Candidates Vie For Hispanic Voters

In a way, it is slightly offensive how much these politicians are vying for the "Hispanic vote." Come on, speaking Spanish so that we can understand! That is just too funny. If we live in America and are American citizens--since only those can vote!--chances are that we can read, write, and speak English. Don't demean us with your mockery.

I think that we should be spoken to in the same manner as any other ethnic group. We want to know what the candidates' positions are on a lot of issues. We are tax paying individuals that are drowning in this mess that has become of our world. How can you help us? And yes, tell us in English, the language that we learn in school and use to communicate.

Unbeknown to the candidates apparently, many of us are educated and can think as independent beings separate from an entire group. The world has evolved and so have the Hispanic people. Lose the mentality that we are all living together in a house like a car of clowns. Have some respect for us please.

¿Que? No entiendo.¿"O-bama", es esto grape jelly + peanut butter?

¿McCain es sugar dessert de McDonalds?

I am enjoying the irony of Obama's attempts to reach out to a group who clearly despises him. Why? Just read what his black supporters say of hispanics...start with RIC RICHLAND's gems or other black Obama supporters...they've got nothing but negative words for hispanics.

Blacks are too stupid to realize how to build coalitions. They instead think they can continue to complain and invoke guilt in others to acquire what they need. Hispanics can't stand their histriontics and don't fall for their BS.

Obama can pander all he wants but his black supporters have sealed his fate. Next time...learn to build coalitions. That means don't complain and whine, don't expect, and learn to treat other racial or ethnic groups with respect.

White politicians have always known how to be pragmatic...so have their supporters.

Oh, puh-leeze! Your race war fantasies are not shared by real Americans.

Obama's Latino vote: A homecoming?
The Democrat's share of the Latino vote suggests a reversal for the GOP

"...a new poll of Latino voters in 21 states run by Pacific Market Research and political scientists at the University of Washington has found Obama's potential level of support approaching what predecessors in his party, prior to 2004, have been able to attract. Obama was the favorite among 60 percent surveyed, McCain 23 percent, with 16 percent undecided. The poll has a 3.5 percentage-point margn of error...."

The GOP is desperate to play one group off against another, and the media is desperate to seem relevant in an environment where political news is followed on the web by 50% of Americans. So they pretend there is conflict, and you race war fans eat it up. Pathetic!

Many Hispanics have been citizens since the territories becam states. They speak perfect English and are well educated, citizens holding responsible positions. The addiction to stereotypes may be easier than actually learning and thinking, but it certainly doesn't help you understand reality. And you all speak lousy Spanish.

Obama dspoke to Hispanics in English about a week ago:

Obama's Remarks to NALEO
Barack Obama

NALEO Opening Statement
Washington, DC

I'm proud to be here today not just as the Democratic nominee for President, but as the first African American nominee of my party, and I'm hoping that somewhere out in this audience sits the person who will become the first Latino nominee of a major party.

You know, being here today is a reminder of why I'm in this race. Because the reason I'm running for President is to do what you do each day in your communities - help make a difference in the lives of ordinary Americans. And that's what I've been working with Latino leaders to do ever since I entered public service more than twenty years ago....

Read it, please. I think its everything you want. Obama doesn't marginalize anyone.

Replace "Hispanics" with "Whites" in that article and it would be considered racist.

We're sitting on our thumbs while this country is being taken out from under us my fellow Americans of European decent.

You decide when enough is enough. I've drawn my line in the sand and will fight tooth and nail.

Acknowledging that groups of people share a unique heritage and concerns is not racist. I don't expect that you will understand that.

We are all people, and we are all Americans. The ties that bind are much stronger than the differences. If you choose to hate and fear, you will never understand community. I pity you.

They breed like "rabbits on Viagra" at taxpayers expense. If we don't nip this in the bud soon our country will be gone. Who will support them then??? It is not Global Warming that will end this country. It is unchecked immigration!!
BE MINDFUL WHO YOU PUT IN CONGRESS AS BOTH CANDIDATES ARE "ILLEGAL LOVERS."

Obama Cartoon Changed into a Racist Slur on the Internet
==========

A Halifax newspaper's editorial cartoon showing Barack Obama on the lawn of the White House thinking: "Well first off, that (White House) sign's gonna have to go" has been hijacked on the Internet and turned into a racial slur against the U. S. Democratic presidential hopeful.
