I think the GOP is USING it to show Dem HYPOCRISY. re is

Sort of but you have to admit the democrats are equal oppertunity smearers when it comes to conservatives--white--black--Hispanic-- they all get BORKED .So they are consistent there

This issue for the GOP should be Conservative /qualified PERIOD
Etnicity should not even be mentioned
If Hispanic voters want to take notice that is up to them

But playing the race card by the GOP gives credance to quotas etc etc

[LS]

No, it doesn't "give credence to quotas." It acknowledges that there are different races and that they do have different concerns, and that went for the Germans and the Irish too. And any party that ignores those differences, any more than it fails to emphasize its conservative ideology, is doomed.
