Because, sadly, in this day & age appeals to racial solidarity will trump those to common sense every day of the week.

[PGR88]

I liked it.

By the way, can someone tell me why he is shaving his toungue?!

[Ken522]

The commercials are too manly for the Republican Party .. sigh ...

[john in springfield]

OK. That’s it. I’m pickin’ up a six-pack!

Salud!!

The idea that Hispanics are conservative is a big myth. Unless the life chances of children raised by single mothers suddenly improve, the explosive growth of the U.S. Hispanic population over the next couple of decades does not bode well for American social stability. Hispanic immigrants bring near–Third World levels of fertility to America, coupled with what were once thought to be First World levels of illegitimacy. (In fact, family breakdown is higher in many Hispanic countries than here.) Nearly half of the children born to Hispanic mothers in the U.S. are born out of wedlock, a proportion that has been increasing rapidly with no signs of slowing down. Given what psychologists and sociologists now know about the much higher likelihood of social pathology among those who grow up in single-mother households, the Hispanic baby boom is certain to produce more juvenile delinquents, more school failure, more welfare use, and more teen pregnancy in the future.

The Republicans’ Hispanic Delusion

[Linda Frances]

It’s time for a new party. The Conservative party with people like Sarah Palin.

[Pan_Yan]

If we had a real president with balls they would send all 20,000,000 of them home, along with their children. I've read the 14th amendment over and over, and I can't find the words ‘anchor baby’ anywhere.

Then we wouldn't have to worry about bowing to La Raza and make sure every campaign rally has at least 2 speakers in Espanol.

The remaining Hispanics, who are actually citizens, would probably assimilate. Or at least I would hope so.

[paulycy]

Don’t you get the feeling that the current RNC would be embarrassed to run commercials that actually show men (primarily) who have character? (Sarah would be great, too.)

I’d be embarrassed to show them in a situation that requires character. It would be such a lie. (Boehner excepted after Friday’s reading of the bill.)

Mexicans are certainly not homogenous in politics, but I would not in any way categorize them as Republican conservatives.

MOST are poor and view capitalism as exploitative. That is what they have been taught.

Mexicans tend to be socially conservative on many issues, such as abortion, but like many other Catholics they would have voted for Obama if they were in the US.

Watching Mexican news in Mexico (not just a beer commercial) I can tell you that Obama is seen as the leader of “mirgratorio reforma.” You and I would call it “amnesty.”

Mexico is hobbled by the corruption of its government officials and the fact that the honest police chiefs, reformers, etc., get killed, examples being Luis Donaldo Collosio, presidential candidate; Cardinal Ocampo, Catholic clergyman about to expose government/drug lord links; and an assassinated police chief of Tijuana who actually wanted to make the police force a real one, not a laughing stock of bribes and “mordidas.”

I wish things were more like the beer commercials.

Post Script: The ladies are dang cute and affectionate. But you already knew that.

[RedStateRocker]

“...most Republicans believe the most effective way to reach them- which we know doesn’t work- is to reward lawbreakers with citizenship and hope for the best. “

1986 Reagan signed the immigration reform act, including sweeping amnesty provisions. And we all know Saint Ronnie could do no wrong

[TommyDale]

The lines in two of the commercials about “not all of us are here”...is that suggesting that the remainder of the Mexican population is on its way?

[Vendome]

Sorry. Trying to see what is wrong with theses commercials.

They were actually pretty funny. Though the tongue shaving thing was weird.

[Doe Eyes]

Hispanics/Mexicans, whomever are ardent conservatives

If conservative means that Mexicans can take over America.

[Bhoy]

Interesting article on “diversity.” Unfortunately written by Harvard man intent on divising a statist cure for bringing in foreign workers to work for below-scale wages while native populations are without work in order to show how important “globalization” is — or maybe to make the global elite rich no matter their origins.

“When the data were adjusted for class, income and other factors, they showed that the more people of different races lived in the same community, the greater the loss of trust. “They don’t trust the local mayor, they don’t trust the local paper, they don’t trust other people and they don’t trust institutions,” said Prof Putnam. “The only thing there’s more of is protest marches and TV-watching.”

Why in the HELL is the RNC not all over this demographic with commercials like this.

The RNC has been focusing on more important things.

For example, at the GOP.com store, (https://secure.gop.com//store/Default.aspx) the RNC is now busy raising money that is so essential for advancing John McCain and what's-her-name to victory in November. Victor the Plush RNC Victory '08 Elephant can be yours for only $35!

Here's the blurb:

Show your support for John McCain and all our GOP candidates by proudly displaying the Republican National Committee’s newest member, Victor the Victory Elephant.
Victor is ready to hit the Convention floor to place his nomination vote for John McCain and rally Republicans to victory with his Convention Pennant. This wonderful plush toy is available for a limited-time only. Actual size 5" x 4

Victor should have been removed fom inventory on November 5, 2008, but he is still for sale almost eight months later.

THE RNC MOTTO: HUNH?

In order to see the videos at the linked site, you first have to enter a birth date that precedes June 1, 1991. The videos are in Spanish, with English subtitles.

[HighlyOpinionated]

I think I’ll make my third Pina Colada of the afternoon/evening. Watching the video made me thirsty.

[iowamark]

Problem with your idea: John McCain and Michael Steele are not people “con character.”
