[laughter] they are catholics. they are family people. >> minority groups, for some reason, although they seem to be in the democratic party, they seem to be more conservative and have republican social values on choice, on gay-rights come on public schools. and republicans are walking away from latino communities. about as dumb a strategy as any political party h
