8. Their own PERSONAL self-interest and their home group's (self-)interest - two different things.

One of the eternal questions: Why do some members of any minority group (Black, Hispanic, women, Gay) vote Rethug?

The general answer seems to be self-enrichment and/or media attention, "celebrity": The way Ruben NAVARRETTE gets a column and now a spot on the CNN website by being a Hispanic constantly supporting Shrub and Rethugs and bashing "White Liberal males" for providing Affirmative Action to him and Clarence THOMAS and bashing all Democratic policies backed by traditional Hispanics.
