Just imagine the change in the political game if white people voted in block for the GOP the way blacks vote for the Dimo's. Whites are 63% of the population. Ninety five percent of sixty three pecent is SIXTY PERCENT. The GOP would win every presidential election and the vast majority of seats in both houses, even if the rest of the country always voted for the Dimo's.Evidential point #2.

The racist part is Blowhard's point that welfare is inherently a black/hispanic issue.Blacks are 12% of the population; they make 39.8% of the welfare recipients.

You DO realize that "Hispanics" are far from a homogenious group, don't you?
That the issues that matter along the TX/NM/AZ/CA boarder are not the issues that matter in Miami or NYC.
That Mexican Americans do not see the world the same way as Cuban Americans who don't see the world as Puertoricanios do. And thet (horror of horrors!) PR is part of the US, and Puerto Ricans are US Citizens--therefore little concerned about many of your "amnesty" arguments.
You DO understand the distinctions, don't you?
That the three waves of Cuban immigrants ave exceedingly different views on what post-Castro Cuba should look like? That one wave resembles the Dems, one the Reps, and one is a different breed altogether.
Actually, rereading this it confirms just the opposite--that you dumb gringos really do think all Hispanics think the same. Just like you can't tell Blacks apart.
Keep on thinking that way and you'll keep wondering why your candidates lost. Originally Posted by Old-T

Whites are 63% of the population; they make up 38.8% of the welfare recipients.
Hispanics are 13% of the population; they make up 15.7% of the welfare recipients.
If blacks were equally as likely to be on welfare as whites, they would make up 7.4% of the welfare recipients not 39.8%. That means blacks are 5.4 times more likely to be on welfare than whites.

That was the point our ignorant lil Tea Pukes missed, the majority of folks on welfare are white. Hell if you throw in corporate welfare it is a super majority! Originally Posted by WTFWrong
