You could not be more wrong.
George H.W. Bush did very well with Hispanic/Latino voters and it saved him.

Also? Fast and Furious was a brutal sacrifice of Mexican lives, as Cannon Fodder, to advance the Holder/Obama anti-gun agenda, by forcing a Treaty with Mexico to restrict our gun rights.

Most Hispanic Americans are not even aware of this fact.

I am working hard to produce a Spanish Language attack ad, to explain this point to them.

You NEVER win elections by telling entire groups of people NOT to vote for you.

Suppression of the minority voters who can't vote our way, but refuse to vote for Obama, is important as well.

Did you mean Bush I or Bush II. If you meant Bush II then you must remember his promise of "a new America"? One where we can ALL forget OUR ethnic heritage and simply become another hispanic country...?

THE "NEW AMERICAN"
..........<

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

Our future cannot be separated from the future of Latin America.

As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico.

George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.

You can read the speech here.

Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:

In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on. My Bush Epiphany By Lawrence Auster

The only reason GW didn't get his "new America" is because of 9-11.
