Stunned GOP Leaders Discover Latinos Don't Like Them!

SUDDENLY, MITT ROMNEY and other GOP leaders find themselves in a pickle. Or in Spanish, you say they're in "el encurtido."

In the Bible, which these same GOP folks love to quote, it's known as reaping what you sow.

Mitt will think of something on immigration:
as soon as he figures out what will help
him get elected.

With President Obama's recent decision to halt deportations of young Hispanics, 30 years old or younger, those who came here before age 16 and have lived here at least five years, those who have no criminal records and remain in school or serve in the U. S. military, who were two years old, or five, or eleven when they came to the United States with parents, the GOP is scrambling to lay out some kind of coherent position to appeal to Latino voters.

Well, what is the Republican Party position? The Party of the Fence? You know:  halt the waves of dark-skinned people with a wall. Maybe electrify it for good measure? Thank you, Herman Cain.

And when Cain backed away from that position during the recent Republican primaries, hinting that he was joking, there was crazy Michelle Bachmann, insisting, no, this was no time for levity, or compassion, for that matter.

We needed to complete that border fence. Maybe add a little razor wire, a few guard towers, a machine gun or two.


Now:  Imagine you're an undecided Latino voter. You think to yourself, "Mitt Romney doesn't seem so bad." So you go to YouTube and type in something like "Tea Party and securing the borders" and start looking at scary videos, demonizing people like you, warning that you and your wife and aunts and uncles are intent on driving white people out of this country, and then read such intellectual comments as this from dakota 7609:  "Filthy nasty Illegal shit smelling spics..Make anyone want to Vomit just from looking at them."

Well, still...that wasn't Mitt Romney speaking.

So you swallow another dose of right-wing rat poison  and go to the video of a broadcast by Michael Savage, titled "Is Obama Trying to Start a Race War?" You look at the first still image, portraying all Mexicans as criminals, and think you know who might be ready for a little race war and think it isn't Mr. Obama. You listen to Savage rant about "Hispanic rabble," and how they plan to riot in the streets and marvel at what passes for conservative philosphy, when CHHSE1986 adds a comment on illiterate Hispanics, calling them "illegal vermin."

After GOP candidates in the craziest primary season in memory spent months, collectively, demonizing Latinos, after Mitt Romney and Gingrich and Trump and Perry all came out against the Dream Act, as if you and your type were cockroaches, after Romney said he favored some bizarre phenomenon called "self-deportation," after the loudest barking attack dogs on the right spent two years defending the Arizona immigration law that basically required anyone who looked Latino, who looked like you, to carry papers proving your citizenship and put up with the humiliation of a search any time a police officer said you appeared suspicious, how could you NOT want to vote for the GOP ticket?

Now Republicans are crying because President Obama is "playing politics" with the immigration issue--an issue they've been playing politics with for years. They wake up, with shock and amaze-ment, to discover that among all likely voters, of ever race, color, shape or size, initial polls find that 64% approve of President Obama's position.

Only 30% oppose; and many of those are angry old folks in funny tri-corner hats.

It's even worse when the GOP looks at polls of Latino voters, worse yet for all of those haters in the political sewer where GOP leaders have been bathing (and we might point out to these poor benighted souls that now we are talking only about legal citizens of this great nation), especially when we keep in mind that this poll was taken before Obama's recent policy decision. Latinos favor Obama over Romney, 66% to 23%.

Curioso!

Mitt Romney might be a decent fellow, albeit a man without any convictions. He might not be able to say, when asked this weekend, if he'd overturn Mr. Obama's order if he was elected president. Really, Mitt's problem is that he doesn't know what he thinks on the issue because he's not sure what to say if he wants to be elected. His problem is that most of the voters he needs to court want him to say he's for electric fences, want him to act like Latinos are all drug-runners and criminals and dark-skinned vermin.

And Romney and GOP leaders can't figure our why Hispanic voters don't like them?

HISPANICS AREN'T BLIND, DEAF AND DUMB; and almost all who can legally vote speak plenty of English. They don't want to elect Mitt, the man of a thousand gutless answers, and they don't want to put a party into power that kowtows to gun-toting facists who want to seal the borders with gunfire and bloodshed.

Or turn on the electric fence and keep out those dangerous children.
