"They are against food"

"No one is asking me how much money I get from the Latino community, or from African-Americans, or from people in the Jewish community, or any other group," said Bustamante. "No one else, just the indigenous tribal governments. Why is that?" When asked if he saw this as racial discrimination, Bustamante responded: "Well, that's how it is, I think, sometimes. And I believe we need leaders who can unite, not divide, people."

His rant really reminds of a Bagdahd Bob press conference.
"The Americans are against food, that is because their stomachs are roasting in Hell even as we speak!!!!?

[WorkingClassFilth]

If he would just bare himself in 'Hustler' he might have a better chance. Think of all the voters on Castro street in SF that are dying for a peek.

COME ON, LARGE BREASTS - STRUT YOUR STUFF!

[Joe Hadenuf]

What a stupid, stupid man. Imagine him being Governor, Californians.... I'll wait. . . Okay, now go vote for recall and Schwartzy or McClingin'on and improve your state before the financial ruin is spread out over the whole country.

The fish stinks from the head, as the millions are coming across fedgov borders, and are heading to all points, far beyond borders of Cal......

[river rat]

Bustamonte seems to have finally come out of the closet..

This speech and his recent REFUSAL to refute the racist position of organizations he joined and supports - paints him as a racist, that is neither American or Californian...
He's still a Mexican, and his base is the ILLEGAL immigrant population...

This is the democrat party in Kalifornicate...
It's coming to YOUR state soon...

Semper Fi

"They are against food


mmm.. food

[heleny]

I think it's safe to say he is "pro" food. El Gordo.

*LOL*
In that respect, Bustamante likes food twice as much as trim Tom McClintock, Arnold Schwarzenegger, or Gray "I weigh..165 on a good day" Davis.

[Reeses]

"I like food! And it likes me!"

[Joe Hadenuf]

It's coming to YOUR state soon...

It's already in most states, I'm just too tired to post the current articles that validate this nationwide nightmare.....

[heleny]

just demand a ballot and vote.

If you're not on the roster at the polling place, you only get to vote a provisional ballot. The bigger problem is illegal aliens who are actually registered to vote -- they get to cast a real ballot.

I heard Sally MacPherson (sp?) on the radio. She's the Registrar of voters in San Diego County. The registrars have no means of checking the citizenship of anyone registering to vote, and she said the DMV (which provides most registration cards) doesn't check, either.

What she said amounted to saying there's no safeguard against illegal aliens registering to vote except their own consciences when they sign their names under penalty of perjury that they meet the qualifications. Basically, they don't check an applicant's citizenship. She said the only solution was to change the laws to require proof of citizenship when registering to vote.

It looks like Bustamante is smuggling a few illegals in his gut there.

[LibWhacker]

Wow, check out that silk tent. Bet that cost the Don a pretty penny!

Bustmante: "If every person in the immigrant communities went out and voted, I could succeed..."

"If every person in the immigrant communities who got his voter registration without having to demonstrate citizenship...."

[ladyinred]

He means, of course, the illegal community, and they will.

[ridesthemiles]

Subtle my A$$...He's saying it right out loud. This is the biggest reason why the illegal problem needs to be turned around. FAST

[Nonstatist]

"If every person in the immigrant communities went out and voted, I could succeed just with their votes."

LOL! He obviously is weak at Math. Thats just not the way to go, Einstein. You need some white folk in your corner!

[ladyinred]

"I really don't care about the White people, so help me separate us from them and divide us all!!"

Oh totally! Amazing how he doesn't seem to grasp the idea that the problem with the Indian money is that it is more than the law allows, that he was told to give it back, and is refusing!

He doesn't want to be a divider? Right, that is all the democrats do, divide by race, class, and species.

[mplsconservative]

ROTFL...before I even got to your comments and saw where his finger was pointing I imagined him saying, "I like food, see. Not the dirty LA Americans, so skinny."

[daviddennis]

Did you catch his answers on MEChA?

On his membership in MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan):

"When I was in that organization, we would run campaigns for student government. We wanted to gain access for all the kids in the area to attend college, to come and celebrate the diversity we had in the community. I think it's important, whether you're a student or a member of the community, that you fight for all the people. I think that's very positive.

QUESTION: What do you think of the MEChA slogan "For the race, everything. For those outside the race, nothing"?

All the students who were in the organization with me came to college, they graduated, they are raising their families, they are working. I think that, hopefully, the politics of those students who were protesting back then, I think their politics have grown - like mine."

--

Well, give the guy a little credit, I guess. At least he doesn't try to deny that slogan meant anything, as other MEChA members have tried to do when defending him.

We certainly hope his politics are maturing, but his separatist talk about winning with Latins only doesn't seem frightfully encouraging.

"If every person in the immigrant communities went out and voted, I could succeed just with their votes."

Don't beleive it for a minute Cruz, people in "immigrant communities" respect someone who can kick ass not kiss ass.

[Carry_Okie]

Completely untrue. You've been listening to your boy Tom to much. There are several ways to stop it.

There you go again. None of those "ways" Arnold proposes is politically possible. Telling the public that he will request that a Democratic legislature rescind a law it just passed is a beyond-cynical ploy. Neither will the Feds do anything about it either.
