Ruben, you’d better wise up and tell your fellow Hispanics (when will they just be Americans?) that whether or not Sotomayor speaks Spanish is irrelevant. What matters is her ideology and how she’ll rule from the bench. Her judicial record is unimpressive one because of the number of her reversals. If Hispanics want to play the race game, the GOP doesn’t need them. I didn’t hear any Hispanics protesting over what the Democrats did to Miguel Estrada. Wasn’t he Hispanic, too? Estrada is Conservative, and the liberals in the Spanish language media no doubt shaped the attitude of the Hispanic community to him as they did to Sotomayor. From what I’ve heard, the Spanish language media is just as bad as the English language media because they only present the Democrat viewpoint.
It’s high time that Spanish speakers learned English so they can hear both sides of the argument for themselves instead of being spoon fed drivel by the liberals at Unavision and elsewhere.
Just as I see no reason for the GOP to pander to people in the black community, I don’t think they should lick boots in the Hispanic community. This idea of a monolithic black or Hispanic community only serves to leave its people at the mercy of unscrupulous politicians. If that’s what Hispanics want, well, rejoice.
From your comments and from what I know of Spanish language media, let the Hispanic community get off its duff and start asking what can we do for America instead of what can some party do for me. Asking that question has served the black community really well y’ know.
