Romney Camp: Obama Not Macho Enough For Latinos
Romney gains in Florida. Democrats say the polls are skewed.
...........
Romney aides told BuzzFeed their polling indicates that Obamas biggest vulnerability among Hispanics is that hes viewed as a weak leader. In much of Latino culture, they explained, political leaders are expected to demonstrate a macho bravado, and Obamas debate performance last month with his verbal pauses, downward gaze, and weak defense of his own record seemed to exacerbate the incumbents perception problem.

Just as many cannot resist the opportunity to be the vulgar one. Six of one, half a dozen of the other...

Oh, those that killed him (while others stood by) used that very term that you claim in either innocence or in malice that is not offensive.
Is this how you want to be known here?

Your use of that term is extremely offensive and way out of line.
You should have the decency to self-delete it.
It's not funny. At all. In any possible twisted manner. Whatsoever.
I had a gay friend who was murdered in Lima, Peru. He was taunted as a "maricon".
Not funny.

(1,201 posts)Wow; that not a stereotype, is it? Mittens is so clueless that if he were addressing a Latino crowd and made reference to the Frito Bandito, he wouldn't understand why people were, rightfully, upset. Sorry, for the DU younger members. This was acceptable stereotyping in advertising in the early 1970's.

(6,335 posts)He says its Gore's fault that we are in todays problems. He says Gore gave up too easily which I couldnt figure out why he would vote GOP since then. Then last week I figured it out. Gore wasnt macho enough for him because he quit and so I think he went GOP after that. He loves listening to "El Rushmo" every day who he calls SOO funny. He seems obsessed with the GOP myth that Gore says he "invented" the internet. I have told him a dozen times Gore said he created the internet not invented it but he's hopelessly gone now. He is poor with 2 kids and has huge medical bills he'll never be able to repay.

(27,461 posts)if you were just teasing, ok, but if you really think he has that attitude is because he is Mexican you need to get over that, imo.

But its the only explanation I could come up with for his bizarre reasoning. He is so brainwashed he even hates other Mexicans now and he is very Latino looking himself. Sad. He's a very good semi-famous local photographer which is my biz tie to him. He is always wanting to talk politics and how bad Obama is. He has told me several times he blames it on Gore losing! Go figure.

(17,387 posts)Romney once again is trying to suppress Latino votes while also muddling his prior strident anti-immigration talk.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/post/romney-arizona-immigration-law-a-model/2012/02/23/gIQA8ULZVR_blog.html
After moderator John King noted that Sheriff Arpaio said it was political garbage to not arrest and deport illegal immigrants, and asked Romney if he supported aggressive arresting and deportation, Romney went further than just endorsing Arizonas approach.
I think you see a model in Arizona, Romney said, citing the employment verification system, stepped up border patrols and a border fence as goals for his presidency. You do that, and just as Arizona is finding out, you can stop illegal immigration, Romney said, adding that he would halt lawsuits against the Arizona law on day one. Santorum went even further.
I dont know how this plays among swing voters some polls have shown national support for the Arizona law but if Obama and Dems can make this stick, Romney may have ended any hopes of making any real inroads among Latino voters. And that could have far reaching ramifications in the general election.
