Hispanic Republican=Log Cabin Republican

I think it is a good idea for Republicans to continue their War on Mexicans, because, you know, no people of Hispanic decent vote Republican. Or do they? The odds that the perfectly sane and reasonable position that this group of Hispanic Republicans are articulating is listened to hovers somewhere in the vicinity 0.0%, plus or minus 1%.

From the aforementioned letter:

As we are already looking toward the 2012 Presidential Elections, we respectfully ask you to take heed to our request out of concern for our nation. Congressmen Smith and King have repeatedly engaged in rhetoric that is aimed negatively toward Hispanics. Steve King has used defamatory language that is extremely offensive to Hispanics, which is found in numerous congressional records. We believe Steve King’s behavior is not appropriate for a high-level elected Republican who might be in charge of a committee that handles immigration rules. Steve King and Lamar Smith have adopted extreme positions on birthright citizenship, and promise legislation that would undermine the 14th amendment of the constitution, which both swore an oath to uphold. 

Yes, I expect the Republican Party to listen to their concerns.
