The group Latinos for Reform is launching a 60-second ad today in Nevada. The spot urges Latinos to abstain from voting in order to punish Democrats for failing to deliver on immigration reform.
I love it when the left devours their own children.

In 2008, I didn't like either major candidate for president, but I cast my vote for Chuck Baldwin, and disagreeing with him on his relgious platform, knowing he wouldn't win, but I did so anyway, because it's my duty, and I attempted to find least imperfect candidate in my eyes (we are never going to agree with any politician on every issue). If that sounds corny, then so be it, but I take the 10-15 minutes out of my life one time a year to cast my vote.
I really admire your post. Voting intimidation has got to stop, I don't care what or who the source is. Voting is a right of every American, such an important right! My ancestor fought in American Revolutionary War, I would feel like a disgrace if I did not vote As a Floridian I really admired Chuck Baldwin too It's as corny as Mom and apple pie and VOTING

LOL, not a very good Republican.................


From your link:

"Robert Desposada, president of Latinos for Reform, told Politico that he isn't encouraging Latinos to vote for Angle.

"I can't ask people to support a Republican canddiate who has taken a completely irreponsible and bordering on racist position on immigration," he said."

Has this ad been pulled yet? I'm simply appalled that any group would tell people to refrain from voting.
