Dems Pick Villaraigosa to Rebut State of Union, in Spanish

Are we in occupied territory or something?

[no-to-illegals]

yes

the numbers is all they are looking for.
we are giving them the logistics, for setting us up.
national security? (gulp)

[EternalVigilance]

Are we in occupied territory or something?

Many are starting to wonder.

[NativeNewYorker]

It's only fair. Osama gave the Arab-language rebuttal already.

[no-to-illegals]

then "zir coward ee" read poetry, wonder what that was all about?

[hsalaw]

This is America and English is spoken here. The dems know they are losing their death-grip on blacks, so this is their attempt to create a new "plantation" - for Hispanics. Let 'em speak keep speaking Spanish and never, ever get ahead by themselves.

[lowbridge]

Are we in occupied territory or something?

What with tens of millions of illegals, pretty much, yeah.

[FairOpinion]

I am sure all those running around bashing Riordan -- a previous great mayor of LA -- as RINO, RINO, are now very happy with Villaraigosa. Also, obviously he has higher ambitions, governor of CA comes to mind as next step and use that as springboard for the presidency.

Villaraigosa got elected, because as usual, the conservatives are "too pure" to bother to vote. In the previous election they couldn't vote for the candidate supported by Riordan, so we got Hahn and then Villaraigosa. Of course, maybe this was what they really wanted.

I am sure they'll be happier with Villaraigosa, Angelides or Al Gore as CA governors, than they are with Arnold.

[NormsRevenge]

LOL,, FO,, You're on Rairdon's horse tonite? lolol

[caffe]

We must give the Dems. overwhelming defeats in 06!

[Petronski]

The article gives the time of the speech, but not the DAY. Hello!?! McFly!?!

[Mygirlsmom]

How long of a rebuttal can it be? Saying "Bush es el-stupdio" won't take very long.

[harpo11]

Oh my, maybe Senator Teddie Kennedy should deliver rebuttal in drunken stuporish.

But, but, but, YOU SAID THAT ELECTING MODERATES WAS AN INCREMENTAL STEP TOWARD ELECTING CONSERVATIVES!!! It didn't work that way, FO, because RINOs maintain liberal policies that manufacture more Democrats.

Lessee... Christopher was the last Republican mayor of San Franpsycho, Davis follows Wilson, Villaraigosa follows Riordan and Hahn, Democrats ran San Diego into the ground after Wilson... no pattern there! By contrast, after Pat Brown there was Reagan and after Jerry Brown came the Duke. Conservatives follow liberals because the public is desperate to clean up the mess the liberals make. When the "moderates" make a mess (as their liberal policies must) people elect liberals to "fix it," except that they make it worse. See?

OTOH, it was the corruption endemic to RINOs that was the principal reason Hahn was booted. Let that be a warning to you, FO, because at the rate he's going, Arnold isn't far behind no matter what conservatives do.

BTW, you DO know that one of the reasons the Power Crisis was so expensive is that Riordan's boys at the DWP were gouging the State worse than any private company? Such an honest "moderate," (NOT).

Villaraigosa got elected, because as usual, the conservatives are "too pure" to bother to vote.

Villaraigosa got elected, because Hahn got caught red handed. To posit that conservatives were the difference belies the enormous margin by which Tony MeChA won.

In the previous election they couldn't vote for the candidate supported by Riordan, so we got Hahn and then Villaraigosa. Of course, maybe this was what they really wanted.

Is this some kind of twisted bedtime fantasy of yours?

Sheesh.

[seastay]

What do they want from this votes? Studies show that more than half who speak Spanish are not even citizens, so they are not supposed to be voting, unless the dems have other plans, but that could be a wasted effort, because "about two-thirds of illegal aliens lack a high school diploma" or if they are after the mayors LA vote, 53 percent of the city’s adult population—3.8 million people—are functionally illiterate, so none of these people are going to ever be able to read a ballot anyhow. Yet the dems will still try, even dead people can’t read and that has never stopped them before.

Huh? Are you makin' this up on the fly?
Riordan supported Villaraigosa in 2001 and 2005.

[Carry_Okie]

Riordan supported Villaraigosa in 2001 and 2005.

Confirming yet again, that a RINO would rather see a leftist elected than a conservative, as both Bill Simon and Tom McClintock can attest.

There was a time when folks were fooled.
There was a time when partisans were believed
The former relied on a rebutable presumption, the later on a plausible denial.
Monday an old man challenged the CAGOP to show some spine.
Yesterday the Austrian thumbed his nose at party.
Today, neither excuse is available to the shill.
God rest ye merry gentleman.
But your effort is wasted.
The threat has gone.
FO has been reduced to the specter of principles lost.

"We are proud to have Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa delivering the Spanish language response this year," Reid and Pelosi said in a joint statement issued in both languages."

The Mayor who has presided over LA moving up to become the Murder Capitol of the U.S...and they're...mmm...proud.
