While campaigning in Nevada Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told an audience of mostly Hispanic voters: "I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican, okay. Do I need to say more?" Watch the video here:(snip)
Reid's racially-charged comments come as the Nevada Democrat is trying to boost Hispanic turnout in his bid for reelection this November. Polls show, however, that Reid's positions on immigration are very unpopular with Nevada voters in general. Reid supports the Obama administration's lawsuit against Arizona over its immigration law, but 63 percent of Nevada voters oppose the lawsuit, according to a Rasmussen poll.
Reid voted against a measure to complete a 700-mile fence along the Mexican border in May, but 68 percent of voters nationally support building a border fence, according to Rasmussen.

That’s a sad irony. Two groups which are overwhelmingly pro-life—Southern blacks and Hispanic Americans in general—vote heavily or overwhelmingly Democrat, and thus contribute to the endless slaughter of the unborn.

Senator Reid, You can keep the sleazy mexican scum. Hispanics from real countries have known your type and want nothing more to do with you or your real agenda.

I’d love to introduce Harry to our local tea party leader. She’s from a Puerto Rican background. As is my husband. They are Americans first and pro life. There are a lot of us out here Harry. He keeps confusing Americans of Hispanic descent with illegals.

And I don’t know how anyone with half a brain could vote Democrat.

Thats no shocker...Reid is an idiot...he doesnt really know anything.
Identity Politics has been stampeding large segments of the American voting public into the arms of the Democrat Party for 50 years now.
Reid isn't an idiot. He's just using the same playbook that gave his party a 90%+ take of the Black vote and the "gender gap".

If the foreign occupier grants amnesty to millions of invaders and they vote, we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
WAKE UP AMERICA
WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' PAPERS The Obama cult - It's hard to compete with a party that gives away the treasury.

This no-mind Ruler is a panty-waste. If ANYONE on the conservative side had said anything even remotely like this their kiester would be on a Denny’s Grand-Slam Breakfast plate. Although, this might just tick off some of the Hispanic population who see through this charade.......

Well let see if they favored a balanced budgets, limited ethical government and 4% unemployment they might favor the Republicans

And the nation doesn’t know how Nevadans can be so ignorant as to elect someone as pathetic as Reid to represent them in the Senate. He must be winning by stuffing the ballot box in minority districts.

Al Franken is a MEAN IDIOT....Reid is CREEPY, like he is the result of COUSINS marrying.

The Democratic party is reduced to nothing more than a bunch of race hustlers and union whores. Pathetic.

The Democrat party was the Party of Slavery at its founding two centuries ago, and remains the Party of Slavery today.

Did he said it in a Negro dialect?
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
