Mr. Ayer registered as a Republican to be electable in an interim election with no incumbents. He did...
This new blog doesn't sound like something that Harry Sidhu and Mimi Walters would support.
So the "Latino vote" pits itself separate from all other races... nice. Since when does skin color take precedence over important issues? How about an education on what's important to the country rather than a certain race.
What a crock.
Dear Laura H. ,
Since when is Latino/Hispanic individuals a specific color? Latino is not a race it is ethnicity. We can be white, black, or asian...maybe you should educate yourself a bit more.
I am here to inform all Latino voters about the fraud Barack Obama is. He engaged in sexism in the campaign and used the race card against the Clinton’s
We have a movement to stop the DNC from selecting it’s candidate rather than electing the candidate by the people.
We are called Puma’s, We stand for Women all across the nation. We stand for anyone who felt that Hillary Clinton was pushed out of the race by the liberal media and the DNC.
We aren’t asking you to support John McCain we are just simply asking you to avoid voting for Barack Obama at any cost. We need to send a message to the DNC that sexism won’t be allowed by anyone. Including Obama or the liberal pro Obama media. Vote Thrid Party, Write in Hillary Clinton if your state allows you too. Just nobama.
..Hillary Supporters, join the coalition of millions of voters who thought Barack Obama was selected by the democratic party…and not elected by the people of our nation.

OBAMA ES LA O.N.U MENTIROSO
Obama pandered al Latinos hoy, decir que él tiene una historia de colocar latinos para votar. Por supuesto Obama no mencionó que cuando él ayudó a Latinos y a otras minorías a votar, él entonces eliminó a sus opositores políticos en una tecnicidad, que resultó con Obama que era el único candidato en la balota… así quitando cualquier opción, excepto se, para el Latinos al voto para.
Is it reasonable to expect that if a person is going to post in a language, other than English, that the postings would have a semblance of the intended language, as compared to a bastardization of the same?
