Can't wait to hear more of this silver-tongued smoothy in the debates.
Should be fun.

Hey Cruz, can you say Arnold's last name for us??? ;)

""Is this how he plans to build bridges between our communities?"
Classic liberal speak.
Mecha used the word all the time- they hated blacks. He will not denounce mecha in any way. The conclusion is he at least hated blacks, even if in the past.

LOL! Yeh Cruz, I dare ya!

"It's not the way I was raised, it's not the way I was taught, it's not the way I raise my children, and it's not what's in my heart." Sure Cruz..... that's why you associate with groups like "The Race" and MEChA which are very racist hate groups.

Old story.
Only those who should care don't; they'll vote for him anyway.

You know, that just isn't a word that rolls of my tongue like it apparently does for Cruz. It is a very hard word for me to say and I would be very, very conscious of using it.

Is the author kidding? The left would crucify any Republican who dared EVEN use the word "negro" as used at the beginning of this article.
If the "n" word were used by a republican (and not by Robert Byrd or Bustamante), I'm convinced they'd be charged with a "hate" crime, prosecuted, and imprisoned.
And I'm serious.

Look what happened to the guy who used the word "nigardly" in a sentence. He was kicked out of office!

Oh I do things like that all of the time. Lots of times I mean to say Mexico but it comes out as Wetbacklandia.slip of the tongue.

For many years I've pronounced the word "Messico".
Now I can't help it; that's just the way it comes out.
Kind of like GWB when he says "nucular".

"You know, that just isn't a word that rolls of my tongue like it apparently does for Cruz. It is a very hard word for me to say and I would be very, very conscious of using it." Sometimes, when you're trying not to say something, it's in the front of you're mind, and it just pops out (e.g. don't mention the hooker...don't mention the hooker...don't mention the hooker "Hi honey, I just talked to a hooker!" Dammit!) But in this case why should it have been in his mind at all at that time, unless it's a word he thinks of when he's around black people or sees the word 'negro'.
It reminds me a little of when that TV station misspelled the name Niger Ellis on air - but that seemed genuinely a mistake while this really tells us something about Bustamente.

It wasn't his fault. They shouldn't not have named the union what they did, with such a tricky, easy to mispronounce word in it. He should sue.
