This is why the Tea Party exists >>> Sen. McCain: Arizona could be 'up for grabs'

[MjolnirTime]

Washington (CNN) – Republican Sen. John McCain said Sunday that his home state of Arizona could be won by President Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election.

The 2008 GOP presidential nominee told CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley that Arizona and other southwest states “can be up for grabs” due to the growing Hispanic vote.

McCain won Arizona in 2008 by taking 54% of the vote to 45% for Obama. Next year, he said, the state’s voters could lean the other way.

“The demographics are clear,” McCain said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “The Hispanic vote will be a major factor in national elections.”

Sadly, for the Teabaggers, they aren't ever going to get "their" Country back.

The Demographics of this Nation are on the move. It's going to be an interesting decade.

4. That's why it's fun to watch the GOP candidates try to out-rightwing each other.

By the end of the GOP primary, President Obama will have all kinds of delicious youtube clips for his TV commercials that will virtually write themselves.

6. The GOP is working against itself again

They keep announcing all these outreaches toward the Hispanic/Latino community, figuring that if they can just get their republican message across, Hispanics/Latinos will naturally want to join. But then when it comes election time, and for some reason their message hasn't resonated, republicans dig themselves in deeper by demonizing Hispanic/Latinos. "The Hispanic Vote" may seem innocuous, but it is something to be feared as it's truly not American.

Then the elections pass, and win-or-lose, they look at the numbers and honestly can't figure out what happened with the Hispanic/Latino vote so the outreach programs start back up again further behind than last time.

I think their main problem is that while they're at times honestly trying to get the Hispanic/Latino vote, they're forgetting to try and get their voting base to be open-minded enough to accept them (which would be a challenge anyway).

8. Frankly, I never understood how "Vote for us or we will deport you"

was supposed to work as a Repuke strategy.

9. The Tea Party was a 2010 fiction, just so we're on the same page.

The Demographics of this country are one way. Th Republican party is dead and the Democratic party will either evolve to keep up or it will become the right wing party (some on the left already believe it is, but I don't think so).

10. When all the GOP candidates want to block borders and deport immigrants

then what do they expect?
