Via USA Today, we hear from Didi Lima, GOP communications (!) director in Clark County, Nevada:




Quote:
"We don't want (Hispanics) to become the new African-American community," Lima told The Associated Press. "And that's what the Democratic Party is going to do to them, create more programs and give them handouts, food stamps and checks for this and checks for that. We don't want that."

"I'm very much afraid that the Democratic Party is going to do the same thing that they did with the African-American culture and make them all dependent on the government and we don't want that," she said.
Lima "was removed from her post" after the remarks, according to the article, and lost her second position as well.

Quote:
In August, Lima was named co-chair of McCain's Nevada Hispanic Leadership Team, which aimed to reach out to a crucial voting bloc in a state where polls show McCain in a dead heat with Barack Obama.

Yeah and it's a great way to attract Hispanic voters to the GOP, specially in a battleground state like Nevada which doesnt have any considerable amount of Hispanic population.
