I am tired of reading this little chestnut. What are the so-called "conservative social values" that "Latinos prize" that "Republicans espouse"? "Machismo"? Right to Life? Stay at home moms? No special rights for homosexuals?
I live in Southern California, and I'd like to meet up with all these "Latinos" clutching "conservative social values" to their breasts. The ones here in Southern California are no more "socially conservative" than your typical Californian--i.e., not very---not unless you consider having lots of kids as per se a "conservative social value."
But all those "Latino" kids don't mean anything unless they grow up to vote Republican, or induce their parents to vote Republican. And they certainly don't vote on the basis of "social conservative" issues, whether they're voting legitimately or not. They vote for the guy promising budget-busting bennies like education and drivers licenses for illegals, not guys like McClintock.
