Colorado Hispanic Republicans Rally For Glorious Victory!



Something obviously happened, because there appear to be more Colorado Hispanic Republicans listed on the press advisory than actually in attendance at yesterday's rally.

It could honestly be a good thing to to see that lengthy advisory--otherwise you might get the idea that the people in the photo are all the Colorado Hispanic Republicans who, you know, exist.

Pro organizing tip: if a rally is about to send the opposite of the message you want, cancel it.

or if it is the poster's title. But I'm willing to bet that it would have been called the Colorado Latino Republicans, if it had actually been organized by latinos.

"Derrick Wilburn Rocky Mountain Black Tea Party"

There's a Black Tea Party? Does that mean they can't join the White Tea Party?

I am so confused.

They were with a busload of tourists that were taken to a buffet style restaurant where they had to wait to be seated. There were two rooms in the restaurant. One had the buffet table. It was when they went up for seconds that they realized the difference between the rooms. In the room with the buffet table, they had seated all the white-Caucasians. In the room where they were sitting in, the skin colors were much darker. Now, my relatives work in the professional fields, so this kind of obvious segregation shocked them. My brother leaned over the table and whispered to our nephew, "This is what is was like in the olden days." This just happened two years ago.

So, if Republicans are wondering why Arizona or Colorado latinos would distance themselves from the Republican party, keep in mind that these little decisions you make throughout the year to make yourself feel superior, well, they don't go unnoticed.
