“Latino leaders”

What is a Latino leader? Are there white leaders? If so where are they?

“....Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro, a rising star in the Democratic Party and a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said while LIBRE may have an impact, he doesn’t believe its concern for the Hispanic community is genuine.

“[It is] a Koch-Republican effort to shave off a portion of the Hispanic vote,” Castro said. “The question for Democrats is what are we going to do to counter that?”

The Libs just hate it when you copy their tactics and use it against them. This some violates whatever it is that they understand to be the idea of “fair”. For the GOP to discourage Latino voters from blindly voting D is “just not fair” and needs to be condemned in articles that appear in, for example, The Washington Post.

Democrats pretend to oppose slavery -today.

Same Democrats - "You keep your hands off my Latinos and Blacks because I own them".

Latinos and Blacks - "Yes boss, what minority-hating commie you want me to vote for next"?

Good. Just by simply showing them how socialism does not work, as this can be done with blacks, gays, and other groups Democrats have simply treated as useful idiots over the years.

Interesting. But my back of the envelope calculation still gives something like a 65/35 split amongst Latino VOTERS in favor of Obama immigration policies. We have a lot of work to do.

Too often some here on FR relate all Latinos to mexican border jumpers/criminals. Latins I know would never vote for the beast and didnt vote for zero.

“Three quarters of respondents believe that businesses should attract workers through higher wages, not recruiting from the immigration lines. This also represents an opportunity for a positive populist message that demonstrates a market-based solution to immigration and to raise workers’ pay apart from the minimum wage.

If U.S. businesses have trouble finding workers, what should happen? ......”

41% of Texas 'latinos' voted for Cruz in the election for Senate.

I'm not unhappy with that much of a small vote.

The GOP-E needs to worry about their base, not the edges.

...Barreto says those behind LIBRE are “playing the long game” and don’t really have to win Republican votes, but rather raise doubts about Democrats to suppress support for them.

Be sure to include that in your "back of the envelope calculation."

If the Republicans end up getting a majority of the Hispanic vote, the Democrats suddenly won’t be nearly as enthusiastic for amnesty as they are now.

Didn’t the demokrats hold a big pow wow and determine they needed to court white working class vote? After bashing whites and the middle class for not looking out for the greater good?

The Koch Brothers view of Amnesty, First Amendment rights for religious conservatives, Common Core and Obamacare are what matters to me, not political tactics to help the GOPe fight the Democrats for “Latinos”.

The Koch brothers could spend the next year and a half sipping umbrella drinks on chaise lounges on the beach in Fiji, it wouldn't stop the Partisan Media Shills.
