Republicans don't need to pander to Hispanics
Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 11:15AM Since Romney lost the election, all we've heard from political strategists is that Republicans have to reach out to Blacks and Hispanics. Republicans are also told they need to reach out to women and gays and all the special interest groups which form politically to lobby government to favor their groups. Marco Rubio is busy working on immigration, because the pundits say Hispanics are the key to power going forward.
Zeroing in on one group, Hispanics, this whole idea of pandering in order to gain political power should insult honest Hispanic Americans, and those Hispanics who wish to be Americans. Instead of finding ways to provide political favors to buy Hispanic votes, like Democrats have done for a long time, Republicans should talk to Hispanics like the adults they are.
The future of America depends on a free market and a government that's prevented from giving out political favors for votes. And if Hispanics don't want America turning into something like Mexico, then they should start verbalizing a desire to join the effort to implement a free market and limit government power. Republicans should speak straight up to Hispanics and welcome them to the battle for economic growth and prosperity, challenge them to help innovate and create. Of course Conservatives and Libertarians and honest Liberals want individuals who desire to shake off oppressive government chains, live in freedom, produce and enjoy prosperity. Let's find a way to make that happen. I think most Americans who aren't Progressives would love to see the American economy take off and grow so that there are enough jobs for any Hispanic who wants a job. What we don't need is for Progressive government to promote dependence and promise government goodies to immigrants for their votes, and Hispanics should spit on this offer as well.
