Jeb Bush: “Si! Viva La Raza!!!”
The Republican Party has alienated millions of Hispanic voters. Gee, just because the party is full of skinheads, KKK/Nazi-types, immigrant bashers and sheltered country-clubbers doesn’t mean they’re “racist” or anything. [sheesh] [pshaw]
Anyway, the GOP has found a solution to their image problem. Not the underlying cause of their shitty image. No. Just the image itself. Jeb Bush (remember now, his wife is a Meskin) has teamed up with Carlos Gutierrez, Boy George’s former commerce secretary. Their new whitewash organization is called the Hispanic Leadership Network. Together, they’ll come up with a band-aid to put over the festering putrefying abscess of hatred and bigotry that IS the Republican Party.
Problem solved.
And speaking of Republican “logic” (popularly known as Cognitive Dissonance):
There are two distinct separate reasons that the unemployment rate is so high. And these two reasons — these two contradictory beliefs — are held simultaneously by all Republicans:
1. It’s Obama’s fault. Completely. Case closed.
AND:
2. If you’re unemployed, it’s YOUR fault. Stop whining, get up off the couch and get the fuck out there and get a job! NOW, you worthless parasite!
[ouch] No wonder Aspirin and Ibuprofen sales are so high. You can get a wicked headache even pretending to think like a Republican.

I think Jeb Bush's wife is his token wife. Seriously.
I realize this has nada to do with this post, I've just been wanting to work this in somewhere for a long time now.
Yeah, I never realized until recently just how despicable those unemployed people are. Not as bad as Mexicans but not as good as zombies (zombies don't use food stamps).
At their next fundraiser, bet they have Jeb and Carlos come on stage to La Bamba.
"Together, they’ll come up with a band-aid to put over the festering putrefying abscess of hatred and bigotry that IS the Republican Party."
Well said, but they better start with a large roll of duct tape for Limbaugh's big mouth. Then they'll have to do something with Gov. Jan "Headless Bodies in the Desert" Brewer of Arizona. Good luck with that.
Wait, I know. Since it's two years to the next election, Christine O'Donnell needs a job. Maybe Bush and Guttierez could hire her to be the spokeswomen for this effort. She's got a cute face, camera presence and could probably learn to say, "Amigos, don't play with yourselves" or "Por favor, don't breed like flies" en español.
This is a bit of surprise as they usually don't start talking outreach unless they lost an election!
I always thought Jeb's wife was Cuban!
Anyone remember when Grandpa Bush introduced Jeb's kids to Reagan as "The Little Brown Ones"?
I would also play the video of an Interview Jeb did when he first ran for Governor when he was asked what the Bush Administration would do for blacks and he answered "Probably not enough!" and lost that election!
Les they brag about having the first Latina Governor of New Mexico, remember she follows the first Latino Governor of New Mexico (Richardson) who is a Democrat. We can also remember the Republicans weren't too crazy about having the first Latina member of the Supreme Court.
In California, Meg Whitmnan bought shitloads of time on Spanish media and opened up offices in their neighborhoods but refused a debate on the Spanish channel nor did she ever campaign there - sends a message don't you think?
But getting to the subject - the problem is every time a "fringe" group tries to reach out (as they have tried numerous times with blacks) the Hardright, the leadership (read rednecks) never cooperate. In fact they almost do their best to torpedo every effort made.
Seriously, can you image Palin (who only speaks to white crowds), or Gingrich (the redneck), the two presidential front runners for now actually trying to REACH out to the Latino community?
My Prediction this may get some steam until they figure raising the specter of immigration means more votes from their faithful then courting a few Latino Votes.
Anybody want to take me up on that?

Well, the GOP already have a bunch of poor White people duped into thinking that they're working in their best interest. Why not dupe some light brown people as well.
Jadadj would that be token, trophy, or just a stage prop?
If only the Latino community would listen to some of the republican taking points and sound bites they'd never vote republican again. Let me see there's "anchor babies", "drug crazed gangs beheading Americans", "deport all illegals and their U.S. born children", "set up concentration camps" and lastly "execute them".
I need a vicodin just from reading you trying to reason like a republican.
@Bee, you know I have some good stuff for headaches :) Jeb Bush will not get close, unless PO totally chokes and the twit from the Tundra is the nominee, that way, he'll look like the sane one. If that is the case, I have to tell you, I would really have to consider Germany/Italy as a place of refuge.
This is one brown vote he won't be getting.
Republicans do not think. They regurgitate or react.
jadedj: Whether she was a token or not, Jeb's blueblood parents must have had a Texas-size hissyfit when their preppy son married a swarthy minority.
J: Bravo to the zombies for not using food stamps. Maybe they'll eat some of those despicable unemployed people.
Randal: Or maybe they could do the Limbo and show everyone how low they can go.
SW: Christine O'Donnell "reaching out" in Spanish, LOL. That's probably how phony their "be nice to a Meskin" effort will be.
Erik: She probably is Cuban, now that you mention it. Their son, George P. is a future presidential candidate (they hope) and he gets compared to Ricky Martin.
You're right, this is a bit early for them to be thinking about elections and public perception. No, I can't imagine Palin or Gingrich even trying to reach out to any minorities.
Thomas: Good point. Maybe all they need is a tiny adjustment to their mass psychology techniques that have already been so successful on poor whites. I hope it won't work, but you never know.
Demeur: It's up to Democratic campaigners to publicize those actual GOP quotes. They probably won't, though; it makes too much sense.
Bee: So do I.
Jess: Jeb Bush and Sarah Palin vying for the nomination -- that's scarier than any movie I've ever seen.
Dave: "They regurgitate or react." And those are the smart ones.
