As I noted previously . . . Window dressing and nice speeches without a leadership role or a voice in developing the party platform is nothing more than just another brand of tokenism. Word to Marco Rubio's papa.
Just a bit more proof . . .
RNC's Program Aimed At Luring More Latino Voters
On the bright side and just to prove I'm not bitter . . . Everybody is going to have Latino grandkids.
Fact: there are more elected Hispanic Republicans than Democrats. Republicans support and elect Hispanics while Democrats treat them as another race beholden. Fortunately, hard working Hispanics aren't buying into it.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans support the election to higher office of minorities and as you can see, Romney even handed a plum cabinet position to a Democrat who happens to be a woman and black. I guess you are more supportive of attracting minorities by promising them freebees and payouts than offering them true participation? When will Freedom Inc. start whispering about Obama money again?

ReplyDeleteI already do and they are going to be grouchy conservative Libertarians who end entitlements and get folks out of their mom's basement and back to work.
True dat.
ReplyDeleteChuck, you bring the most important issue to the forefront. Ending entitlements. I'm more concerned with this issue than any other we face. The social security fund alone represents roughly $4.8 trillion of the $15.7 trillion national debt. The fed has borrowed against the funds interest surplus consistently since 1941. What do we replace that source of "income" with once it's ended? The idea of ending entitlements isn't exactly ludicrous, but doing it with no solid plan in place is a frightening proposition. Thats what we're not hearing from anyone touting the end of entitlements. That aside, I was more impressed with Marco Rubio's RNC speech than any other speaker. Too bad he's not running for president. At least he would have the Sarah Palin star power, with the brains to back it up, and a way better chance of replacing Obama than does Romney...
ReplyDeleteMy apologies-fed should read federal government.
DeleteUh, TKC?
ReplyDeleteUnless you can demonstrate a government policy or subsidy that made your blog the most widely trafficked in the KC metro, I think Marco Rubio's conservative argument trumps your liberal racialism.
On to November, pardner.
Hispanics and African Americans who are upwardly mobile and aspire to elected office become Republicans, because there is a smaller group of minorities in the GOP to compete with.
ReplyDeleteThey become rising stars because they are "an endangered species" in the GOP.
Also, not that many minorities in the GOP base, but minorities (even Democrats) will often "blindly" change sides and vote Republican to elect a fellow minority candidate.
Want to be elected as a "minority candidate" ...become a Republican.
Terms like Latino and Hispanic will become meaningless over time as population assimilate and reform just as terms like Hun, Visagoth, Anglo, Saxon and Prussian mean nothing today.
ReplyDeleteThat's why we should all be having sex with white women.
ReplyDeleteMix it up baby, mix it up.
Lation Voter drive for the GOP, is this something Kris Kobach is doing for Romney....
