Duh? I don't think anyone was unaware of this. The problem that is being pointed out is that these people waste time and stifle progress by voting in politicians who are dedicated to bringing us back to the 1950's.
I don't agree that the Latino population has anything to do with the kinds of religious infiltration in politics this country is dealing with. The Latino population is not really in favor of the GOP because of their stance on immigration and other issues that effect the Latino communities. The GOP is mostly favored in sections of the country where the white population vastly outnumbers all others. Also, the GOP caters to a lot of denominations that hate Catholics(i.e. Latino's).
