The Many Deaths of
              the GOP

              By Peter Brimelow

              Too close to call, phooey! At 6 a.m.
              November 8, the 2000 Election's message
              was loud and clear: George W. Bush, despite
              pitiful pandering http://www.vdare.com/gp_bush.htm, has been
              spectacularly defeated among Hispanics.
              Which means that, given the immigration
              policy he paradoxically favors

              http://www.betterimmigration.com/prescand.html, another nail has been
              driven into the Republican Party's coffin.

              * Nationally, CNN http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2000/epolls/US/P000.html is
              reporting that Hispanics broke 35%-62% for
              Gore - a landslide of LBJ proportions.

              * In California http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2000/epolls/CA/P000.html, Bush
              did even worse among Hispanics, losing
              27%-67%.

              * In New York http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2000/epolls/NY/P000.html, Bush
              was annihilated among Hispanics, 18%-80%.

              * In Florida, http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2000/epolls/FL/P000.html, the
              much-touted Cuban vote does not seem to
              have resulted in anything better than a draw.

              * Even in his home state of Texas
              http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2000/epolls/TX/P000.html, Bush lost handily
              among Hispanics, 42%-54%.

              The central conclusion of Ed Rubenstein and
              my 1997 cover story in a Republican
              hack-sheet whose name I forget
              http://www.vdare.com/people.htm remains intact: the trend is not
              the GOP's friend. In the shockingly short run,
              only immigration reform can save it. We will
              update this analysis when final numbers are
              available. But it's worth noting that the Asian
              vote, which we then allocated equally
              between parties, seems now to be emerging
              as Democratic, 55%-41%.

              The Republicans simply seem unable to
              dominate their key demographic - whites - in
              the way that the Democrats own theirs. The
              Nader phenomenon is entirely white. It would
              be worth investigating further, if any Nader
              voters escape being hunted down and lynched
              by enraged Democrats.

              The 2000 Presidential election punished
              courage as well as cowardice. Pat Buchanan
              seems to have been fatally irradiated by the
              controversy over his frank questioning of
              World War II's inevitability in A Republic, Not
              an Empire http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/089526272X/vdare. His
              poll numbers collapsed and never recovered.
              GOP strategists are unlikely to be impressed
              by the observation of Shakespeare's Julius
              Caesar:

              Cowards die many times before their death;

              The valiant never taste of death but once.

              Nevertheless, their ultimate fate is likely to
              be the same.

              November 8, 2000

Edited by Robinhood: This was a timely article by Peter Brimelow over at VDARE. He makes a very good point. Both parties are speeding pell-mell to capture the Hispanic Vote. Only problem is the Hispanics do not vote for the GOP. Under the current system where current politicians advocate a sort of cultural aggrandizement in reverse, whereby hostile ethnic hordes from the third world are actually encouraged to occupy the living space of the locals, the GOP will not be needed much longer. We can get by with only one party. All we will need is the Democratic party too prepare the peasants for life on the global plantation.
