Prediction: If GOP boycott against UNIVISION continues, Obama administration will gain Latin support he lost earlier this year

by on Oct. 05, 2011, under Latino Get Out the Vote for 2012

Just when you think things couldn’t’ get any worse….the GOP Presidential candidates go and insert their foot into their mouths.  However, take a look at who began the problem?  Yup, Republican Cuban politicians who are already benefiting from Cuban amnesty under the Cuban Adjustment Act as well as government and tax payer funded benefits.

In a letter Monday to the Republican National Committee, U.S. Rep. David Rivera and state Reps. Carlos Lopez-Cantera and Erik Fresen also demanded that Univision apologize and fire its news president, Isaac Lee.   We believe asking UNIVISION to stop exposing Sen. Marco Rubio’s hypocrisy would be like asking the Cuban community to boycott Cuban amnesty under the Cuban Adjustment Act.

All Obama administration has to do now in order to gain the Latin support he lost earlier this year is to spend more money with UNIVISION.  For the record:  UNIVISION is the largest Spanish network our country has ever known.

GOPers who fall prey to what 3% Cuban community will face the consequences in 2012.

President George W. Bush had 44% Hispanic voters in 2004.  John McCain’s Latin support in 2008 dwindled to 31% in 2008, and if GOP Presidential candidates continue to not really understand Latin politics….they will be on a path to secure Latin supporters that will be primarily isolated to Florida as they put the entire southwestern Latino population at risk.

It’s simple math.  67% of Latin population are of Mexican descent while only 3% are of Cuban descent.

    That’s right big mistake for the GOP. Mexican population may be 64% bigger than Cuban but the GOP is not taking into account that cubans have 70% bigger mouths in average. Their noise and disproportionate outcry have is putting the GOP in a difficult position.

      GOP will dwindle to single digit HIspanic support if they continue against the largest Spanish network in the nation.

    Their latest icon the pizza man, their beloved uncle tom just stated all them unemployed college students, laid off workers protesting across america got no one to blame but themselves, whines they ought to not blame wall street, bankers but themselves! One has to love this, imagine all them millions of unemployed folks who lost their jobs to India/China, who just got cut off from their only source of income unemployment benefits who make up 18% to 20% of the total unemployed in America just got told by the GOP’s house servant sorry but its your fault!:-)

    The problem with the tea party they claimed to be grass roots, citizen based, but in reality Dick Armey GOP operative, financed by the Billionaire Koch brothers sons to a John Birtch society member, is the true grass roots, one can hire mercenaries they will fight for money, a boss, but when a truly grass roots organization comes forth its often at first disorganized, has no leaders as the protests we see now snow balling into existence, true grass root organizations don’t do what they do for money, a boss but a idea, a anger, a issue, and I put my money on betting the new movement of college students, unemployed workers and employed workers who will march with them will out live the tea publican movement!
