First they tried women.   But, having reached a dead end with their false narrative of a “war on women”, and seeing no bump in the polls, actually the exact opposite is occuring, so the Alinskyites within the Obama Campaign and the Institutional Leftist Media shift the focus to latinos.
Batter up.
Keep Palin visible, but not emphasized too much, on the back burner of their racist narrative, while they fire up the new burner of hispanic prejudice narrative.    This time it’s Rick Santorum’s turn again.   Full Rollout in 3…. 2….. 1…..
(CNN) — Rick Santorum’s contention that in order for Puerto Rico to become a state English must be its principal language drew criticism Thursday from the U.S. territory’s sole representative in Congress.
“Santorum’s view is narrow and a limiting view of what America is all about,” said Pedro Pierluisi, a Democrat, on CNN’s “Starting Point.” “English is the predominant language in the U.S. and will continue to be so, whether Puerto Rico becomes a state or not.”
Puerto Rico will vote in November on a referendum regarding possible statehood.
While campaigning Wednesday ahead of the island’s primary on Sunday, Santorum told a newspaper that for Puerto Rico to become “a state of the United States, English must be the principal language.”
There is currently no law declaring an official language of the United States, though several attempts have been made to give English that designation. Thirty-one states have passed laws mandating English as their official language. The Constitution also makes no mention of a language test for territories or properties that wish to become states.
Both English and Spanish are official languages of Puerto Rico, though Spanish is by far the dominant language on the island.
Santorum was spending a second day in Puerto Rico on Thursday, courting voters ahead of the primary.
Asked about his comments on Thursday, Santorum told CNN, “English has to be learned as a language. It has to be a country where English is widely spoken and used. Yes.”

Asked if it should be a requirement for the territory to become a state, Santorum said, “I think English and Spanish. Obviously Spanish will be spoken here on the island. But this needs to be a bilingual country, not just a Spanish-speaking country. Right now it is overwhelmingly Spanish-speaking but it needs to have, in order for it to integrate into American society, English has to be a language that is spoken here also and spoken universally.”
Mitt Romney is expected to win Puerto Rico’s primary. He is scheduled to campaign on the island starting Friday. Republican Gov. Luis Fortuno endorsed Romney in January.
Romney’s campaign issued a statement on Thursday contrasting his position on the issue with Santorum’s.
“Puerto Rico currently recognizes both English and Spanish as the official languages of the commonwealth,” said Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul. “Governor Romney believes that English is the language of opportunity and supports efforts to expand English proficiency in Puerto Rico and across America. However, he would not, as a prerequisite for statehood, require that the people of Puerto Rico cease using Spanish.”
The primary in Puerto Rico comes two days before a showdown in Illinois, where polls show a tight race between Romney and Santorum.
One of Santorum’s delegates withdrew his support for the former Pennsylvania senator over the language matter, according to a local report. The Vocero newspaper reported that Hector Perez said he is no longer committed to Santorum. The party chair told the paper that one of the alternate delegates submitted by Santorum’s campaign would fill the spot.

Santorum’s campaign was re-energized after key primary victories in the South that raised questions about conservative rival Newt Gingrich’s viability as a candidate and portended a long battle with frontrunner Romney.
Romney, rejected again by Southern conservatives in the Tuesday primaries in Mississippi and Alabama, won caucuses in Hawaii and American Samoa to claim about a third of the total delegates available and maintain his delegate lead.
However, Santorum’s twin primary triumphs — while narrow — reframed the GOP race as a one-on-one battle between the socially conservative former Pennsylvania senator and the more moderate Romney, with Gingrich’s chances fading fast.  (read more)
