I’ll be honest, I don’t understand any Hispanic being a Republican.  That sentiment is not because I don’t think there are any conservative Hispanics.  I, myself, firmly believe in the death penalty and the right to own guns among other things.  And I’m not talking about the Democrat that votes for a Republican he considers the better candidate.  My biggest problem with the Republicans is their apparent desire to view Hispanics as inferiors, both as a people and in intelligence.

Yet even as jaded as I am I was shocked at the level Robert De Posada sunk to help the Republicans.   De Posada formed a group called Latinos for Reform.  He bought air time on Univision to run an ad.  Unbelievably that ad told Hispanics NOT to vote!  De Posada knows that the majority of Hispanics are Democrats and are not going to be convinced to vote Republican.  The only way he could see to help Republicans is for Hispanics not to vote.

His strategy was to try to convince Hispanics that Democrats have not done anything for them.  He wanted us to punish the Democrats by not giving them our votes.  Apparently De Posada, who has been the director of Hispanic affairs with the Republican National Committee, is truly a Republican.  He has bought into their belief that we are so stupid that we will buy into anything they throw at us.  He honestly thought Hispanics were so ignorant that we would not see through his pathetic attempt to suppress our vote for the benefit of the Republicans.

Had he truly believe the trash he was talking he would have been trying to encourage Hispanics to vote for Republicans.  To encourage ANYONE not to vote is unAmerican.  Robert De Posada you are not only a disgrace to Hispanics but to America herself.  Cheers to Univision who pulled De Posada’s ads and refused to air anything else from the sham group Latinos for Reform.

In case you’re wondering, Robert De Posada did vote.
