1. They are used to dealing with a corrupt regime first you have to sigh the

pledge then you get in line for the political and economic benefits. It is called cronyism. :puke:

8. Don't assume this group represents

all Latinos. They sure don't represent me or any other Latino I know. I am sure there are a lot of other Latino groups around. This one does not speak for all of us.

10. Because they are a bunch of wannabe's

My latino family, some of them tend to feel that it makes them appear to be more successful to claim to be repuke. Of course I can not print on line what I call them. My parents and I just shake our heads, we've managed to change some of their minds but the ones that are claiming to be repuke are the ones that are semi successful. I just laugh at them, it pisses them off because they are not as successful as my husband and I and will never have the opportunity because I always tell them they are LAZY, and dumber than a rock if they think this dumb fuck * is going to help them. But their non latin neighbors are repukes so they follow like sheep.

14. You have a point. Some of them,

when they make money and become successful see the Democratic Party as the party for "losers." LOL. But I have found that the people that tend to fall in this category tend to be the insecure, self loathing, wanna be white Latinos. Like an uncle of mine.

16. MSNBC: Interviewing the Latino Coalition guy vs. another Latino Org.

The Kerry supporter did a good job discrediting the Latino Coalition guy, who just spouted rethug talking points.

17. Latino "Coalition" my ass

The only coalition they represent is that lunatic, blind-eyed fringe on the right that thinks Shrub is awsome cause he can speak Spanish. I'm Latino and I'm guaranteeing you that there won't be many Latino votes cast for President Doofus.
