The Pledge in Spanish? That's called pandering, and it would enrage the base Perry would be attempting to energize.

How about you give out translation cards from Spanish to English so Latin Americans who wish to learn it in English are able to?

“The pledge in Spanish? That’s called pandering.....”
Maybe, if its not clear how or why it’s being offered, but
there’s one way of looking at it that looks like a very sharp move: it’s a direct invitation to Pledge Allegiance
to THIS country and its interests above all others, and all other “causes”, like La Raza’s, that might shake up the still- growing constituency of Hispanics and make them realize that they haven’t really gotten very far with Obama at the helm. But only when it becomes clear what Perry’s overall plan is and how it will benefit them to dial back the alienation will this make sense to them. How many candidates have EVER proposed this idea of allegiance, RATHER than merely suggesting that they’ll get what they want as a special-interest group?
