How dumb are conservatives? To them, do all minorities look the same?
The Republican National Committee (RNC) has flubbed part of its effort to reach out to Latino voters by publishing a stock photo of Asian children on its RNCLatinos.com website, according to Think Progress. The image was a stock photo from the popular internet image archive Shutterstock.
With Republican lawmakers pushing stringent anti-immigration laws in Arizona, Alabama, Georgia and other states, the GOP has seen its fortunes decline precipitously among Latino voters in recent years. The party has been attempting different methods of wooing Latinos, from Spanish language radio ad buys to appearances on the Spanish language Univision television network.

McCain: Romney’s ‘self-deportation’ scheme is inhumane
While former Republican presidential nominee John McCain may be a big supporter of Mitt Romney, the Arizona senator isn’t a fan when it comes to the GOP frontrunner’s policy of “self-deportation” for undocumented immigrants.
On Saturday, Univision’s Jorge Ramos asked McCain if such a policy was humane.
“No,” the senator admitted. “I think there are some people who want to leave this country and return to the country they came from, but obviously it requires a broader solution than that, and we all know that.”
