I've never heard any assume that most White males are rich Republicans. You must associate with a very ignorant crowd.

It's a segment of the Hispanic population that is extremely difficult to poll that votes about 72-28 Dem.
My BIL and I (we are mex-american) got into a conversation about this the other night. He, my sis and his family are heavy Obama/DEM supporters and hyper-catholic as well. He told me that many of his catholic brethren vote SOLELY on the abortion question!!!! He tries to get them to vote on other issues, but it always comes back to that. Amazing. I was shocked how so many vote on an issue that doesn't affect them directly.

I'm Hispanic background also, and I notice that it's mainly the fanatics that vote that way. Most Catholics are not fanatical, at least the ones I know

"Some" Republicans? Who gives a rat's behind what "some" think? Some minorities that are Democrats don't like white people either. So should we stereotype the entire Democrat party for it?

Please back up your claims that even some Republicans think that Hispanic is synonymous with illegal or being immigrants. Just because most illegal immigrants are Hispanics I think we all know that they all aren't and neither do the Republicans. Exaggerate much?

I was wondering about that, too. Funny, I don't believe I've ever heard it. Not once.
