Socialist,leftist copycats with nothing in common with tea party principles.
That’ll work just fine.

[Smokin' Joe]

Latino leaders... ...have talked about modeling the effort after the Tea Party, not in substance but in grass-roots organizational style, and have dubbed the proposed movement the “Tequila Party.”

Already a top-down gig. This proves they don't get it.

Yeah, the “Coffee Party” attracted “international attention” too and for the same reason. The leftists know that the Tea Party phenomenon spells their doom and they are throwing up as much gorilla dust as possible to try to distract us.

[ckilmer]

However, if they can run their own candidates in the west they will split off support for the democratic party and throw a lot of elections to the pubbies

[Gaffer]

Yes, this will be grassroots. Only if SEIU, UAW, United Gardeners and Ancillary Home Depot Displaced Undocumented Workers Unions will guarantee free bus and lunch service to ALL events - oops! forgot to add the Amigo 10 dollar/hour employment remuneration that goes will each event......

[Dr. Ursus]

How about the Hispanic DWI party would be more appro!

[GeronL]

big whoop.... so the “Taquila Party” is getting the same media accolades that the “Coffee Party” and Air America Radio got from them.

[snowtigger]

I think this is a great idea!! Let’s get all the illegals and subversives out in the open.
It will be easier to find them when we get a government willing to enforce immigration laws.

[bonehead4freedom]

If your in the country illegally how can you be a powerful voting bloc that will send a message if amnesty isn’t passed? Silly me I always thought only citizens could vote.

[CarWashMan]

This will never happen. Leaders in the Hispanic community know that their $$$$ depends on being a part of the Democrat party. This is similar to Sharpton or Jackson saying that African-Americans need to leave the Democrat party. That is laughable. No leaving the plantation!!!!

[onedoug]

Yeah, ¨Tequila¨ Party conjures up a fine image alright.

[Phlap]

In the next election, given a choice between a Tequila Party candidate and a Marijuana Party candidate, I will have a hard time waking up my mind. lol!

[packrat35]

They said the same damn thing about the “coffee party” and despite pushing it with tons of free publicity, it went nowhere.

[HiJinx]

Ping!

[manic4organic]

Isn’t LULAC, Mecha, La Raza, MALDEF, Hispanic caucus, etc. enough already?

[LadyDoc]

I don’t know about you, but using “tequila” implies that all Mexicans are drunks, and is an insult.

And I guess they didn’t notice that Tequilla is Mexican, but a lot of American Hispanics are Puerto Rican, Cuban, Colombian etc. and don’t drink tequilla.

[jmaroneps37]

“‘Tequila Party’ proposal gains international attention”
Gee, now WHY would THAT be?
