They all think alike?

Harry Reid went off-script again Tuesday night, and the result was predictable: Another embarrassing misstatement.
Speaking to Latino supporters in Las Vegas, the Senate majority leader blasted Republicans for their opposition to illegal immigration and said, "I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican, OK."
Well, well.
In Sen. Reid's world, Hispanics should make up one large monolith content to let Democrats take care of them through the welfare state. No need to wander off the reservation.
Indeed, how could the concepts of limited government, economic freedom and individual liberty -- principles generally embraced by Republicans -- have any relevance to Hispanics? How could belief in a strong family unit, personal responsibility, and the rule of law when it applies to immigration -- also tenets many members of the GOP espouse -- possibly resonate with Hispanics?
After all, they all think alike, right Sen. Reid?
