Herman Cain urged to quit presidential race by angry Latino Republicans [Video]

"We call on Herman Cain to drop his candidacy for president. His recent comments and lack of practical solutions to solving illegal immigration show he’s not a serious candidate," the Somos Republicans group wrote in a statement released Monday.

"Many Hispanics find his recent comments comparing immigrants to 'invading Huns' offensive, and also insensitive when thousands of immigrants died crossing the desert. We’re looking for practical and humane solutions, and find Cain’s pandering to xenophobes disgusting. Apparently nativist tea has been served up at many tea parties! Hispanics are a key swing vote, and whichever GOP candidate succeeds in winning the nomination cannot win the general election without the Hispanic vote. Cain needs to leave the field open to more serious candidates," Somos demanded.

Apparently the Arizona-based organization, which claims to be "the fastest growing Hispanic Republican group in the nation," was not impressed with the inspiration the former Godfather's Pizza chief executive received on a recent trip to Asia.

Well, I find it offensive that I have to pay higher taxes so these people can invade my country and receive welfare benefits. Really offensive.

il·le·gal   /ɪˈligəl/ [ih-lee-guhl] –adjective 1. forbidden by law or statute. 2. contrary to or forbidden by official rules, regulations, etc. Just what is it that they cannot comprehend about the concept?

"Many Hispanics find his recent comments comparing immigrants to 'invading Huns' offensive, and also insensitive..."

Is there a Hun-American group that could get outraged at the remarks by the Hispanics?

Somos Republicans: Another race based organization, more interested in the color of one’s skin rather than the content of one’s character.

I'm not interested in the opinions & ideas of racists.

Have you read Tom Clancy’s latest novel - Against All Enemies? He researches his novels quite well and in the book he describes the intricate system of tunnels which exist across the border - so much for a fence.

The RINOs and their friends on the left are desperate to eliminate conservatives from the race.

It tells me that they fear a conservative win if there are any in the race.

“Hispanics are a key swing vote, and whichever GOP candidate succeeds in winning the nomination cannot win the general election without the Hispanic vote.”

That’s not true, now. It may be the case in 20 or 30 years, but the fact is that any Republican that unifies (or gets reasonably close) the White Vote wins in a landslide.

That’s why the Israeli fence along the West Bank not only goes high, it does deep.

Not to mention we have an illegal president in the white house...I guess if you are in favor of his being outed, you would be cited in the LATimes as a liberal demoncrat....LOL.

absolutely! i loved it when Cain suggested Sharia-loving Muslims in the government be given a loyalty test.

as for “ insensitive when thousands of immigrants died crossing the desert. “ i think he understands, that they wouldn’t have died, if they didn’t cross illegally.
Maybe Cain simply respects our Laws, and saves his compassion for the MANY thousands of Americans killed BY illegal immigrants, from murders to drunk driving...

And polls, all the polls, show that few things unify Americans more than stopping illegal immigration. Even a large portion of legal Hispanics are for more rigid enforcement, something the press doesn't like to talk about.

Yeah; I like him too but, everyone is not a stone cold Conservative like you and me. But, bless his heart, Herman needs to be a little more “street wise”. He just doesn’t calculate how many votes he loses when he makes “red meat” statements like that. (This is not the first.) Even the Bible says “A soft answer turns away wrath”. Why alienate the largest minority group in America who DO vote when just calling a little wisdom into play would be best? I always taught my sons that there is never a reason to be rude. You will go a lot farther in life with demonstrating subtilty sometimes. You know the old saying; “Hold your friends close and your enemies closer.” It’s hard to sucker punch them when you pushed them too far away from you to reach them.

Poor Herman; he keeps shooting himself in the foot.

As a leader of the Hun-Republican community I am offended at being compared to the Somos Republicans, but I'll settle for some free Godfather's pizza.

I guess any group can call themselves anything they want, but these clowns take all of the Democrat positions on immigration, and don’t even seem to exist for anything other than immigration.

Sounds like a fringe RINO group. Cain was undoubtedly speaking about ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, a fact so conveniently IGNORED by such morons. Morons come from every race, you know: black, white, Latino, or olive skinned. A few morons are even Asian.
