Con la Vista al Voto : From now until election day 2010, VivirLatino is going to have at least one post a day looking at the midterm elections and issues around the election including policy and the much hyped Latino vote.

The latest from the Sharon Angle hate machine is a “game” or rather a campaign ad disguised as a Monopoly type game. The ad depicts Reid, dressed as Mr. Moneybags, as spending the voters’ money and giving jobs and amnesty to the undocumented. Friends of Angle, the official org behind the ad uses stats from the Pew Hispanic Center.

Republican Angle, who is running against the Senate Majority Leader, Democrat Harry Reid, according to the latest poll released yesterday by CNN and Time, is leading. This poll was questioned on MSNBC last night, with talking heads suggesting oversampling. Today, even the right wing is calling the latest numbers into question, saying no one under 50 was polled.

I have been critical of the expectation of the Latino vote as some life changing revolutionary force. I have been equally critical of those who see Latinos not voting Democrat as an act of laziness and apathy as opposed to an act of protest.

But let me be clear, those who would use the agency of Latinos who decide not to vote or who decide not to vote Democrat as a way to further divide along the lines of race and divert our eyes from the real enemies of Latino communities, well that’s just dirty and they aren’t representative of Latinos who want movement.

Watching this video ad, the Spanish version is slated to run in Nevada, and hearing that it comes from an org named “Latinos for Reform” you might think, damn they have a point and I’m down for reform.

Except Latinos for Reform is run by a Robert Deposada, a conservative Republican political consultant whose vision of reform doesn’t line up with the needs of Latinos.
