Good advice every time they hear it–too bad they never seem to listen, as the Pueblo Chieftain reports:

The Republican Party’s message has been all wrong, according to GOP member Nelson Balido.

“We haven’t been doing a good job telling our story,” Balido said in an interview before his speech Saturday night at the annual Lincoln Day Dinner at the Pueblo Convention Center.

Balido told the local GOP that the party needs to rebuild itself, strategy and that it needs a more consistent dialogue with voters – especially Hispanics.

“Ronald Reagan said something in the ’80s: ‘Hispanics are more Republican, and they just don’t know it.’ And you know what, they still don’t know it,” the 38-year-old San Antonio resident said…

Tom “Send ‘Em Back” Tancredo agrees, this whole “lack of consistency” in…GOP messaging…to Hispanics is…a real problem…sorry. We just can’t keep going here with a straight face. But yeah, the place to start rebuilding a relationship with the increasingly pivotal Hispanic voting bloc is probably to stop making them feel like a black guy at a cross burning.

Have you met Dave Schultheis? Not exaggerating this problem, folks.
