Texas GOP: Hispanics are freeloaders
More can be found at : http://www.bayareahouston.blogspot.com/ PLEASE feel free to leave a comment.


On the recent episode of the PBS local series Red, White and Blue, Republican candidate for Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector Don Sumners was asked if he was concerned about getting the support of the Hispanic community after defeating incumbent Leo Vasquez. His answer concluded with the following - “I don’t have a problem with their (Hispanics) agenda except for trying to get benefits that may not have been earned.”


During last months primary in Texas, republican voters removed every candidate with a Hispanic name including Harris County's Tax Accessor, Leo Vasquez. This guy Sumners is a teabagger and is woefully unqualified to be an elected official.

The county's GOP has made a habit of giving free turkeys to hispanic kids at predominately hispanic schools. They also give bicycles to kids who pass the TAKS test. (which has been stopped because it is against the law)

3. I'm reminded of Danny DeVito's "buggy whip" speach in Other People's Money.
The GOP is capturing and increasing share of an ever-shrinking market that will eventually disappear.
