Rove: Hispanics are `real Americans'
SF Gate ^ | July 11, 2006 | MICHAEL R. BLOOD

Posted on 07/11/2006 5:24:30 PM PDT by managusta

White House political strategist Karl Rove said Tuesday that the highly charged immigration debate has "clouded" the views of some Americans, leading them to dismiss the importance of immigrants and their contribution to the nation's success.

"Everything that this country is, everything that we have achieved, everything that we hold, everything that we promise, is because we are a nation of diversity, brought together by immigration, and sharing a common dream," Rove told members of the nation's largest Hispanic civil rights group, the National Council of La Raza.

Rove ticked off enforcement elements of the president's proposal, but added, "All these measures will come to naught without a temporary worker program. ... It's not enough to say send them home."

He also warned that critics against were confusing the debate with catchwords, rather than solutions.

"Too many simplify the problem into one word, "amnesty," Rove said. "In an issue this vital, we cannot allow words to be misused."

Sounds like a product of "new" history to me... now we have new English, new Math and, it appears, new History. What next? The dumbing down of America -- that's how the elite try to take over.

Which race exactly did I denigrate, since it was a racist comment?

Unborn babies are "real Americans," too, but when was the last time you heard Karl Rove say anything about that? But, of course, they can't vote.

Rove--

A majority of conservatives, and quite possibly a majority of the rest of America find your sell-out pro-criminal anti-American spew really revolting. You seek to end America as we know it. Why do you despise this culture, and this country, and our values so deeply? Would it be fair to label you nothing more dignified than a cheap vote chasing whore that places your power above the sovereign best interest of this nation?

Awaiting your response, MR ROVE.

Karl Rove and his ventriloquist dummy, George W. Bush, are a couple of lying sacks of sh-t. I hope the Democrats take over in November so they can impeach that traitor, Bush. The Republicans are loyal only to the cheap labor lobby and could care less if middle class Americans have to pay more and more taxes to accomodate illegal aliens and their huge families.

"Are you talking about the American Indians or the Spanish?"

Spanish. There were scores of families with Spanish roots in present-day America way before there was a United States of America.

As HispanaRepublicana says, US borders crossed over my family, not the other way around.

Disclaimer: I don't subscribe to La Raza nor have anything to do with it. Don't need to.

And...gotta run.

You may be surprised how many people who normally pull the R lever just dont bother to show up. I could be wrong, however, I think it's a very good possibility.

Rove: Hispanics are `real Americans'

Of course they are. Mexicans are not... they are from Mexico...

Hold on Karl.... if they're real Americans how come they were in the streets waiving mexican flags? Did I miss something? And Mr Rove, while we're on the subject why would you address a group who's name translated means "The Race"? Will you be addressing the KKK next?

This level of pandering is so pathetic, I'm surprised they haven't started calling illegal immigrants "pre-legal citizens"

"In an issue this vital, we cannot allow words to be misused."

But Karl Rove had his sock puppet, Bush, describe the bill as a "guest worker program," which it is not, as the "guests" would be illegals who are already here.

LEGAL or ILLEGAL? Answer the question. Or are you a willing participant in the invasion and Reconquista?

The Spanish were not Mexican, they came here from Europe the same as my relatives came in the 1600's form England and were met by more of my relatives who were American indians...

LOL! It's a shame you get your blood pressure up on this immigration/illegal matter.

Picture those people drinking a few Coronas right now, watching the Latino all-stars play ball tonight. The best of the best. Majority Hispanic.

I hope that doesn't give you a coronary, buc. ;^)

I hope they're smiling while their kids are playing at their feet and thinking, Caramba...What a Country!!!
