Hispanic lawmakers unhappy with Charlotte contracts (heated words exchanged about RAT convention)

Hispanic lawmakers unhappy with Charlotte contracts
By ANNA PALMER | 8/3/12 1:20 PM EDT

Hispanic lawmakers are peeved at the Democratic National Convention Committee for not hiring more Latino-owned businesses for next month’s convention.

Upset over the lack of contracts, Hispanic lawmakers exchanged heated words Wednesday with a top DNCC official in a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill. Afterward, Rep. Joe Baca (D-Calif.) suggested that DNCC Chief Executive Steve Kerrigan should be fired if things don’t improve.

If the situation isn’t rectified, “there will be a recommendation that the person who is in charge will not be in charge,” Baca told POLITICO.

The DNCC says it’s made minority contracting a big priority for the Charlotte, N.C., convention, but Hispanic lawmakers believe there should be more Latino-owned businesses getting a cut of the money. It’s unclear how many contracts the DNCC has awarded to minorities because the committee doesn’t publicly release that information.

This goes to show that the race/ethinic priorities of liberals are the prime concern - not for America as a country.

Are Latinos really so stupid that they can’t see that democrats could give a rat’s behind about them? They are only useful idots to get votes when it comes to obama and his team.

Yes eating their own but they won’t stop just with the DNC.

Actually, the Hispanic-owned businesses are being set up.

The ploy works like this.

They agitate for more “contracts”. The DNC insiders figure out what and how much free stuff they want. Then they make a big show of hiring Hispanic-owned companies to provide the goodies. Contracts are signed, accounts are set up, kickbacks are made. The loud-mouth agitators and race-baiters are pacified (and paid off) and so they shut up. The Hispanic-owned companies provide lots of labor, goods and services. The convention comes to town, restaurants and hotels are (mostly) full, prostitutes trucked in from Democrat strongholds are raking in the dough, drug dealers handle all of the orders that they can fill, and life is “good”.

Then the convention ends, the party is over, and all of those Hispanic-owned companies submit their bills to the DNC. And then they wait. And wait. And wait. But the bills are not being paid off. Because Obama is not raising enough money, or the money has to go to fill more urgent needs (more payoffs, more prostitutes). So all of those Hispanic-owned companies who were so happy to get the ‘contracts’ end up having to eat the losses.

But, you see, it was all done for “the cause”, comrade.

Suckers. All of them.

At one point in my life I was involved in political direct marketing. Democrats on the whole were notorious for not paying their bills. If you wanted to get paid it was 50% up front, COD, no terms.

It sure would be fun if the RNC produced a Spanish-language ad telling Hispanics to “call (so and so) and tell him to hire more Hispanic companies”.

Never happen, but fun.

Oh, but LIBs/RATs are soooo caring of minorities. Hypocrites.

If they weren’t so busy advocating genocide of babies and stuffing their pockets with illegal contributions, they might just see what they’re doing.

And stupid minorities keep voting for them.

If the GOP had any guts, which they don’t, they’d be all over any illegals the RATS hire.

During his last presidential run, Al Sharpton came to Dallas with a posse, stayed at the exclusive Mansion and enjoyed all that this fine hotel can offer.

Left never paying the bill, reputed to be $19000 for two nights.

I understand that Texas democrats convinced the hotel to write it off ... long after the political reporting season was over.
