Law abiding Conservative Hispanic ! The kind America needs!
we don’t. I reject the premise.
We do not like people (all people) who have no diregard for our laws. Including our representatives. we do not like people who enter our country illegally, no matter where they are from.
Going out on a limb, but I would say it is because the incumbent Governor of Florida is more likely to win than you.
No sorry. We need to quit categorizing people and start treating everyone equal. And you prove why it is wrong. Your feelings are hurt because your special group was not honored by special treatment. Instead you should want to complete as a equal with anyone else who would chose to run for office.
You can reject the premise, the facts remain, 2 Conservative Hispanics get thrown under the bus for little white guys.
Cookie cutter white guys, the beat goes on.
Well your bile is showing...........
Whatever the validity of your complaints, hate is the wrong word to use. To find actual hate you need only look across the aisle at the Democrat party.
I hope Rubio gets the nom. Steele hasn’t bent over for Crist yet.
ABSOLUTELY!! But WHY would they throw a CONSERVATIVE HISPANIC the likes of RUBIO under the BUS??
THE HOUSE OF HATE: NATIONAL GOP
Bingo! The RNC doesn't care much for conservatives of any ethnicity/color/gender.
As for Chicago lady they didn’t back you because you were a member of the American Independence Party that nuthouse run by Alan Keyes. I think they didn’t back you not because of your race but because of your mental state.
Because they want to win?
Correctamundo! That's why I am no longer a Republican.
We need to hew to our core values and principles. That includes removing law-breakers who ignore our immigration laws. Since most of those law-breakers are from Mexico and Latin America, the broad brush of “excludes Hispanics” is applied to the GOP (although Jorge Bush was in favor of amnesty and line jumpers).
Conservatives embraces all who follow its principles no matter what race. Sadly, the GOP hasn’t been Conservative for 20 years.
Shouldn’t you also be asking why the GOP hates Apple Pie, children, the environment, motherhood and the 4th of July.
What in your view would constitute “reaching out” to Hispanics? Do you mean that you want the Republican Party to run Hispanic candidates? They’re pretty hard to find. And the problem, of course, is that the traditional Republican message of self-sufficiency is not one that poor people particularly want to hear.
Yeah...like there was a real chance you were going to win Rahm Emmanuel’s seat. So when the GOP wisely decided NOT to waste money on a losing campaign, instead of accepting the logic, you played the race card. Sad actually.
You’re arriving at the wrong conclusion because you’re looking at things through the prism of race. Look at it through the prism of RINOs trying to elect more RINOs.
Keep in mind that the incumbent retiring Senator in the case of Crist/Rubio is Mel Martinez, a Hispanic.
