Hispanics Vote for Harry Reid




It is just a couple of days after the election and everyone is wondering how and why Nevadans chose the socialist Harry Reid over tea party candidate Sharon Angle. Was it voter fraud? There had been many reports of voting machines automatically picking Harry Reid when a straight line Republican ticket was pulled. Was it the usual corruption by the Democratic machine? We all know about the shenanigans of the likes of ACORN and SEIU. No, apparently it was the Hispanic vote that carried the day for Harry Reid, as per Newsweek:


According to election-eve polling and analysis by Latino Decisions, a surveying firm, Hispanics chose Reid over Angle 90 percent to 8 percent—an astounding margin. CNN’s exit polls showed a significantly smaller spread, with Reid winning 68 percent to Angle’s 30 percent. But Latino Decisions argues that exit-polling methodology is typically inaccurate at measuring voting by Hispanics and other subgroups. The firm also contends that exit polls tend to lowball Latino turnout. Still, CNN’s figures show that Hispanics constituted 15 percent of the Nevada electorate this year, a notable increase over the last midterm cycle, in 2006, when they made up 12 percent. “Latinos certainly saved Harry Reid,” says Gary Segura, a member of Latino Decisions and a professor at Stanford University.



We have to assume that all those Hispanics who voted in Nevada are Americans. In that case, why would they vote for a man whose voting record and policies are hostile to individual liberty and prosperity? Why would this subset of citizens vote for a man who has enslaved future generations of Americans to the yoke of a big federal government that is indebted to the Chinese?

Hispanics in Nevada obviously don’t care about the future of America. No, they are more concerned about their race and ethnicity. They chose their own special interest over everyone else. You would have thought that they too would be concerned about illegal immigration. Doesn’t an invasion of illegal immigrants that have the same rights and privileges as Americans demean their citizenship as much as the rest of us? Maybe American citizenship wasn’t what the Hispanics were concerned about, when they pulled the lever for Harry Reid.
