He also shrugged off any worries that his message might not appeal to Latino voters who are concerned about immigration reform.
“If you think I need to have a different message for Hispanics than I do for other people, I think that’s unnecessary,” said Paul. “I don’t
want to punish anyone who belongs to a special group, and nobody should get special privilege either.”
I am so sick of politicians pandering to groups for votes, it is disgusting. Why should we drive such a wedge between voters, cutting them into
groups, during elections? Is the goal so that certain politicians/parties always earn a bloc of votes at election time? If that is the case then it
does not sound like a very good strategy towards uniting this country. When you pander to Hispanics you are ignoring Blacks, Whites, Asians, and
Indians, when you pander to the rich you lose the middle and working class.
Enough pandering to people whom you chop up into groups so as to create a group vote, why not try and earn the votes of Americans as individuals for a
change. When you are campaigning speak about issues facing the whole of America regardless of sex, race, religion, or income, which is how you unite.
Do not break us down into convenient little groups so that you can get more votes by creating the group mentality of “I am part of a group so that
means I should vote like everyone else”.
There is no such thing as group rights, group freedom, or group anything in this country; it is about individual rights and individual freedom. The
government should treat people as individuals not as groups whether that is class, race, religion, etc… It is destructive and divisive.
Thankfully Ron Paul is smart enough to realize that.
