>>>We need to get the message, the conservative message out on hispanic radio and tv.

When “Juan” McCain and “Jorge” Bush are nasty insults, the only message sent out is we hate Hispanics. Regardless of their values, you don’t vote for people who hate you and consider you trash and don’t try to hide it.

Never mind all the Texican Hispanics who died on OUR side at the Alamo or how many generations their families have lived here. It’s all painted with one brush.

I am not sure I understand your post. I don't hate Hispanics. I am Hispanic. I am a social and economic conservative. Some of my ancestors were here in the 18th century. How do you plan to "get the conservative message out on Hispanic radio and TV"? I listen to Spanish radio and watch Spanish TV on a daily basis. They deploy the same prejudices as the MSM. Spend several hours watching Univision's Jose Ramos' interviews. He is a huge Leftie, a Mexican immigrant and one of the most influential Hispanic journalists in the country. He is not a US citizen and talks openly about “la reconquista.” And he is all about amnesty, with no grasp of the rule of law concept whatsoever. You can appeal to Hispanics on certain issues; on other issues it is futile.

So, as you point out, some of us insult them, but everyone else panders. Americans are hardly out of line in resenting the fact that their country is being overrun by people who demand that be supported and provided with benefits. I think that is the basis of the "hate," and that is the fault of government, not ordinary people who resent being sucked dry. The constant message on Spanish-language media in this country is: how to get the benefits to which you are entitled, how racist everyone is who doesn't pander to you, how not enough Spanish-speaking people are allowed to immigrate here, how hateful we are for not granting amnesty to every illegal, etc. The Alamo notwithstanding, how do you think you are going to get that conservative message out?
