There are some great quotes in this article.

Dems need to understand that they need to emphasize individual responsibility AND a helping hand.

Individual responsibility first.

They forget the individual responsibility part at their own peril.

Agreed with this. If we focus On eliminating foreign spending and instill proper health care management we can do both.

For some Latino men who favor Republicans, they simply want the government to stay out of their way and not impede their chances of success.

“You can’t legislate equality, you can’t legislate work ethic and you can’t legislate being a good person,” Mr. Ortiz said. “I am not perfect and nobody is perfect, but for me it starts with individual responsibility.”

Seems racist to make decisions of purchasing thing based on what race it is.

Where are the "white owned" stickers

Helping your fellow countrymen as opposed to a communist dictatorship that employs slave labor and cultural genocide?

You are squinting real hard this morning.

This is the part I care little to nothing about. Why should I care about someone in Indiana more than I care about someone in India?

Your point is well taken on human rights abuses in certain countries, but not having even the low paying jobs likely isn’t any better for them, to be honest.

It's baffling that this is something that is remotely championed by anyone as making the straight up murder of someone legal. And yes, the cops who stood by and let this douchebag murder someone are guilty too.

Dude would be alive if he wasn’t hopped up on the drugs he was on.
