Northland: Watching you bellow this wishful thinking of minorities abandoning the Democratic party is beyond laughable.
For the last few decades, Republicans have not been able to convince or win over any real majority in any racial demographic in the minority. Even the RNC Chair openly admitted that their strategy has been geared to target Southern Caucasians. Even if Republicans are more honest about what they don't like, their honesty is what's giving them a bad name. They're admitting that unless you look like them, speak like them and worship like them that they don't want you. And yet, somehow you think some disgruntled Latino, Black, Asian or other minority is going to look at a television screen, see an image where more than 95% of the people they point to are Caucasian, listen to them suggest discriminatory legislation that unfairly target minorities repeatedly, and jump over to the other side?
I said this in a previous thread, and I think it deserves repeating...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
You can stop dreaming and come back to reality. You don't win over a social demographic by preaching equality and doing nothing about it. That's Election 101. So go ahead... tell the Latinos who had to sit back and watch paranoid Republicans try and skewer Sotomayor for rhetorical nonsense about "wise Latinas" that they have more in common with themselves instead of the opposition. Keep telling black and women voters they're equal and how Affirmative Action hurts them, meanwhile do nothing to help promote equal pay for equal work and promote a workforce that still grants caucasian men more than 75% of the top paying jobs in America. Keep telling parents of children that everyone has the same opportunities at their doorstep, meanwhile they have to watch their kids go through metal detectors to get to school and use an aged, 10 year old computer that can't even search the web to do their schoolwork while others get the latest learning materials delivered to them every year. And when the articulate negro wins again in 2012, I'll simply sit back and laugh at your ass.
That's some reality for you. You can stop telling us what you dream at night.
You'd better darn well hope your snake oil salesmen Obama and the Pearl Wearer (Pelosi) along with Frantic Harry (Reid) start crafting a legitimate immigration reform act real soon. The Latinos, the Chinese, the Iraqis and many others are quite angered by the way this has been pushed to the back. Keep in mind all eyes are on Obama, who as recently as last week, discouraged any attempts at talks by legislators on immigration reform. Obama gained votes through a promise, and many- read the papers, check the polls, are already considering dumping him if nothing is done on this issue, and have no doubts, it is an issue to many of us who were not born in the U.S.A., even those who have obtained citizenship as we see our compatriots being ignored. Not a dream VB, it's quite real.
