Cruz is a Houstonian.

The media sure works hard to separate republicans from Texas. I remember when the media portrayed H.W. Bush as being finished with pretending to live in Texas when he was leaving the White House, when actually he moved back to Texas and has been there ever since.

George W. has always gotten the same treatment, and now Cruz.

“Shouldn’t”?? Whiteys dictating to minorities on how to vote? That’s racist.

If they won't, there's no need to tell them why they shouldn't.

“Cruz isn’t an authentic latino because he doesn’t have the correct politics.”

He’s too successful and married a white woman and has a white mother. He’s not “pure” enough.

Obama 102 isn’t an authentic black, he is bi racial.
Why is it that Tiger Woods acknowledges the background of both parents and not Obama 102, is it because he has an 102 IQ score and doesn’t know he is bi racial?

Yeah, but your minority half only counts if you’re a Democrat.

Catholics are a democrat voting denomination, so it is easier to label which of their publications would not be liberal, or moderate, almost non are truly conservative, although some are right of center, or republican supporting.

National Catholic Reporter is a lefty raglit, as opposed to the National Catholic Register, which is traditional.

I do think most know that the Church has been openly and obviously infiltrated with socialists or worse, but many are devout and traditional. The traditional are somewhat at the mercy of the socialist crowd who have gained influence.

Cruz did just fine with Latino American voters in his Texas senate win. Like the so called “peaceful Muslims” who deplore the radicals of their religion, there are an abundance of Latino Americans who deplore the socialist radicals of their race.

At least there are plenty in Texas, so the writer whistles Dixie past the facts.

I am both an American of Mexican decent, and a faithful Catholic. Neither this socialist tool nor the quisling rag he writes for represent my views. There are many more like me, and many, many more who would be if they could be deprogrammed from their leftist brainwashing.

The Mexicans that are out here in Az do, every May 5th.

They speak of it as a celebration and go to the restaurants that yes, are making money on it. But they offer it because the places are jammed.

I got in trouble at work once for asking what are they celebrating. It was taken in a negative way, but I meant it as a real question, because they were talking about it as a celebration.

The Mexicans are using it that way.

Catholics are a democrat voting denomination,

That's history, today Catholics are changing their politics to reflect the morals they grew up with. I see it on discussion boards where those solid vote democrats are a minority. I believe a majority of those voting for Obama were CINOs.

Yes it is history, and current history as well.

The Catholic vote goes democrat.

It's hard to keep track of which "Catholic" media outlets are leftist and which aren't. This one's clearly CINO.

Yeh, it's pretty hard to keep track of catholics in the last fifty year, let alone pope francis...

Before I get crucified, I was raised as a catholic, until I was 9 years old and started to watch the whole thing fall apart.

"Catholics are a democrat voting denomination..."

The majority of Catholics who actually go to church regularly vote Republican.

The majority of White Catholics vote Republican.

There are more Catholic Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives than Catholic Democrats.
