GOP Leader Won’t Resign<\/a>, By Jeff Jones

By late morning, however, audio-taped C de Baca comments from a separate BBC radio interview began making the rounds in New Mexico. <\/p>\n

       \u201cI feel strongly that Hispanics will not support, in my generation and the generation around my age, are not going to support the Democratic candidate for president primarily because there is a strong feeling that African-Americans during the civil-rights movement took advantage, full advantage, of all the benefits and programs that the government offered, that were supposed to be offered to all minorities<\/strong>,\u201d C de Baca said in the newly released interview with the British broadcasting giant. <\/p>\n

       \u201cBut we were left behind, we were left sucking air, and we resented that ever since the ’60s, and I don’t see how a black president is going to change that,\u201d C de Baca said in the interview recorded in Albuquerque last week in connection with a foreign journalist tour. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m outside any quarrel between Hispanics and African-Americans. I\u2019m surprised, though, that a Hispanic would resent blacks \u201ctaking advantage\u201d of benefits. C de Baca implies that blacks took more than their share and left Hispanics empty handed. An odd view for a conservative, who should resent anyone who takes advantage of government support \u2013 anyone other than countless corporations.<\/p>\n

Time to recall this quote from just a few weeks ago:<\/p>\n

\n

Garcia, 71, lives in Do\u00f1a Ana, just north of Las Cruces. She thinks Obama has come off as condescending and arrogant. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

“I don’t know one single Hispanic over 50<\/u> who will cast a vote for Obama,” she said, conceding that “there have always been conflicts between blacks and browns.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
