A new low in campaign advertising

Conservative Republican Robert DePosada, a former director of Hispanic affairs for the Republican National Committee, is sponsoring a series of television commericials aimed at Hispanics encouraging them not to vote. That's right. Figuring that most Hispanics would probably cast their ballots for Democrats, the ads say “Aren’t you tired of politicians playing games with your future? Don’t vote this November. This is the only way to send them a clear message.” The Republican Party's exploitation of the immigration issue, of which this ad is just one more example, is horrific. But I guess in this day, there's no level too low for some campaigns, no mud too deep to wade into.
