How on earth did Ann Romney's Latino outreach fail so terribly?
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/08/ann-romney-switches-focus-from-wooing-women-to-hispanic-voters/
I thought, it’s also very important that the Latino community recognize how important this election is for them,” Romney said. “And they are mistaken if they think they are going to be better off with Barack Obama as their president. There really is only one way for prosperity, for small business, and that is, this is the simplest way I can say this: If Mitt Romney wins, America wins.” Nothing voters appreciate more than some overprivileged aristocrat lecturing them.

1. if they could just get past some of their biases
|
In the running as the most clueless use of a phrase this year.
Their bias against "self deportation" and papers, please? That kind of thing? |

5. I can't understand why Latinos would be biased against people advising them to "self-deport" or
|
who pass laws allowing them to be stopped and detained until they can produce proof of citizenship. Where do they think they are, anyway, in a free country? Oh wait.......

4. This is a real puzzle, isn't it?
|
Ann tells Latinos "they are mistaken", to "wake up and really look at the issues this time", "really look at your future, and figure out...", "if they could just get past some of their biases...."
Really hard to figure out why Anne could not get through to those biased mistaken and sleeping Latino voters! It is a mystery. |

7. They were delusional about Ann, too. They thought she was such an asset
|
but she came across just as bad as Mitt did. They truly were meant for each other.

It's a puzzlement.

Ann Romney if not born into wealth would have been one of those ignorant trashy old ladies McCain had to silence about O being a Muslim.

12. Absolutely NO substance, just like her husband.
|
they just throw a bunch of words out there and absolutely AVOID issues
that latinos care about. the romneys and the rest of the republicans did the same EXACT thing when trying to court the womens vote. just saying over and over again, that "we care about you" and the biggest womens issue or latino issue is the economy, is just showing pure ignorance and ARROGANCE. they willingly bury their heads in the sand and insist that everyone else does the same. |
