OK, Bimbo. Deal. As long as you quit posting $hit you just pul;l out of you ass with no source or links to prove it.
Well, well, well, guess what they have it at the library and I've put it on hold but it has to come from another branch so it will be either Monday or Tues when I get it.  If it's there I'll expect an apology you know.  What I plan to do is take a pic of the book and the page and scan it and post it if it's there.  If not I'll admit I was wrong in what I found earlier and that will be it.  I may even get the audio book and turn it into digital and post that if I decide to.   :razz:

There's a wonderful huge secondhand book store not too far from where I live -- It took the place and inventory of Borders Books, and so far they have had every book I've asked for -- at ridiculously low prices. Think I'll go pick up a copy today.  :yes:

  Just love it, absolutely love it.  The Indiana voter elect an Republican to represent them in Washington DC.

  They do just what Mike Pense did.  Elected in 2001 he move his wife and family to Virgina and  that is where he lives.  Even tho he says he owns a house in Indiana, he doesn't live there. :yes:  Live there? :no:

  I always thought that you had to live in Indiana 6 months and 1 day to be a resident of Indiana.  How does be get by with voting in Indiana.  How can he say that he lives in Indiana?  :doh:

  I know why, He took lessons for Luger and McIntosh.  They were voted out may we can vote out Pense a this way he won't have to leave Virgina.   :yes:

                                                    :zoners:

Evan Bayh did the same thing, he owned two home NOT in indiana, one was a $1.8 million dollar beach-front home they  owned in Bethany Beach, Delaware. The had another home in D.C.  valued at $1.65 million.  He owned a little condo in Indy. He did just as Pence did,....thought it would be best to keep his family clost to him, and raised them out there instead.

Washington (CNN) -- When presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney appears before Latino small-business owners in Washington on Wednesday, he'll address a group whose explosive birth rates foreshadow a seismic political shift in GOP strongholds in the Deep South and Southwest.

"The Republicans' problem is their voters are white, aging and dying off," said David Bositis, a senior research associate at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, who studies minority political engagement.

"There will come a time when they suffer catastrophic losses with the realization of the population changes."

Over the next several generations, the wave of minority voters -- who, according to U.S. Census figures released this week, now represent more than half of the nation's population born in the past year -- will become more of a power base in places like Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia. That hold will extend across the Southwest all the way to California, experts say.

The coming political revolution could result in a massive changing of the guard on nearly every level of government, potential cultural clashes, and the type of political alliances that are now considered rare.

Offspring of immigrant farm workers

In Georgia, those rumblings are already being felt.

It is a state that depends heavily on immigrant labor to pick peaches and peanuts and work in poultry plants. So when Georgia -- like its Southern sister states of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and South Carolina -- passed a tough anti-immigration bill that also penalizes businesses, Hispanic groups and farmers alike pushed back.

"This election cycle Latinos in Georgia are upset about (the law)," said Jerry Gonzalez, executive director of GALEO, a nonprofit and nonpartisan group geared toward Georgia's growing Latino population. "That's going to spur more galvanization than we've ever seen before."

According to the Pew Hispanic Center, Southeastern states such as Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee boast some of the greatest percentage increases in Latino population growth. They are also states where the percentage of Hispanics roughly doubled.

And, according to Pew, the Latino population boom helped Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Washington net additional congressional seats.

Though Georgia's Latino population has mushroomed over the past ten years, according to Pew, roughly 23% of that group is eligible to vote, compared to roughly 76.2% of whites and just over 69% of African-Americans.

Still, activists like Gonzalez are hopeful that lawmakers will see the trends and recognize "Latinos merit a seat at the table as well."

So far, Republican efforts to offer Latinos a place at the table have fallen short.

The nation's Hispanics tend to vote Democratic, and overwhelmingly supported Barack Obama and Joe Biden in 2008.

Romney in particular has stumbled with this critical voting bloc, after his comments suggesting that making the economic landscape tough for illegal immigrants will force them to "self deport."

Trying to convince a growing population

Even Republican Hispanic lawmakers, such as Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, have urged the GOP to soften its language when discussing immigration and such proposals as the House-passed version of the Violence Against Women Act, which killed expanded coverage for illegal immigrants and Native Americans who are victims of domestic abuse, and the failed DREAM Act, which would have given U.S. residency to immigrant kids with high school diplomas.

The GOP is trying to clean up its image with Hispanic voters, with an eye toward the demographic's looming political clout.

Romney is slated to speak at the Latino Coalition's Annual Economic Summit in Washington on Wednesday. Last week, his campaign released "Dia Uno," a Spanish-language version of an ad underscoring Romney's mission for the first day he assumes the presidency.

If Republicans continue to struggle to appeal to Latino voters, Spanish-language ads may not stave off a change that experts like Bositis see coming in the not too distant future, when states such as Georgia go purple and eventually blue.

"There'll be a tipping point where you've got the Republicans in charge, but you'll get to the point when the population becomes minority," Bositis said. "When that happens the statewide offices will fall. Republican governors will fall. Things will change."

This announcement on birth rates "should be a wake-up call to everyone running for political office from this day forward," said Lionel Sosa, a veteran Latino GOP strategist who has helped advise candidates since 1980. "Latinos should no longer be considered minorities. In many crucial electoral states, this 'former minority' is fast becoming the deciding vote. The candidate who reaches out most effectively will win their support."

"Token efforts, such as tamale parties, will no longer work. Winning will require more than outreach. It will require inclusion," Sosa said. "Latinos, African-Americans and people of other races must be represented in the important decision-making strategies of any given campaign, whether it be for a Democrat or Republican."

^^ I've often wondered what the GOP is going to do to reinvent itself given the fact that the people that generally support them the most are older white people, even if it's against those older white people's self interests to do so. 

They're not going to be able to pander to right-wing, white, evangelicals in the states that are normally solid for them for much longer.  Those state's demographics are starting to change.  It'll be interesting to see how that all plays out in the years ahead.

  I won't comment :nocomment:  on what Bayh is worth or what the houses cost.  Compared to Romney's money and homes are worth, Bayh is a piker.

  But Bayh isn't in office and won't be so do we have to continue the absentee leadership that Pense is going to do.  As bad a Mitch Daniels was a Indiana's governor was, thing are sure going to get worse with dumbass Mike Pense.     

  If these politicians want to live out of the state to raise their kids, DON'T RUN FOR OFFICE!  We didn't elect them to raise kids but to represent us in Washington DC and live in Indiana.

  Get your head out of your ass Henry and look at what is going on.   :rant:

  It isn't going to change much in Kansas.  When the kids get old enough they flee the state a soon as possible.

  In the book "What's wrong with Kansas", the poorest county where the average income was $18,000 a year.  The people there voted 96% Republican.  Why, they were against abortion and gay marriage.  Go figure, not to bright I would say.  :rant:

Get yer salt ready Olias.  Disc 2 of the audio book at 29 17 is exactly where it can be heard in his own words.  Not sure if I can burn it off but I'm certainly going to try.  I do hope it isn't copy protected.   There are some interesting things from 29 10 to 29 16 also.  The book wasn't there from the branch yet but should be by this afternoon I was told. 
I am now going to try to burn it onto my hard drive.  Have a good day....  :biggrin:

Now Olias don't call me a liar again.  I do not pick stuff out of my ass I just have a problem getting the absolute proof that you'll accept at times.  Like I've told ya'll before go to the library to do your research instead of the computer where links get removed and things get changed.  Before you start with youtube crap this is one I uploaded because the mp3 wouldn't upload from my 'puter to the forum so I had to turn it into a movie format and upload it to youtube and I used a pic from my files on my 'puter.  Now if you want further proof I'll scan the insert and the CD and post pics of them as well as the book when I get it and the page with the words for to also see.

Ah, what that means if you need to sign up for a youtube account is all.  I take it you haven't.  It doesn't do anything other than give you access to things like this or allow you to subscribe to different peoples videos.
