Harry Reid doesn't speak for all Latinos
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | August 16, 2010 | Ruben Navarrette

Posted on 08/16/2010 6:26:31 AM PDT by george76

I was glad to hear that the Senate majority leader is willing to relieve me and every other Latino in the United States of the crushing burden of having to think for ourselves and make our own political decisions. Reid is kindly offering to do all the heavy lifting for America's largest minority and decide whether we should vote Republican or Democrat.

And, to make things easier, as far as the Nevada Democrat is concerned, there is only one choice for Latinos. Guess who?

The Democratic leader of the Senate is trying to win re-election by courting Latinos in his home state...

nothing will happen until the Senate majority leader is mercifully sent into retirement.

Harry Reid can wonder all he wants about why any Hispanic could be a Republican. I've been wondering something myself: In light of such flagrant condescension and an obvious lack of regard, why would any self-respecting Hispanic - in Nevada or anywhere else - support Harry Reid?

I’m glad somebody is finally speaking out on behalf of minority voters. How much longer are they going to tolerate being abused by the democrats?

He will be labeled just another ‘Tio Tomas’.

Reid, just doing the thinking most American Hispanics won’t do! LOL
Conversely, Mr. Reid, I can’t understand how YOU can be a Mormon!

Somebody ought to mention that in 1993, Reid sponsored legislation to NOT grant citizenship to children born in the U.S. to illegal alien parents.

* thought Ruben Navarrette was a lefty?*

It just shows to go ya that even the Left can recognize a glaring example of BS when it's insulting to everyone’s intelligence

Hey Reuben:

What is even sadder is that if you are a Democrat, you have no idea what their history is regarding the races!

I wonder if Harry Reid's comments pissed off a whole heck of a lot more Hispanics than we realize. Anybody?

I still say that the Angle Campaign is missing a golden opportunity if they don’t make a Radio and TV ad of....

“Harry; in his own words”. The ad could show all of his stupid comments like: The one about Hispanics, “This war is lost”, visitors to the White House have an odor.....etc., etc., etc.

Yes he insulted and degraded hispanics. Not all hispanics need to be won by waving a ‘carrot’ as they are capable of growing their own. And plenty of them and others know what is like to go hungry waiting for the promised carrot.
