I stand corrected. Today the vote is 2-1 or almost 3-1 Democrat after voting 40% for Bush in 2004.

Thanks!


By 44% to 8%, Hispanic registered voters say the Democrats rather than the Republicans are the party with more concern for Latinos. However, a large slice of Latino registered voters (41%) say there is no difference between the parties.

The most recent poll by the Pew Hispanic Center, a non-partisan research organisation, suggested that 57% of registered Hispanic voters now called themselves Democrats, while 23% aligned themselves with the Republican Party

LOL!!! This is a racist button? Wasn't it in the movie HEAD OF STATE (2003) with Chris Rock (Preisdent) and Bernie Mac (Vice President). Old news.

I guess no one mentioned that the vendor who had these buttons for sale was barred from any other GOP functions. He sold 4 buttons, two to reporters. They weren't given away for free.

What about the Bush and McCain hate buttons, why is nobody talking about them? Disgusting how they have t-shirt with such a bad language about the president of the USA..., you may not like him but to wear t-shirt with such a language...it says a lot about the people wearing them.

Yep Chris Rock already made a joke about it. Said if Obama gets elected they gone have to redecorate. I laughed. Just like I laughed at this pins. I've been singing George Clinton's Paint the White House Black for months but none of my friends know the song young people.

Come one paperhouse that would not be has fun. They got us all to debate on a half truth. Looks like you did a good job discrediting this poster.

I'd rep you but you know the drill spread it around!
