Another reason why the GOP will have trouble with the Latino Vote

We all know how Romney's tone during the campaign alienated Latino voters.
It also seems that the GOP is pushing them away by constantly trying to repeal Obamacare.

Dumb move.

Jan Brewer knows which way the wind is blowing and wisely accepted Obamacare. Perry in Texas is not accepting it. Which will only make that state go blue quicker.

It's really hard to understand why it is that wetbacks dislike the GOP.

Despite the fact that she's a Republican...I think Amy Holmes is hot. I do.

Interesting that he used "wetback" in the context of labor on his dad's old farm. Prior to Mexican labor there were his neighbors kids out there pickin' maters. I gawruntee it.

It just shows that greed has no end. Wealth disparity, on the other hand, does. It will reach a breaking point.

A republican mouthpiece of some sort. But, much more attractive than that scarecrow Coulter or that ditzy hag Palin.

"We had 50-60 wetbacks............."

Possessive pronoun, as if they were "owned" by his family followed by a demeaning racial slur. My next question would have been,

"So why didn't you and your old man pick your own tomatoes? Did you consider the work to be beneath you?"

Regards,
Dave
