2004 US Presidential Election

GOP Almost Completely Absent From NCLR

More on the Latino vote: News 8 Austin offers this report of the annual convention for the National Council of La Raza, the largest Hispanic organization in the nation. Summary: the Republican's were MIA (with the exception of Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-TX), and Dean lit em' up.

In a fiery speech, Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean hit right to the heart of the crowd.

"Immigrants built this country. We ought to respect them and stop racial profiling them and keeping them out of our universities and making it harder for them to get by," Dean said.

“and I’m just the kind of East Coast limousine liberal white guy governing a worthless state that can get that done!”, he continued.

And when did CA become a Mexican State? Yesterday? Or was that on Clinton’s watch? I’m going to stand by on this one… HE scares me, but of course, with the in-migrant naturalized crowd, they haven’t given up their ties to the Dems yet. Still suckin’ the tit of the Socialist Pig.

The NCLR doesn’t speak for Hispanics any more than the NOW speaks for women. As far as Cali being a Mexican state, take a look at the state policies towards illegals. Without the power that the Mexicans (specifically) have in California, the policies might actually be sane.

Living here in the liberals’ mecca, I will have to agree totally with Gus on that one, on all counts.
NOW and NCLR are organizations whose agendas are more political than they are devoted to the collectives they purport to represent.

The Mexican population here in Cal, even as far north as SF, is such that those who are legal and can vote constitute a large enough constituency that the politicians cater to them, and the majority of their community is sympathetic to the illegals- many families have illegal relatives living with them and working at off the books labor jobs, etc, also.
The result is that the politicians here, most of whom are liberals, anyway, bend over backwards to keep the Mexican voters happy, up to and including doing whatever they have to do to mollycoddle those here illegally.

National Council of La Raza?

La Raza??? WTF kind of fascist pseudo-darwinist genetic supremacy is that? Okay, I’m jumping to conclusions here, but seriously, they’ve lost all my respect with the name of their organization alone.

TBox
I think it comes from back in the late 1960s and early 1970s, back in the days of the Brown Berets, the old Chicano militant organization, who played an aggressive combative role against LAPD during the Whittier riots back then.
I believe they coined the term La Raza around that time.
Their battle cry or whatever was “Viva La Raza!”

I haven’t purchased any dime bags in 30+ years, (back then it WAS a dime bag), so my Espanol is a tad rusty and barnacle-encrusted. Someone wanna run La Raza through the Translatorthingy for me? Por favor? Merci beaucoups.

I also thought I’d remind the Deanblogger Undercover guy that’s workin’ all the blogships, to pay a visit and announce his poorass selfpresence to me. I’d like to launch a couple of welltuned wordmissiles over the portside rail, and a direct hit would be better than a warning shot…
