7. I think Hispanics know who wants reform...
Edited on Thu Apr-29-10 06:44 PM by IndianaJoe
And the Arizona mess sure tells them it isn't the Republicans. But the Latino outrage over this is just getting started. I think we're going to see marches, demonstrations, boycotts in numbers we've never seen before. I'd like Dems to be a big part of it.

I remember reading once that in the old Blaine-Cleveland election back when my ancestors, the Irish, were the hated immigrant minority, the Republican Blaine was at a wingding where a supporter made a toast claiming the Democrats were the party of "Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion". Blaine just lifted his glass and took a sip like everyone else there did. It so infuriated the Irish that they came out in record numbers and got Cleveland elected. Latinos will take no back seat to the Irish on this. But Obama's gotta show them he cares.
