I don't know what is up with my people, but c'mon! It seems that everywhere I go, when I talk to a Latino about politics they seem more confused than Michael Jackson's color! It usually goes something like this; "I vote democrat because my family has voted democrat all their lives. My grandma told me that democrats are for the poor and the republicans are for the rich. I live in the barrio, I am poor (although I have a Escalade parked in my backyard), therefore I vote democrat." C'mon Latino's get your head out the menudo! This is why I am excited to hear about the Hispanic Democrats For McCain! Finally, Latino's who look beyond the party and look into the future. What also amazes me is that an actor from Mexico named Eduardo Verastegui has to record a message from Mexico to Latino Americans to be cautious of the radicalism of Obama! I want to encourage my Latino familia to pay attention to the issues and not the necessarily the party your mom and dad vote for. Be smarter than that!
