10. you don't have to turn on right wingned radio to listen to the hate. Just watch
MSNBC tweety and co. do an amazing job of degrading the Clintons. Here are a few reasons why we are voting for HIllary.

* We are loyal to the Clinton's. HIllary worked on farm workers issues back when she was in law school.
* Clinton appointed HIspanics to prominent roles during his presidency (Bill Richardson, Henry Cisneros)
* Empowerment Zones were created in the 90's many of those where in hispanic communities.
* Bill made a big mistake but it was a family issue, we never criticize people who have family problems no family is perfect, the Clinton's are like part of our family and we circle the wagon during times of crises.
* HIspanics relate more closely with lower to middle-class anglo issues compared with lower-middle class african-american issues.
* While NAFTA has been a disaster for some parts of the of the country along the Texas/Mexico border it has spurned economic growth.
* HIllary and Bill have visited heavily populated hispanics parts of the country regularly since the 90's.


I have nothing negative to say about Obama excpet when he uses the phrase "yes we can" "si se puede" we take great offense because it is a rally cry for the hispanic community since the 60's made famous by the United Farm Workers Union who have endorsed HIllary.
