Hispanic voters, many of whom responded favorably to President Bush's campaign appeals emphasizing patriotism, family and religious values in Spanish-language media in 2004, are turning away from the administration on immigration and a host of other issues, according to a new survey.Oh my word. Does this mean that Bush’s hastily stitched together base built on appealing to a hatred of boys kissing is finally beginning to realize that they sometimes have diametrically opposing and fundamentally irreconcilable interests? Heavens to Mergatroid! Can someone get me a mint julip and a fan before I faint dead away?
At the same time, separate polls show that conservative white Republicans are the voting group most hostile to the administration's support for policies that would move toward the legalization of many undocumented immigrants.
Fainting Couch Alert!
Bush Is Losing Hispanics' Support, Polls Show—Great Caesar’s Ghost! I’m shocked; shocked! You mean, Hispanic people don’t like being treated like a political football? I never would have guessed! My mind is officially blown.
