Cruz: Obama trying to scare Hispanics into voting for Dems

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said that President Obama and other Democrats would rather scare Hispanics into voting for Democrats instead of solving the nation’s immigration problems.

“I think they are treating immigration as a political cudgel, where they want to use it to scare the Hispanic community,” the GOP presidential hopeful said Wednesday.

“Their objective is to have the Hispanic community vote monolithically Democrat as, unfortunately, they have succeeded in scaring the African-American community to do that.”

Cruz’s remarks came at a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce event in Washington. He did not speak at the Chamber’s summit last month, a decision that was criticized by Chamber President Javier Palomarez.

Palomarez said Wednesday that the conversation with Cruz was meant to “set the record straight” on the GOP presidential candidate’s views on issues that concern Hispanics

Much like Palin, Cruz lives rent free in the minds of the Progressives (i.e. Commies).

The worst part is so many Americans are ignorant. It forces all candidates to lie or omit the truth in order to get the votes to get elected even if their beliefs are different. It is a shame that is the way politics goes now days and it will never change. Ignorance in America is huge.
