"We are not perfect. We have made mistakes in the past, and we will make mistakes in the future, but we are proud and we will fight back. One of the biggest mistakes that we’ve made is not to stand up for who we are.(Socialists) We are not Republicans.(Duh!) We don’t want to be Republicans. We think most people who are Republicans don’t really want to be Republicans." (Schadenfraude)

Q: How does one say "YEEEAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH" in Spanish?

A: "EL YEEEAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH"

Dean recruits for the old plantation.

[Liberty Valance]

LOL! Exactly.

[ncountylee]

Wants them to sing "it's a treat to beat yor feet on ....' in Spanish.

The national leader of the Democratic Party denied Friday that Republicans are winning over traditionally Democratic black and Hispanic voters, and he pledged that his party will no longer take its supporters for granted.

Um... contradiction alert?

During the rally, Dean received some of his most rousing applause by capitalizing on local opposition to the Minuteman Project and accusing the GOP of fear mongering. He warned Democrats here that immigrants will replace homosexuals as the Republican Party’s whipping boy.

Ridiculous statements like this will ensure an even faster move by Hispanic Americans to the Republican party. Keep it up Howard.

and he pledged that his party will no longer take its supporters for granted.

Hmmmmm ... So he admits they have been using minorities all these years huh?

Yes. I noticed that too. :o)))

Dean downplayed the successes of the GOP in wooing traditionally Democratic voters, pointing to President Bush’s recent nomination of Judge John Roberts for the U.S. Supreme Court justice.

So Dean thinks nominating a Roman Catholic to the Supreme Court will anger Hispanics? He's taking crazy pills again.

the former Vermont governor joined local Democrats in a chant of "Sí, se puede," or "Yes, it can be done,"

I've heard that the Gipper had a sign on his desk in the oval office that said "It can be done".
If Howie only knew.

< We think most people who are Republicans don’t really want to be Republicans >

Oh my God! They can even read minds.

/sarcasm

[republicofdavis]

"Judge Roberts, who appears to be against voting rights."

What's this about? Not a smear point I've heard yet.

[Dane]

Howard Dean's worst nightmare.

[Mo1]

He's taking crazy pills again.

Good Bye

As a Chef in Texas where most of the kitchen staff is hispanic, it has been my observation that this will be an uphill battle for the rats. The sticking point in most of my hispanic friends craw(about Republicans) is the perception that the G.O.P. is anti-hispanic. I disagree with that, but it needs to be addressed. I for one am not opposed to a guest worker program or allowing Mexicans to come here(Legally!) and provide a better life for themselves and their families. I would also support a grandfathered visa program to allow those who are here to stay and be documented. That's my two cents, Now flame Away!!LOL!

You make some valid points in your post. You'll get no guff from me. Keep cookin' great Texas food and we'll keep enjoying it :o)

"It’s just so refreshing that someone who thinks like me is running the Democratic Party," he said. "I don’t like what the (Republican) senators from Texas are doing. They’ve got their priorities all wrong. I don’t like where the country is headed. We should be focusing more on domestic issues instead of the war in Iraq."

Sounds like something I might have said when I was 18. In fact, I worked for the McGovern campaign. It didn't hurt that I was awarded extra credit in my civics class (my teacher was the local leader for McGovern).

When I visited after college, and I was a 2nd Lieutenant, he was still lost in the 60's, and he seemed disappointed that I was in the service.

I get the feeling that the young man who made the above statement will be a potential Freeper in a few years.

[Reaganesque]

Why does this sound very much like "why, some of my best friends are Hispanic?"
