Nothing like sucking up early, I say. 🙂
seriously…
The amazing thing here is that it took something as unbelievably stupid as Cains’ comments to get them to realize the path they were on was likely to cost them in the general. I guess it’s just that fear suppresses reason.
They have been exercising the suspension of disbelief for so long, they have lost touch with reality. I guess a better way of putting it is that …when you intentionally believe a lie, it stops becoming a lie after awhile.
The republicans in our part of the world focus on believing whatever the people at the top of their party believe. They are good little soldiers and seldom get in the face of a colleague,(unless it is for personal gain), and NEVER question the party line. Democrats…not so much.
I think, with a few exceptions, that pattern is ubiquitous.
But he’s going to get his ass chewed for that quote. Ramirez not so much.
Yes. I believe it’s been resolved, but it was not cricket to air these grievances in the nation’s leading liberal newspaper. It would be like me doing that on Daily Kos.
I respect Call and the New York Times reporting. If you won’t be quoted on Daily Kos, then why are you on CPols?
the myth of being an inclusionary party for long — they just can’t fake it for the long haul. Periodically, a few of them wake up and realize that they could help themselves if they made efforts to reach out to the Latino community, but it never lasts long because it’s not genuine. They truly are the party of WASPs, and as the proportion of WASPs declines over time in the U.S. the GOP will become a permanent minority party.
demonize non-Cuban Hispanics, with the fig leaf of “just the illegals” attached in the face of the growing legal citizen voter Hispanic demographic, especially here in the west, home of Hispanic communities that predate the US with families that lived here before the US existed, without paying a price in the not very distant future.
Tancredo has never made any secret of the fact that he opposes legal Mexican immigration as well and openly plays on culture based hysteria ( We’re being over-run by Mexican who will change our fantasy Leave it to Beaver world, oh my) so getting on his band wagon will prove extremely short sighted.
Laws they push will increasingly lead to the harassment of citizens of non-Cuban Hispanic origin or heritage who will be stopped on suspicion, asked to produce papers, possibly detained while their children come home to an empty house, maybe after being taunted at school by bullies telling American born kids who don’t even speak Spanish to go back to Mexico, all because of appearance, surname or accent.
The old tactic of trying to spread their appeal to Hispanics via social conservative wedge issues will fall far short in the face of the hostility engendered by the constant attacks meant to appeal to a shrinking, dying base. Those issues may have moved many Hispanics to vote for a Hispanic friendly GW and other Republican candidates of his day but non-Cuban Hispanic friendly GO(T)P candidates are no longer welcome and it’s hard to see how they turn that around in the near future.
He did push for the Guest Worker Program, something that would be grounds for excommunication with the current GOP and Tea Party
he’s pretty much dead to today’s GO(T)P.
(in reference to Ramirez voting against allowing undocumented immigrants to receive in-state tuition)
Ramirez is just as guilty in participating in the witchhunt against immigrants, as any other anti-immigrant politician is
Let us not forget that the Founding Fathers never wrote a Constitution that was anti-immigrant, rather, they always left the laws to be in the hands of the modern leaders – the first political leader who truly introduced caps against immigration (and immigrants) was Republican Congressman Albert Johnson in the 1920s, a man who headed a Eugenics group that would eventually be footnoted by Adolph Hitler, in his argument for why certain people needed to be killed in order for society to advance
It is upsetting to see Ramirez walk the path of Albert Johnson, rather than the path of a Republican hero like Ronald Reagan, who supported amnesty for all immigrants
There is nothing MORE DAMAGING for minorities (and immigrants) than minorities who are against immigrants – and no matter how much Ramirez supports legislation that keeps America white, he will NEVER be able to become white, himself
I regret that I gave $200 to Robert Ramirez in 2010 and to all the immigrants in Colorado – I AM SORRY
If there is anything that can redeem me though, I gave Ramirez $200 in the hope that he could be someone that could turn the Colorado GOP into a group that fashioned itself more after Ronald Reagan, not Albert Johnson
I was wrong
if they had shut down immigration 200 years ago? Split between Canada and Mexico perhaps? Maybe France would have a piece?
Too true!
Very useful for me Thanks.
