========================
Important Question: What do my 19 numbered posts above and below have in
common??
Answer: Every single one of them comes from REPUBLICAN operatives. I don't
have to use ONE WORD from my fellow Liberals.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Ask this lady:
"Of course it is racist! My dad cannot say it, but I can".
-Meghan McCain, born and raised in Arizona, when asked about AZ SB-1070
(aka. "Papiere, bitte").
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2) You may want to ask Dick Armey, Founder and Funder of the Tea Party:
"With Latinos forming the fastest-growing electoral bloc in the nation,
Armey says the GOP seems to be saying, “Let’s go out and
alienate them.” Armey said socially conservative Latino and
African American voters are natural constituents for the GOP ... if
Republicans don’t push them away. “The party was born with
the Emancipation Proclamation,” he said. But today, he added,
“it can’t get a black [or Hispanic] vote to save its
life.” (**)

Dick Armey, Founder and Funder of the Tea Party.
(**) I am sure you folks wonder what happened after Mr. Armey made those
sensible statements. The likes of Michelle Bachmann and Glenn Beck told
him to_STFU, and he obliged: the angry bagger_mobs drowned his calls for
rationality.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3) O'Donnell: "You Republican strategists are saying: 'How do we
undothis!? Look what we have done to the Latino voters... How can we
possibly get t= hem back?'"
Steve Schmidt, Top Republican Strategist (*), agreeing: "If we [the GOP]
had a deliberate strategy to antagonize every Latino voter in this
country, it is not possible that we could have done a better job".
"The Republican Party cannot be a national party if it doesn't compete in
the Hispanic market - Look at those numbers: we have big, big problems."
(*) Played by Woody Harrelson in the McCain campaign HBO movie.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(4) Check with Jeb Bush:

http://swampland.time.com/2012/02/24/did-jeb-bush-actually-say-that/
Jeb married a Mexican lady, and they lived here in Houston. After she was
ostracized in the country clubs, they decided to move to a city where
Hispanics rule: Miami. He has been one of the most popular politicians in
Florida's history. Founded some Hispanic group (not for the poor!!).

(5) Texas GOP official -- "Hispanics and Asian Americans are "maggots" who
voted for Obama"
http://www.star-telegram.com/2012/11/08/4399621/hardin-county-gop-official-wants.html
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(6) Check with this guy:
“The demographics race we’re losing badly,” said
Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (SC). “We’re not generating enough
angry white guys to stay in business for the long term.”
http://tinyurl.com/8knh2ul
ps: Where he tactfully said "anger" he meant "filled with hatred" or
"racists"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (7) Colin Powell's former chief of staff: "My party is full of racists":
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2012/10/27/colin-powells-former-chief-of-staff-gop-is-full-of-racists/
[This guy just resigned from the GOP]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This one bears REPETITION:
Colin Powell's former chief of staff: "MY PARTY IS FULL OF RACISTS".
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(8) Colin Powell:
"Colin Powell Accuses GOP Of Racism: They ‘Still Look Down On
Minorities’"
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/colin-powell-accuses-gop-of-racism-they-still-look-down-on-minorities/
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(9) Judge Edith Jones
Texas Judge, Bush candidate to the Supreme Court: "Blacks and Latinos are
prone to crime and violence"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
See below what the best and brightest, the future of the GOP have to say:
(10) College Republicans:
Voters believe that the Republican party is closed-minded, racist, rigid
and old-fashioned, according to a College Republican National Committee
(CNRC) report.
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57587346/college-republicans-gop-has-dismal-situation-with-young-voters/
The group above is composed of the best and the brightest, the FUTURE of
the Republican Party.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (11) Rand Paul:
“Republicans have been losing both the respect and votes of a
group of people who already identify with many of our beliefs in family,
faith and conservative values. Hispanics should be a natural and sizable
part of the Republican base,” Rand Paul said. “But they
have steadily drifted away from the GOP in each election. I think this
says more about Republicans than it does about Hispanics.”

(14) Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman apologized to one
of the nation's largest black civil rights groups Thursday, saying
Republicans had not done enough to court blacks in the past and had
exploited racial strife to court white voters, particularly in the South.

(18) Republicans Admit Racism Is Big Obstacle To Passing Immigration Reform
“Part of it, I think — and I hate to say this, because these are my people — but I hate to say it, but it’s racial,” said the REPUBLICAN lawmaker, who remained anonymous. “If you go to town halls people say things like, ‘These people have different CULTURAL customs than we do.’ And that’s code for race.”
