oh, and we’ll repeat, as we’ve done so now and then for the past 8 years or so, that conservatives could had them. but republicans couldn’t be seen with ‘em.

You don't suppose those other guys capitalized properly and that made the difference?

I have a hispanic friend that feels we do not need a fence on the boarder. Just a better armed boarder patrol.

Would anyone like to tell the “Latino Community” that the dems have overwhelming majorties in both the house and senate now and if they haven’t fixed immigration it’s because they are laughing at the idiots who think electing more of them will help.

“amazing how they got all the jobs and white boys like me were called out looking.”

What makes you think you ‘white boys’ were most qualified?

not sure I follow you, but if you mean do I feel I've been "gamed," yes I do. Just how much is due to intent and how much is due to arrogance and bad judgment, I can't say, but I lean toward the latter.

I'd be a fool to attempt a serious answer at such an ambiguous question.

At the same time, one would have to be a fool to doubt the presumption you question.

Duh.

maybe you’ll be enlightened by an old tagline of mine, which I retag here for your benefit.

Allow me to clarify.

The first word of any sentence is capitalized.

These other folks may have capitalized properly while you did not.

The other folks could be savages from Borneo but if they can
write properly they would be hired before someone who cannot.

Consider the source of this: Frank Sharry, biggest open borders whore in Washington, DC and someone from La Raza who bases her political choices on race (raza.) I could have told you want they were going to say without reading the story. The Washington Post no longer even pretends to be evenhanded. How stupid do they think we are?

I'm having a harder time giving you the benefit of the doubt, Einstein, but if you're implying there's a fitness issue on this end of the keyboard versus the preferred hires who can barely speak English and whose credentials are largely manufactured, except in those jobs where the only credential is being able to breath, and then it's plain and simple a buyer's market -- I mean, what the fvck? -- I think that rattle you feel is my laughter.

Now get back into your cave.

I hire four or five people a month and and never have considered race or ethnicity of the applicants. The most qualified gets hired and I don’t care if they are white, brown, yellow, blue or red.

No Affirmative Action in my field.

However, the only trends I do see is that a much larger percentage of the qualified applicants with college degrees tend to be female and or South and East Asian.

And when it comes to salary, we find that white males tend to overestimate the salary that they deserve while those other groups have a better grasp on what their actual skill sets are worth in the market place.

If the Republicans and Tea Party leadership were savvy they’d make a Spanish commercial that said:

“If you vote for the Democrat’s freebies,you’ll assist in destroying this country and making it no better than where you came from; you have a chance to make this country great with you as part of it; you work hard and the companies you work for your pay, and your employer pays you and has to pay taxes; you vote for Democrats and you won’t have a job.”

Something like that is a winner.
