn't a middle class anymore is there.
Obama 2012
@JFK,
What are you gonna do with that gold when the Zombie Apocalypse happens?
Slice it up at your local gas station when you need to fill up?
Bali, she has a choice now because ACA has only started to kick in. Once the ACA kicks in...that's when she will realize her choice in doctors and scheduling will take a huge hit. Not to mention the cost of insuring an additional 34 million people. Imagine what that will do to the increased traffic in emergency rooms?
Romney - 0% of the African-American vote; maybe 20% of the Latino vote, maybe 30% of the woman's vote (made up of Stepford Wives and evangelicals (if they can stomach he is a Mormon); and maybe 50% of the pale, stale and male vote. No wonder they need voter suppression! Thank God the state supreme courts are striking these voter ID laws down! Come on Pennsylvania, get rid of that law!
PS, Oh and how does the unconstitutionality of the Wisconsin anti-labor law feel GOPers?
@JFK,
I imagine that there would actually be less impact on emergency rooms since more people will be offered preventative care.
Next question.
OK, Mr Axelrod, we have published all the information you sent today , attacking Republicans. Can we go home now?

To hear the Republicans now, we'll all be sooo much better off. I guess that's true if we want to move to China or India to work!! And remember the War on Women...it continues! Read the GOP party platform, the one they don't want anyone to really know about!! If you have daughters, you should be very afraid!
I watched most of Romney's speech today and wow, that was some cold and quiet audience!! Good for the Latina community, they know oppressive and condescending BS when they hear it! Read the entire Repub party platform....they are just out to hold down and oppress anyone who is not one of their 1%er friends! They will continue the War on Women, probably start another war with Iran and have minorities fight it for them, and DO nothing FOR Americans who foot the bill for everything!
AS a lover of Latina's a word of caution. The Latina I married does not suffer fools gladly. Mr. Romney is best served by focusing on his people: the 1%, the Christian Taliban, and the mentally incompetent. If he continues with the GOP attempt to offend anyone not white or male, he'll be reminded that Lorena Bobbit was a Latina too.
this election is over. romney has managed to insult just about everyone at this point. its all just wasted hot air from the repubs now.
If this is the guy you want for President- go aheas---NOT ME!
Job loss: Under Romney, Bain Capital's investments led to thousands of laid off workers.
Bankruptcies: Under Romney, “Bain structured deals so that it was difficult for the firm and its executives to ever really lose,” even if companies took on more and more debt and eventually went bankrupt. Romney and his investors made $400 million from four companies that went bankrupt after taking on debt in part "to repay Bain investors or to carry out a Bain-led acquisition strategy."
Outsourcing: Bain Capital "knowingly and far-sightedly made strategic investments, with Romney at the helm" in outsourcing firms that "grew into some of the largest outsourcing and offshoring companies in the world.”
Olympic lobbyist
Record-breaking expense: Under Romney's leadership, the Salt Lake Olympics got more federal cash than any previous U.S. Olympics, and cost U.S. taxpayers $1.3 billion.
Pet projects: Romney used the unprecedented amount of taxpayer money on unnecessary projects, including $30 million for parking lots, $2 million for sewer systems, $500,000 for planting trees, and $4.7 million on upgrades to post offices.
Massachusetts Governor
Poor job creation: Under Romney, Massachusetts fell to 47th out of 50 states in job creation, down from 36th when he took office. Net job growth was "far slower" than the national average over the entirety of Romney's term.
Outsourcing: Romney vetoed a bill that would have prohibited sending state work overseas, and even outsourced jobs to a call center in India.
Debt: By the time Romney left office, Massachusetts became the first state in the nation in net tax supported debt per capita.
More taxes and fees: Romney created or raised more than 1,000 taxes and fees on middle-class families and businesses in Massachusetts that amounted to $750 million a year.
In both the public and private sector, Mitt Romney boasts a record of outsourcing, poor job creation, and unnecessary spending. Now he's promising to bring that same experience to the White House. Those policies did not work over his career, and they won't work now.
According to Latino decisions poll President Obama has a 42% lead today ..........Sound to me like Gov Romney may soon start flip-flopping on "self-deportation"......."alligator moat"......"or build the dang fence"......."repealing the Executive Order"......however, it appears to me Gov Romney has no way out on immigration......betta called Clint Eastwood for advice on "Escape from Alcatraz" or after the 6th of November he will be left with an empty chair.
Wow the Romney video killed him. Saying 50 percent of Americans are deadbeats. Even the taxpaying ones because you are not rich. The same Romney that got 44 million IN WELFARE we call a bailout. The same Romney that got TAX ENTITLEMENTS to the point he is ashamed to show his tax returns. The real deadbeat IS ROMNEY!!
Saying that you are a liar is a litote.
