Wildmon: There's Nothing GOP Can Do to Win Over Black and Hispanic Voters
Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Monday, 11/26/2012 2:10 pm
This morning on AFA's "Today's Issues," Tim Wildmon took issue with the prevailing wisdom among conservatives and Republicans that the party needs to do a better job of reaching out to minority voters if it wants to win future elections, saying that there really isn't much point in trying to do so because African American voters will always vote Democratic and there is nothing the GOP can do to change their minds.
As for Hispanic voters, Wildmon asserted that most of them care mainly about getting amnesty for their fellow Hispanics ... plus, "they are used to a socialist form of government in Mexico, which is big government welfare programs, so that is what they're going to vote for":

That line is total ignorance. A co-worker of mine has to go down to Mexico every year for three months to take care of his elderly parents who both have Alzheimer's. He rotates caring for them with his brothers and sisters. He has to do this because there is no social safety net in Mexico and no Social Security system. He gives up 25% of his yearly income every year to do this.
Right wingers are total morons.

that you have to point at Mexico as the evil Socialist State you are too far gone.
