In reply to the discussion: Republicans Turn to Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio to Repair Breach With Hispanics [View all]HockeyMom
(14,337 posts)6. Rubio co-sponsored the Blunt Amendment
As a female, that would be enough for me not to vote for the likes of him, anymore than I would vote for a Palin or a Backmann just because they are female. Hell, I even voted for Obama over Hillary (female) in the Primary because I thought Hillary wasn't quite ready for the job. In the future? Maybe. Gender, or race, or ethnicity is not enough for me, as a (White) WOMAN.
It is the MESSAGE, not the MESSENGER that is the problem with them. They just don't get it, and maybe never will.

The Hispanics and Cubanos have different roots. "Latino" seems to represent both??

Yes. But it's a starter for people who think "they are all alike" just because of their surnames.

Tokenism won't do it. Let's see the Pukes overwhelmingly pass the Dream Act, etc.
