Facts! Why you post facts?!
Zero’s dad was British subject and citizen of Kenya of the Luo tribe. His mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, is white and was born in Wichita, Kansas. So, does Bill Richardson have a thought about Zer0’s race? Or does race follow paternity?
“Does Richardson sound Hispanic to you?”
Yes, he’s Hispanic. He supports “immigration reform” or something.
Mia Love takes the cake though....she is not really female nor is she black...apparently....don't break the news to her....
Just for sheets and geegles.
If Obama’s black, Cruz is Hispanic.
Good question since Cruz is am American and not Canadian.
Okay --- some guy named "Richardson" is saying that the guy named "Cruz" shouldn't be defined as "Hispanic"? Wow.
In the mold of Ken Salazar, slimeball.
There is no such thing as a Hispanic. There are completely different ethnic, racial, cultural and national groups that were once part of the Spanish colonial empire.
Soo true.. total slimeball... Cruz’s politics do not have to represent Hispanics in general... and secondly, someone’s politics, or views are not what determines someone’s ethnicity... Richardson is a jackass...
not be part of, I think, the civility that is really needed

Democrats used to say the same about Gingrich when he was in the minority.
Democrats want peace because they control 95% of the establishment (the government and press). Gingrich’s impolity created a spirit of revolt to succeed. Cruz appears to be doing the same.
In his mind, Hispanic =~ Liberal
Gov. Richardson is 50 percent hispanic American (each of his parents being one-half hispanic American origin and one-half European origin).
Sen. Cruz is 50 percent hispanic American (one parent being hispanic and the other of European origin).
This is the pot calling the kettle black.
Your point about the diverse culture that our government lumps together as “hispanic”:
You are indeed correct. What is kind of amazing is how cohesive the black community is, given its size. The so-called hispanic community is, as you point out, several identifiable groups. Same thing with the much smaller statistical group of Asians. Even the American Indians aren’t very cohesive.
Being realistic, we’re not going to win a lot of votes just because we nominate an hispanic. Maybe a few. Maybe we’ll get 40 percent instead of 30. It’s a factor to be considered, but there are many other factors.
Over time, we should fetch a growing percentage, regardless of whom we nominate, just because of their ascending the economic ladder. Same thing that happened in the past with the white ethnics (Italians, Poles, Irish and so forth). Nowadays, we don’t even distinguish white ethnics in polls (except indirectly by talking about Catholics).
Do Dems have plantations for Hispanics? Cruz has obviously wandered off the path.
Stunning how casually lefties like Richardson can unperson someone.
Maybe he's an Injun.
Ahahahaha. :)
Have to agree, let’s label him and everyone like him as American.
Pray for America to Wake Up
