A. They were gone LONG before "Clinton's NAFTA". They went with RAYGUN over their perception of CARTER's weakness and the humiliation of the hostage taking and the lines at the gas pumps. They wanted "TOUGHNESS" (brute force, DOMINANCE, PRIDE).

C. If this means their being ANTI-P.C.ism, yep. Plus anti-Limo-Lib-ism.

D. Not true. HARD CORE Catholics of all stripes vote as single-issue Repukes, while swallowing the scores of social justice policies they share with Dems. But most LAPSED Catholic types, like most Hispanics, are not single-issue and stay Dems. "Huge" numbers of Hispanics did not vote for Shrub because of anti-choice. I forget the numbers but it was 24%(?) OF THOSE WHO VOTED. The HUGE numbers of Hispanics DON'T VOTE and would vote DEM if SOMEBODY would understand how to unleash their voting power, the way RFK did through Cesar CHAVEZ. Whatever Hispanics Shrub got came from his TEXAS understanding of the White Boss of the laboring underclass, PLUS the small business Hispanics who REALLY ARE Repukes for their wanting cuts in taxes, minimized regulations, and maximized profits.
