SO, WILL HISPANICS PROVE TO BE AS EASY TO MANIPULATE AS BLACKS?



A mission is now under way that has one of the nation's largest unions acting in concert with a Democratic super PAC supporting Barry "Almighty". Together these two pro-Barry groups have now launched a joint $4 million Spanish-language advertising campaign targeting, you guessed it, Hispanic voters. The ads, sponsored by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and Priorities USA Action, attempt to advance the argument that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's policies would benefit only the wealthiest Americans while at the expense of Hispanics and other working families.

Priorities USA Action, a group founded by two former Barry White House aides, has struggled in fundraising, especially when compared with Republican-leaning super PACs like American Crossroads and its nonprofit arm, Crossroads GPS. But the super PAC's partnerships with SEIU as well as other organizations, including the League of Conservation Voters and the United Auto Workers, has helped the group compete with the better funded GOP-leaning political action committees. The political wing of SEIU has given a combined $1 million to Priorities USA Action during the current election cycle.

The Priorities USA advertising partnerships with SEIU have focused primary on Hispanic voters, seen as a key election-year constituency for Barry. The ads released Monday use past statements made by Romney, and as usual taken completely out of context, including his assertion that the very poor were not his focus, to try to make the case that the presumptive GOP nominee would be harmful to Hispanics. The ads will run on television and radio stations in Colorado, Nevada and Florida — all battleground states with sizeable Hispanic populations — throughout the summer.

So thanks to such groups, I think that there is one thing that we'll definitely know for certain once this next election is over. That being, whether or not Hispanic voters are as easy to manipulate by Democrats, as are black voters in this country. Are they as susceptible to Democrat propaganda as are blacks? Or, are they more capable of actually thinking for themselves and thus better able to see through all of the lies? Obviously Democrats, at least these two groups, are banking on the fact that they will be able to bamboozle Hispanics with the same relative ease, and success, that they have blacks.
