It's their fault why they will be deported. I am not a pro-republican. I just say what's my opinion about undocumented immigrants, not only the Hispanics but all of those illegal immigrants. rollyn New York Immigration Lawyer Marina Shepelsky, located in Brooklyn, assists clients from the New York metro area and across the United States in all immigration and naturalization matters http://www.e-us-visa.com - rollyn Tue, 06 May 2008 20:53:43 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_68 will obama if elected place his hand on the bible or the koran or what. does he say the pledge of alleagence with his hand over his heart. - Dale Thu, 14 Feb 2008 02:30:48 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_32 Any of you consider voting for Hillary really need to rethink and research. She was called the most corrupt politician in the U.S. in some sites. She has very destructive ways, far too much to explain. Not only does she say what she thinks you want to hear, but she also does not speak for regular american citizens. Here are a few vids giving more insight to Hillary. http://youtube.com/watch?v=xq8aopATYyw This one makes light of her flip flopping, it's funny but when you think of someone like this being president..it's not that funny. Countries do not respect inconsistent leaders..which is why we're not respected now worldwide. http://youtube.com/watch?v=e3USS4_aYbo We need Obama not another Clinton... - info Fri, 18 Jan 2008 18:22:58 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_30 Robert, Is There A Media Conspiracy To Elect Barrock Obama? The entire media has drilled, continually covered & constantly has questions about Romney's & Huckabee's religion & how they'll effect the election. We see panels of experts debating those facts on every cable news channel most everyday. Polls are constantly taken on "how people react to religion". Obama has been given a free pass answering ANY questions ABOUT HIS RELIGION. He claims he was raised a Christian. That's good enough for the media. BUT, Awhile back, a few stories came out about Sen. Obama's church, The Trinity United Church of Christ. They where ALL QUICKLY PUSHED OFF TO SIDE & NO follow up coverage has been offered yet. Why? Basically because The Trinity United Church of Christ (http://www.tucc.org) has adopted & practices "The Black Value System". The name itself shouts racism! That is, if it was a white candidate, in a white church, practicing "The White Value System". THEN we'd get 24/7 coverage! However, with Obama "THAT'S JUST NOT" the case, so you'll see "NO COVERAGE AT ALL". What would the voters deceide if continual media coverage of "The Black Value System" was presented to them? Many questions need to be asked about the 12 precepts & covenantal statements of "The Black Value System". Church Statement: "These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts: 1. Commitment to God (What God? A God who only serves "BLACKS"? 2. Commitment to the "BLACK" Community 3. Commitment to the "BLACK" Family 4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education 5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence 6. Adherence to the "BLACK" Work Ethic 7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect 8. DISAVOWAL OF THE PURSUIT of "Middleclassness" 9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the "BLACK" Community 10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting "BLACK" Institutions 11. PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO "ALL BLACK" LEADERSHIP WHO ESPOUSE AND EMBRACE THE "BLACK" VALUE SYSTEM 12. PERSONAL COMMITMENT TO EMBRACEMENT OF THE "Black" Value System. Questions ALL Whites Voters Should Be Asking & Demanding Sen. Obama Supply The Media With The Answers To: 1) Sen Obama, How can you lead the largest mult-diverse country in the world with A "RELIGIOUS BELIEF THAT ENCOMPASSES ONLY THE INTEREST OF BLACKS"? 2) Would you Define a "White" candidate with a religious belief supporting "THE WHITE VALUE SYSTEM" a Racist? 3) Your religious convictions state; YOU "MUST PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE" TO "ALL BLACK" LEADERSHIP WHO ESPOUSE AND EMBRACE THE "BLACK" VALUE SYSTEM. What do you do if your allegiance to "all black" leadership REQUIRES YOU TO VOTE AGAINST THE BETTER GOOD OF AMERICA? 4) The president of the United States is obligated to protect the welfare of "All Americans Regardless of COLOR". Your religious convictions CAN NOT ALLOW YOU TO DO THAT. What is your response? - American Born Wed, 16 Jan 2008 21:14:40 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_29 Please endorse your fellow Senator Barack Obama. He is not only the future voice of our party, but the best chance we have at winning in November, disarming the Republican attack machine, and making real progress for our country. Thank you, -Robert - Robert Wed, 16 Jan 2008 19:24:06 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_28 JRand; "ALL Hispanic Mexicans are hard working people trying to survive & take care of their families"? Generalizations like that show just how much you know about life, Nothing. Been to south LA? Seen how many towns & cities are going bankrupt across America Because "NOT ALL" of any race is as you say. Why doesn't Mexico allow open borders? Why does Mexico have a fully armed army at their southern border stopping "their brothers & sisters from Central America" from entering Mexico? Why is Mexico discriminating against its own people? Why aren't Hispanics upset about all that? Why can't Mexico offer its people a good life? Why aren't Hispanics upset about that? Aztlan? I am sick & tired of hearing how terrible Americans are for wanting to stop "ILLEGAL" immigration. I'm sick & tired of Mexican Flags flying in my country being carried by people DEMANDING to be given American citizenship. Someone wrote about the "melting pot" read your history & talk to people who lived it! Citizenship is a privilege, not a god given right! Love Mexico & your flag? Go there & enjoy it! DON'T try to turn America into Mexico! Those who have been trying to, have finally awoken the American people. The phrase is "Love It Or Leave It"! Illegal immigration is NO LONGER a smoke screen; it is a problem the American people have finally Demanded to be fixed! - American Born Wed, 16 Jan 2008 04:47:08 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_27 When running for Illinois senate, Mr. Obama raised his hand and swore to the people of Illinois that he would not run for higher office but would serve the people of Illinois. Ummm, I do believe president of the US is a higher office that senator. But mostly, he's missed 85% of the time Congress has been in session during his term. Where was he? Would anyone reading this still HAVE their job, let alone get a promotion if they only showed up to wqork 15% of the time? We need an honest president and Mr. Obama isn't. Be warned! - Cristie Wed, 16 Jan 2008 03:25:16 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_26 As a Hispanic American or Chicano. I am outraged at the fact that MSNBC chose to exclude Dennis Kucinich. I ask everyone of you to see this man in action on youtube. He doesn't just say he has a plan he has the actual bills to back them up. He has been the only one to ask to impeach Bush and Cheney. He has guts and has stood by his words through the years. So several thousand persons will be boycotting all of MSNBC's programs and sponsors. Wake up America we have a voice! - Justice Fonseca Wed, 16 Jan 2008 02:21:00 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_25 If you are Hispanic too and do not vote for Hillary you will be making a grave mistake to our future. Stand strong - make your voice count so she can use her voice for us. Hispanics vote Hillary today for our tomorrow! - Lee Tue, 15 Jan 2008 01:22:33 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_24 Here is a link to all the sites you can complain - hopefully to a good resolution - about the debate tomorrow. http://www.alternet.org/blogs/video/73663/ - Andrea Radich Tue, 15 Jan 2008 00:05:54 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_23 Re: Immigration issue is a smoke screen for the truth. written by JRand, January 09, 2008 You got that right JRand! Have you checked out Dennis Kucinich's Issues page? He has answers for all our needs and that is why he is being blocked from debating in Las Vegas tomorrow. GE/NBC has holdings of 2 Billion in military contracts. He wants to support our troops and BRING THEM HOME! Guess why they don't want him to debate? Pay attention to what is going on here fellow citizens.

Hillary can prevail. And I am sick and tired of hearing the Obama campaign claim such innocense - when they know well and good that they plant and question things in such a way that makes them sound as if they are all "good two shoes"! Go Hillary!!! - Lillian Consolo Mon, 14 Jan 2008 22:24:41 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_19 some forget the hispanics pionered the southwest before the european immegants set foot here and now the republicans would send all of the american mexicans back to mexico and steal there land again. - carl banda Mon, 14 Jan 2008 17:14:43 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_18 It doesn't matter what your country of origin was. If you are legally here and have become a US Citizen you are an American. All of our votes are important. Examining each candidate on their own merits is part of the process. I'm so pleased to see the Nevada Culunary Worker's Union endorse Obama as I believe he believes in America as no other candidate does! - Carl Isler Mon, 14 Jan 2008 07:36:35 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_17 It seems to me, there is a group of activatists who are hell-bent on destroying Hillary Clinton. If it were not so important it would be laughable. She is the only candidate to have specific ideas that translate into specific plans that are indicative of her ability to actually articulate what her vision for America is and how to make it into a reality. It is one thing to espouse philosophical cogitations. It is another to actually know how to achieve them. I am one of those who has her feet planted firmly on the ground, not a bird flapping its wings, looking for the direction the wind is blowiong in order to get to my destination. Go Hillary! Do not be dissuaded by the naysayers. If you stick to your guns you will prevail! - Phyllis Tash Mon, 14 Jan 2008 01:21:24 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_16 Barack Obama is speaking the truth about “Change” and “Yes, we can” slogans because we need a new direction in United States for all people. Barback Obama voice is refreshing to those who are willing to take the steps to make the changes along with Barack Obama as our next President of United States. The reason why it is important to support Barack Obama, he wants to take the country into a new direction whereas Hillary Clinton wants the same Bill Clinton’s polices for another 12 years which will overwhelm us. A fresh start with Barack Obama leadership will diffuse the tension around the World allowing USA to speak to those countries that are skeptic of us. With his leadership, we will have better relationships with other countries throughout the World. For this reason, I support Barack Obama for our next President of United States 2008! Are you ready to give Barack Obama your support? - chocolateice Sun, 13 Jan 2008 17:42:23 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_15 I agree with you, JRand! No more smoke screens! And, yes the Hispanic vote is important...so MAKE IT COUNT...in the RIGHT way! Get rid of 'dirty politics', too! I'm really fed up with that! Tonight, I read an article regarding comments made by Hilary Clinton (the one referencing MLK.Jr.) and Hilary Clinton tried to blame Obama for it? Ok...is this for real? And Bill Clinton's comment (Obama & 'fairy tale') - trying to explain it away. And the NYTimes article that follows is priceless! All I know is that up until this, I may have considered voting for Hilary...now, I do not think so. Here's a portion of the article in the NYT on January 5th, definitely worth reading before YOU decide who to vote for: "Mark Halperin’s item over at The Page caught our eye, and we thought we should share it with you. As Mr. Halperin reported, several members of the International Executive Board protested loudly in a letter to AFSCME president Gerald McEntee that an independent expenditure unit run by two people had been using funds solely to attack Senator Obama (and no other Democratic candidate). Keep reading this letter, posted on The Page, and keep in mind that it comes at a time when Senator Obama has emerged victorious out of Iowa and is in a very tight race here in New Hampshire. {Letter} "We are writing to protest in the strongest terms the negative campaign that AFSCME is conducting against Barack Obama. We do not believe that such a wholesale assault on one of the great friends of our union was ever contemplated when the International Executive Board (IEB) made its decision to endorse Hillary Clinton. In fact, when the vote to make a primary endorsement was taken by the IEB, there appeared to be widespread agreement that we had a strong field of Democratic candidates all of whom had made a very positive impression on the IEB Screening Committee. The argument for endorsing Hillary Clinton was not that her positions were better than those of the other candidates or that she would be the better president for working families, but rather that she was the clear frontrunner, the most likely primary victor, and the strongest general election candidate.…… We were therefore shocked and appalled to learn that our union-through “independent expenditures”–is squandering precious resources to wage a costly and deceptive campaign to oppose Barack Obama. As Barack’s standing in the polls has soared, according to numerous press reports AFSCME has spent untold dollars in Iowa and New Hampshire to send out mailings and run radio ads whose sole purpose is to undercut his candidacy. And now AFSCME has even registered a website with the explicit purpose of “opposing Barack Obama.” It is also worth noting that the campaign that AFSCME is waging against Senator Obama is fundamentally dishonest and inconsistent with past positions of our union, i.e. attacking him for not forcing individuals to purchase health care even when they can’t afford it. The ads are misleading in attempting to give the impression that they are associated with John Edwards rather than Hillary Clinton and in their claims that Sen. Obama’s health care plan will exclude 15 million people when in fact every person will have the opportunity to participate. This dishonesty is giving our union a “black eye” among many in the media and the progressive community." {end portion of Letter} "Earlier this week, The Concord Monitor reported that voters had received emails criticizing Mr. Obama’s health care plan as “a Band-aid solution” that would leave “15 million Americans uninsured.” (We are pretty sure Mrs. Clinton has used the same term — Band-aid solution — to refer to plans that weren’t hers.) These mails included comments by John Edwards that criticized the Obama plan, The Monitor said, which residents could have inferred meant they were backed by Mr. Edwards and his supporters. But, no, they were financed by an AFCSCME committee. The Monitor reported that AFSCME had spent nearly $80,000 on such mailings recently. And it had paid for radio ads, as we mentioned earlier. The issue of primary endorsements has been loudly debated among labor unions. And in fact, some unions or their umbrella organizations decided not to endorse in the primaries — sometimes citing the fact that the field was fairly strong. Others, remembering how they were stung by supporting a candidate who lost in previous cycles, were still skittish this time around. If you read the entire letter by members of the board, you can sense their concerns about such a scenario. It’s pretty palpable." - By Kate Phillips And who's behind the Nevada Teachers' Union suit against the Democratic Party which was filed right after the Culinary Union announced it's support for Obama? I'd be REALLY curious to know! Isn't it time we nominated someone who does NOT get involved in the 'mudslinging' except (and you would expect this) in self defense? - NanD, Las Vegas Sun, 13 Jan 2008 07:19:09 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_14 Clinton has not given any specifics on how that $70 is spent and how would that $70 Billion be effective in boosting the economy and would this $70 billion makes any difference in boosting economy (nobody knows).So GIVE me a break about Hillary has a plan for boosting the economy. Not even the Federal Reserve Chairman,Ben Benarke, knows what to do with the economy. Whoever say they know what to do with the economy is a complete nut! We need to teach the big financial institution a PAINFUL lesson. That they need to be responsible for their actions and NO more bail outs. Houseowners with mortgage problem should talk to their lenders/banks to resolve their mortgage issues because the banks don't want their houses. The house would just be sitting there and banks can't liquidate it. AND it seems more financial experts agree that the best to handle your trouble mortgage issues is to NEGOTIATE WITH YOUR BANK. That $70 Billion relief is unfair to the rest of us who try to save enough money to pay bills, tax, etc. That $70 Billion is a disguise to help the big financial institutions. People who benefit from this $70 billion relief actually indirectly helps the big financial institution with their credit crunch. Those Financial institutions should find their own way to get themselves out of trouble they created in the first place. Because they were too GREEDY in the beginning. - Gracie Sat, 12 Jan 2008 21:18:01 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_13 I never understood why my parents would liken themselves to conservative Republican values. Guess they felt (R) was the party of their Christian God. Members of the same party who now scream for us to "go back to where you came from!" at the sight of our brown skin. http://www.justamexican.com/ I'm not a terrorist I'm just a Mexican! - Tortillas DeLote Sat, 12 Jan 2008 03:22:00 +0100 http://www.nvdems.com/go/the-blog/recent-pew-research-poll-shows-hispanics-shifting-toward-democrats/#pc_11 I have decided to back Mrs. Clinton. She seems to be the only canidate, Republican or Democrat that has a plan for the economy, the war, immigration or healthcare. Go Hllary! - Charles Boyte Fri, 11 Jan 2008 17:19:52 +0100
