    Obama is even with McCain in Florida. Can't remember the last time a democrat was competitive among latinos in FL.

    This McSame campaign just smacks of Karl Rove's dirty fingerprints all over it.

    Oh man if Obama could get the Latino perception to move over for him even a tad, election night returns from Texas could get VEDDY VEDDY enjoyable. We have a large black and Latino population here. Oh my pulse is racing. Maybe with some coat tailing we could see Senator Jubilation T Cornhole (John Cornyn) riding his quarter horse or cutting horse into the sunset! Pass the popcorn, kids. Let's see....Latinos are Catholic and hate Mormons, too. So put Mitty in Veep, get Latinos to like Obama just a tad more, and voila....I am going to Sams today to buy a 100 lb bag of popcorn and one of those neat poppers that you see at circuses. Ruh Roh!!!!!! Texas, I might actually come to love you!!!!!!

    Daily Quote from Ms Thang Rodeo Queen Pill-Poppin' Mama Cindy McSame:
    "Oh John just ADORES Chicanos! He's real fond of Conchitta, our maid, and Pedro, our gardener...I bought him a pad with English-Spanish translations so we could just check off things we wanted done around the house and not have to learn that pesky espanol shit. And they work for pennies, too!...Yes, John and I are terribly fond of our brown people!"

    Most of us don't know about the thousands of little Iglesias around the country, assuming Latinos are all Catholic. Surprise on you and your "last war" mentality, bro.

    From my reading, at least here in the Southwest, they are a tiny fraction of the Latino churches. But what do I know.
  • hardeknox · 1 year ago
    I am a recently retired salesman, and have traveled many miles in city neighborhoods. I see numerous Iglesias dotted around the city. Perhaps some miles in Latino areas would give you a different slant on things. Don't just rely on the phone book. There are reasons that Catholic churches are consolidating, and this is one example why membership is shrinking.

    My friends, Senator Obama is to blame for the Jalapeno peppers.

    Lupita, bring the chips and salsa!

    They are now 20% of the voting block. Enough to swing an election.

    Viva! Bueno!

    The republican party is the party of the WASP. It is a fact. Latinos should know they are being sold a bill of goods. I guess they finally got the message that they aren't going to do anything for them.
