During his recent HBO special, "Tall, Dark and Chicano," comedian George Lopez tore a hole in the Big Tent. Incensed that 31 Senate Republicans had voted against Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court, Lopez informed the GOP that it would never again get the votes of Latinos.
In fact, he said, given changing demographics, Republicans might as well get used to losing in the years to come because "you won't win a . . . pie-eating contest."
That's harsh, but fair. Republicans know not what they did. They're only fooling themselves if they think they won't pay a price for their petty opposition to the nation's first Latina justice.
Remember when Republicans used to say that people should take responsibility for their actions? Never mind. They didn't mean it. Not when it comes to Senate Republicans trying to dodge responsibility for voting against Sotomayor.
They might be able to stand behind their votes if they weren't afraid that they were standing on quicksand. They're terrified that Hispanics will be sore winners and take retribution at the ballot box — starting in 2010 and possibly lasting for decades.
In fact, Republicans are so desperate to avoid incurring the wrath of one of the fastest growing parts of the electorate that they've pulled a page from the Democrats' playbook.

Like we even care. Why should someone vote for someone JUST because of their race when they disagree with her ideology?
Okay, how many times can you lose something you supposedly already lost?
Absolutely. Of course, they should not vote for someone simply because of their race.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass
Bull Puckey! A person’s heritage is NO reason to elevate them into the Supreme Court; no more than it’s a reason to keep them off the court.
I’m sick to death of these gasbag LibTards continuing to play a race card EVERY time someone of principle takes a stand against someone who is in one of their ‘victimized’ groups...gays, Latinos, blacks, Asians, whatever. The simple truth is that Sotomayor is NOT suited to be on the Supreme Court and she will quickly prove the point. Her judicial philosophy is at odds with the foundational principles of the American legal system.
It’s time to take back the country.
I say we repurpose the word “racist”, shall we?!
From now on, say things like, “That apple pie was so racist! Yum!”, “That Ford GTO is hella racist, man! YEAH!”. “The Seahawks are so racist, Bro. I can’t believe he caught that racist pass for the win! Alright!”
What do you think? Are you game?
I’m getting racist tired of this *hit.
George Lopez certainly wouldn’t! Put a conservative hispanic up and let’s see the venom George will spew his way. Same with the black Democrat leadership and their treatment of Janice Rogers Brown. AARP doesn’t care about retirees. NOW doesn’t care about women. The NAACP doesn’t care about blacks. They all care about LIBERALS.
This is Democrap trash-talk.
Now, if they want to start a culture war, all-out, and be seen discriminating against whites and calling them names in Spanish (look up gabacho in a Spanish slang dictionary), then fine, bring it. We'll see how things shake out.
In Florida, where the Cubans vote GOP since the Bay of Pigs, and a little bit in Texas, where the GOP gets a split of the Central American and South American vote.
This is Mexican trash talk. They want to immigrate to the States and bring the PRI and PRD with them and lean on gueros and disrespect us. Uh-uh.
Jorge, you should do some research and look at the memos from Ted Kennedy where he personally and clearly opposed the nomination of Bush's hispanic judicial nominees BECAUSE they were hispanic.
PS. Ted Kennedy is a Democrat. And a bigot.
I have a dream that one day, people will identify themselves NOT by the color of their skin but by...
Your comment reminded me of this:
“Thus the utopia of multiculturalism involves a bureaucratic class presiding over a nation divided into a variety of ethnic nationalities. That, of course, looks awfully like the old Soviet Union.”
— Lady Margaret Thatcher
See ya later Jorge!
Give the Chicken Dix a hug for me!
Ruben has been spewing his racist crap in the San Diego Union Tribune for years!
That bitch should have been rejected on her membership in La Raza alone.
Excuse me?
Sounds like Mr Lopez aspires to be the same.
Did this simple pantload Navarrette write about his rats kissing off a constituency when they torpedoed Miguel Estrada? That’s what I thought.... Navarrette is just another scumbag hypocrite. Surprise, surprise. (yawn)
