Hispanic voters will desert Barack Obama at the next election because he has failed to provide the hope and change he promised and Republicans are their natural party anyway, leading Cuban-American Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen tells Newsmax.

Too many people think that immigration is the only thing Latinos are concerned about but that is simply not true, the House Foreign Affairs chairwoman said in the exclusive interview.


“The Republican party is the party of small government, less government intrusion, small businesses, more economic freedom, and that goes to the heart of what the Hispanic community is all about,â€

Will this translate overall within the Hispanic community? Not Likely. Cubans are a different breed. Those who fled Cuba and their children were and are better educated and possess a different view than those from Mexico, Central and South America. The peasant mentality is not prevalent in the Cuban Community.
