Boom chaka boom boom!
ReplyDeleteJust a piece of paper. Until the Charter is amended to do away with the at-large system, and we have 12 responsive in-district council members (including the westside), this is meaningless.
ReplyDeleteWhy do minorities insist on empty promises? Why do politicians spend time making empty promises?
ReplyDeletedont believe this crap from the council time for a recall?
ReplyDeleteOnly those who can't hack it in the real world need bullshit resolutions like this.
ReplyDeleteThere goes the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteCool. Another worthless government council.
ReplyDeleteNice work Tony. This is good news.
ReplyDeletekewl. Just make sure everyone involved is here LEGALLY. Jist sayin.

ReplyDeleteI love Latinos, well actually not, but I love the Latino woman, they are hot,( and their 2.00 an hour, taking all our jobs men can be deported) I have no problem with that! more Latino VAJJ for me lol
ReplyDeleteBTW why do you think there are so many Latinos in the US? Its because of the Latino women, the Latino men are usually unloyal, as your, if you have one (Latino wife tells me)... so hey if the city is going to include Latinos in city hall, make sure to vote in a Latino chick - I will tell ya though Latino chicks are spicy, and its either a good spicy or a really bad burn in hell spicy so make sure you do a background check b4 you vote - sorry T I know you are a wetback, but hey we all know living in your moms basement is not pulling you much trim, lets be real (no disrespect, just stating a point) and if my post seems irrelevant to T's original post then you are part of the problem and not even close to the solution - go back to school .
stupid 7:43. You make white people look horrible. Not because of your dimwit racism. But because you're an idiot and not as bright as you think.
ReplyDeleteI'm a democrat who is against illegal immigration. They drive down the cost of labor. Take the meat packing industry for example. In 1980 the average wage for someone in that industry was about $20 an hour. An American could support a family on that. Now it's about $10 an hour average.
ReplyDeleteIn the middle of a depression, Americans need all the good jobs we can get. With more and more of our jobs being shipped overseas, where do people who don't go to college get a decent job with a living wage? So, it really hurts those of us without a college education to have to compete with people who will work for next to nothing and don't expect benefits.
8:07 - so we are supposed to reward lozers who dont go to college...no thanks pal, that will only make our country worse off in the long run. It goes like this: Get an education, then get a good job. Don't blame the Mexicans for your inability to support your family...that's your fault for fu#king around in school instead of working your ass of like those of us who have good jobs that were earned.
ReplyDeleteAnother Latino committee, another meeting to attend. That is all they do, meet and nothing happens.
ReplyDeleteSame names, over and over. Whether it's at the national or local level, before and just after the elections, the victors throw out a few scraps, the Latinos lap them up, pat each other on the ass, and go back to sleep. Obama did the same thing, he will do it again and they will fall for it. Just like Lucy promising Charlie she won't move the football.
Do they all have to contribute to Theresa Garza's wealth like Genaro?
ReplyDeleteThe only "latino participation at city hall" needs to be them cleaning the toilets and taking out the trash!
ReplyDeleteAt what point do we pass a resolution urging the participation of White people?
ReplyDeleteDo they all get no work jobs like Genaro Ruis?
ReplyDelete9:39: your Charlie Brown reference made me ROTFLMAO! Thanks or as they say on SWB, garcias amigo!
ReplyDeleteThose Somali women are good looking. How about it Tony? Let's have more hot somalis.
ReplyDeletePlease use your own name. If you don't remember what it is just use anonymous.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good thing. Great.
Now, how about a commitment to helping the east side in the same way?
if you actually believe this i got a bridge with ocean front property to sell in ariz. cheap
ReplyDeleteMexicans are the new niggers!
ReplyDeleteEat me, you WV hillbilly...yeah BF I'm talking to you. Why should we give a rat's nut about what you think or say? Do you pay taxes in KC? Heck, when's the last ime you spent a penny here?
ReplyDeleteI donated to Brandon Ellington's campaign.

ReplyDeleteIf your name is really Byron, then I can appreciate that my seemingly trade marking OUR name would be annoying. Its not really that uncommon of a name. I've known several Byron's. Its even a surname here. Byron's Construction is just across the river.
I apologize for the annoyance.
Byron, don't apologize. You are free to make comments, as is everyone else. I still don't think this is news. Just posturing. Means absolutely nothing.
