Dem. Rep. Joaquin Castro: Collapse of Tea Party Inevitable
newsmax.com ^ | August 11, 2013

Posted on 08/19/2013 1:30:34 PM PDT by Tailgunner Joe

The tea party has "one or two more elections cycles" left before it implodes, Texas Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."

"I think what's most problematic for Republicans, at this point, is that they seem to be taken right now by the tea party's more-extreme base," Castro said, referring to GOP Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky. "I think if they nominate somebody like that, it will be 1964 all over again because that's just not where the majority of Americans are."

The reference is to the landslide victory by Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson over his Republican opponent Barry Goldwater, a strong ideological conservative, in that year's historic presidential race.

"The infighting is getting so severe that I just don’t see how you sustain that," Castro said of the conservatives.

When you control 90%+ of the News Media, Hollywood and the education establishment. Anything is possible.

The only thing we really have going for our side, is that their policies don’t work. (at least in terms of making a majority’s of people lives better i.e. Detroit)

At some point the truth becomes so obvious and all the propaganda in the world can’t stop it.

The best indicator of a PHONY ADMINISTRATION is the number of its REAL SCANDALS.

Commie Obama’s talking points are thus smokescreen distractions for the products of Obama’s first 4 years in office:

* Refusal to close US Southern Border to Mexican illegal alien invaders
* No known un-forged records of Place of Birth
* No known un-forged records of University grades
* Benghazi Massacre
* Dereliction of Duty as CIC during Benghazi Massacre
* Cover up of Benghazi Massacre
* Destruction of Seal Team Six
* Cover up of Fast and Furious murder of US Border Agent by Exec. Order
* IRS-Obama’care” Commune Death Grip on Wealth and Health
* NSA-Gestapo Death Grip on all citizen’s communications
* Use Courts against News Media
* Use of Supreme Court to install Un-Constitutional Obama’care’ Tax
* Destruction of the US Coal Industry
* Refusal to permit XL Pipeline construction
* Trillion Dollar a year Federal Overspending
* Monthly violations of the US Constitution by Obama
* Use of Exec. Orders to bypass Congress

Was then Secretary of the Treasury Timmy Geithner the original author of the IRS harassment policy towards the TEA Party?

“not where the majority of Americans are”

Yes it is. It is why you are feverishly working to import foreigners more amenable to your statist communist schemes.

MEET THE CASTROS US Cong Julian Castro, San Antonio. His identical twin brother -- San Diego Mayor Julian Castro now making the rounds of presidential primary states. Mamsita Castro is Maria “Rosie” Castro--hardline La Raza activist.

Freshman Cong Joaquín Castro warned that if Speaker Boehner adheres to his promise to invoke the so-called Hastert rule, the House will not pass comprehensive immigration reform this year.

So I guess that will put the kibosh to the ambitious Castro family's plans for America.

Joaquin's TWIN BROTHER---San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro---2012 Dem convention keynoter---genially introduced their mother, Maria “Rosie” Castro.

Mamasita Castro is a radical ethnocentric, anti-assimilationist, a key figure in the activities of the blood-thirsty, tax-funded “La Raza."

====================================================

AMERICANS ARE ALREADY FUNDING THIS HATE-FILLED ORGANIZATION BIGTIME: In 2005 alone, $7.9 million in taxpayer funding was given to La Raza charter schools in the form of US Dept of Education grants.

LA RAZA schools stress Latino culture, the Spanish language, the re-conquest of the American Southwest, the establishment of the mythical Atzlan on US soil, and even Aztec math.

In addition to using taxpayer funds to enforce the teaching of murder and violence in US public schools, the federally-funded La Raza organization operates 100 charter schools across America. A selection:

Academia Semillas del Pueblo (Los Angeles)

Atzlan Academy (Tucson, AZ)

Mexicayotl Academy (Nogales, AZ)

The Dolores Huerta Prepatory High School (Pueblo, CO)

Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School (St. Paul, MN)

Castro went on to say how the OCCUPY MOVEMENT was really hot and will overtake the tea party. After closer examination, spray paint could be seen dripping from his nostrils.

Isn’t it amazing how the Democrats always project their own failings onto others? It’s like they didn’t learn the last million times they did it....

More whistling past the graveyard by the Dims.

If they don’t get amnesty, their goose is the one that is cooked.

The biggest Tea Party victory to date:

Passing an Amnesty bill through the Senate.

Joaquin Castro’s Mama said the Alamo defenders were a bunch of criminals and drunks. ... go figure, She’s an old MALDEF hag.

She never learned in school that Santa Ana tromped around
Old Mexico killing his own people who opposed is dicatorship, before coming up to Texas and getting his own a$$ kicked by
Sam Houston and the Army of Texas.

Rand Paul’s immigration speech
03.19.13 | Hon Sen Rand Paul (KY)

...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.

Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.

Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...

This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

[but he’s not against amnesty, snicker, definition of is is ping]
