Republican candidates in race to see who can repulse the most latino voters

[cali]

No, that's not a headline but after last night's spanish language debate, it should be. I just read part of the transcript, and with the partial exception of McCain, these guys are so tone deaf and ham handed, it's breathtaking. Latinos fled the repuke party in 2006. Look for an even greater exodus in 2008. They'll be left with only a handful of hardline Cuban-Amerians.

I honestly do not care who of the GOP says what. Tell me how the liberal leader of the Democratic Party will get USA back to the light of good government.

2. Well, I suggest you carefully read all the dem presidential

candidate's websites for the answer to that. And some of us find the sociological aspects of the current political situation worth looking at.

5. they're looking for the true believer vendidos

not all cubanos are gusanos, thankfully. otoh, how many times do you read some spanish-surname quoted in the paper defending immigrant bashing, "i came here legally" (translation: "i've got mine, screw the rest of youse.")

it's banging your head against a brick border fence to remind these tipos that immigrant energy is the life's blood of an increasingly effete nation.

so i'll quote a poet, abelardo delgado, who wrote "stupid america" in 1969:

stupid america, see that chicano
with a big knife
in his steady hand
he doesn't want to knife you
he wants to sit on a bench
and carve christ figures
but you won't let him.

stupid america, hear that chicano
shouting curses on the street
he is a poet
without paper and pencil
and since he cannot write
he will explode.

stupid america, remember that chicanito
flunking math and english
he is the picasso
of your western states
but he will die
with one thousand masterpieces
hanging only from his mind

They blew off BET and the blacks, they hate most Hispanics (except the ones who mow lawns), women, gays and the elderly. Now they're doing a number on the military. Whose next?
