[L.N. Smithee]

You have to court Hispanic communities and sell them on the idea of individualism. That's a process; not an event.

Great. Tell us all how that selling job is supposed to be done by a conservative when the liberals (and some Republicans, like GWB) are telling Mexicans and Central Americans that their prize for making it across the border is every social service they can collectively demand.

Listen to yourself. You are complaining about what leaders are telling Hispanics. You want them to tell them things that will prevent them from being leaders, i.e., elected. What will they be able to tell them if they are not in office?

Focus here. It is a process. It is not an event. You can't undo 30 years of evolved liberalism in one election. The process can't occur if you are not in office. Once there, the slowing of liberalism can take place gradually. It cannot take place rapidly. An attempt to make it rapid will make things worse, because the attempt will lose elections and put liberals back in power to entrench their philosophy even deeper.

Winning matters. All else is 2nd priority. "I'd rather be right than governor"? Fine, indulge that selfishness and condemn your neighbors to life under the opposition.
