Lots of whites and Hispanics are intermarried in Texas and Hispanic culture and history play a big part in Texas and Texan culture. Lots of people here don't have a problem with legal immigration; just illegal.

Didn't you get the memo? If you're against illegal immigration, you're against all immigration. There is no difference at all. You're also an anti-Hispanic racist bigot.

I don't claim that.

The real evidence of how bigoted and racist the GOP in Texas is by it's illegal attempt to limit the voting rights of Texas minorities by increasing voter ID requirements.

Claiming, virtually non existent voter fraud, to keep thousands from voting as an excuse.

That's why the Judges shut your racist scheme down when it went to court.

Then you come on here bragging that Hispanics will want to vote for your ilk.......LOL

You are hilarious. Truly hilarious.

BTW - 401K's are just about all that's improved dramatically and that's been mainly because of unprecedented easing by the Fed.
I apologize, I was speaking about the southern vote in general.

Typical of the GOP to discredit the Nation's progress to further an agenda.

I'm sure you are real proud of all the minimum wage/no benefit jobs Texas has available.

Go flip burgers in Texas if you wish...LOL
I dont see people flocking to California from all over the country for jobs.

Texas happens to be a major tech center, as well as energy, service and corporate.

Texas was doing just fine last I checked, while California's economy is in the toilet and the state is about to go bankrupt.

They must be doing something right.

Nice try though.

Voter fraud...why would anyone be ok with even just a little bit? If you were running for some kind of elected position and your opponent got a lot more votes than you and maybe up to 25% or more were fraudulent that would be ok? If you would have won because the fraudulent votes were illegal, that would make you sad? One fraudulent vote is one too many in my book.

You're ignorant of the issue.

Only in your head could there be 25% fraudulent votes. Voter fraud in Texas for all purposes does not exist. It's in your mind.

No wonder you vote Republican.

Read the Judges ruling why the ruled against Texas if it's not too hard for you.

Not true. They're only really libertarian on business issues, taxes and guns. When it comes to a social agenda, they want the government very much involved in your life.
