16. Speaking of RUBIO....
I keep asking this question...but I never get an answer.

Are Rubio's PARENTS in America ILLEGALLY?

Is Rubio an “ANCHOR BABY“?

http://www.marcorubio.com/marco-101/

“In 1971, Marco was born in Miami to Cuban-born parents who came to America following Fidel Castro’s takeover.”

His website says nothing about the LEGAL status of his parents.

5. Do they realize that Hispanics are pissed after what the GOP did in Arizona
They'd get more support starting an "African Americans for Slavery" group

17. I don't think Obama has broken any promise - health care reform took much longer than expected
And it's not like he's signed into law the rights for police to question anyone who has an accent.

26. He promised immigration reform on his first year in office
That's a broken promise.

We're almost in the middle of his second year and.....nothing.
,
In fact, 2009 saw a record in deportations, increasing the number from the previous administration. So much for his position of not wanting to see families torn apart.

Many of the children of those deported during both last and this year worked really hard to get Obama elected based on that position and his promise. You bet that they are -at the very least- dissatisfied.

I'm not saying that they will turn to the GOP, but they have lost their faith and motivation to campaign or vote Democratic.

12. Why not a Hispanic "Tea Party" in Phoenix? Tucson? Prescott? Tuba City?
...be sure to bring your "papers!"

You could really educate Latinos about the conservative agenda!

14. Exactly!
LOLOLOL

What a laugh...they are going to get a "conservative" education? What
is that? How to hate and be negative?

Try doing that in Arizona...better yet, see how some of those Latinos
in Arizona, that are cleaning toilets, cooking, digging ditches, harvesting
tons of fruit and vegetables, feel about that kind of "education".

I can hardly wait to see what kind of Latino shows up for this...maybe
John "Cheeto" Boner, will get a "browner" shade of spray tan and try
to pass himself off as Hispanic?

18. Like the father of J.C. Watts said of his son:
a person of color voting Republican makes as "much sense as a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders".

This shows that Colonel Sanders must be a happy guy these days. It's a shame that it's a result of folks voting against their interests.

21. I can tell you from experience....
that the term "Hispanic" is pretty vague....I live in Winter Park (near Orlando) and the Latino community is very varied. Frankly, I think that many Latinos are really ashamed of County Commissioner Mildred Fernancez being arrested.

23. Uh, why don't they bring their "tea party" to AZ?
Edited on Fri May-14-10 08:55 AM by Javaman
I'm sure they would love showing their papers thus identifying themselves as "tea baggers".

27. Cubans
Conservative Latinos in Florida? Nine times out of ten I have encountered one, they are Cuban.

Some of them are really nuts. Terrorists like Orlando Bosch who bombed an airplane and killed 73 civilians walk free through the USA. Of course, since the US blesses such actions by providing safe haven to such terrorists, it is difficult to condemn Osama bin Laden for things such as 9/11.

I'm guessing that the majority (if not all) of these folks self-identify as white latin@s.
