You can give me a line of excuses on why the National GOP Committee who dole out dollars for Congressional Candidates did not back my Candidacy for the Illinois 5th Congressional district (Rahm Emmanuel's seat Special Election). I have been a Republican all my life and I have been very involved with elections.
But the most important fact about this discussion is that I am of Mexican Decent.
I am a HISPANIC "hear me roar"
I am hardworking (At least that is what they say about illegal aliens) and I am a Christian. (Which they argue how good that is for the country as least when they tag it on to illegal aliens)
The GOP usually has their obligatory WE MUST REACH OUT TO BLACKS AND HISPANICS rhetoric which I hear OVER AND OVER AND OVER. When I attend meetings in Illinois all I ever see is White guys endorsing white guys in ties and suits that look like they are getting ready to make their First Holy Communion. Cookie cutter white guys, the beat goes on.
The Republican Party has no intention of reaching out to Hispanics. The only Hispanics they want are illegal aliens who provide cheap labor for the Corporations. Then the Corporations can make big campaign contributions to the little white guys in suits and ties I always see at GOP meetings.
The National Republican Congressional Committee even place ROBO Calls into the Illinois 5th Congresional District asking Republicans if they were voting for me and then tried to raise money on my back, without ever donating one red cent to my Campaign. Great Character they display Right?
Now I see a FABULOUS HISPANIC CONSERVATIVE running for Senate in Floria and the Republican Nation Party is throwing him under the bus.
Javier Manjarres of the Conservative Republican Alliance interviews the former Florida House Speaker whose 2010 Senate campaign has sparked a grassroots uprising against the GOP elite:

The National Republican Party has lost it's way. Maybe they are not rejecting us because we are Hispanic, maybe it is because they have no use for Conservatives.
I was hopeful when I read about what is going on in Florida as we speak:
"A Republican backlash is brewing against the state and national party as they anoint Gov. Charlie Crist's U.S. Senate campaign -- thereby dissing that of his rival, former state House Speaker Marco Rubio."
Now there is also a group who is doing the right thing, namely: Not one penny to the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC)
No, Actually, I am billed as one who fights for veterans, and am outspoken about the way wounded veterans are treated in Illinois. I appreciate those who have given service to our country, But since you did not do your homework, you would not know that.
You did NOT put your pearls infront of me, I DID MY HOMEWORK.
I’ve read many threads over the last several months about your candidacy and was quite hopeful until this thread.
Your bitterness alone soured me on you.
Some people would have realized how badly they portrayed themselves with their own words...you mocked and insulted those who rightly pointed out your reliance on ethnicity and victimhood as well as your own bitterly bigoted words.
You didn’t. You don’t have the humility to serve the voter’s interest; you’re in this for yourself first and foremost.
I’m done. I’ll probably read with some amusement your mocking reply, but I’m done.
Great post! We do need to reach out to everyone with a conservative message that is consistent and not diluted and then let everyone no matter who pick and chose who they want leading the country.
Leran HOW TO READ and stop LYING. You would make a great DEMOCRAT!
I know your idol Saul Alinsky would be proud if he could see you now! You can’t read and can’t admit your mistake, sorry tough guy.
Hate to be wrong? No Humility? You are a joke. Your bitterness has soured me.
Yup ~ Rahm, Obama and Blagoyevich ALL THREE represented that district. It’s pretty hardcore mind-numbed, robot-like, knee-jerk Leftwingtard country ~ they had Rostenkowski for a while ~ remember the guy the old people attacked, and who was found to have hundreds of chairs stolen from the US Capitol in his basement?
you must learn to play nicely with others ;^)
btt
In Illinois, Denny Hastert’s district had the opportunity to elect a great Hispanic conservative, Chris Lauzen. But the IL RINOs along with Denny Hastert backed a proven loser in Jim Oberweis spend $3 million to distort Lauzen’s record, only to lose a reliable GOP district to a Dem.
