MEET CARLOS GUTIERREZ…ANOTHER RINO!
Dudes and Dudettes…since I watched this yesterday I wanted to share this with you and see what you think of good ol’ Carlos Gutierrez, another RINO via my viewfinder in life. I also heard him on the Washington Journal earlier in the morning, he took calls from many…let me tell you, he had steam coming from my ears. Why in the world Romney would have him as an adviser is beyond me. As far as I’m concerned Romney made a horrible choice….but that’s just me. If people like this think what they’ve got planned in the future is going to bring one more vote to our side of the aisle…they’re smokin’ something funny! – People like Carlos are the problem…NOT the solution!
Here’s one report. – This is via Mediaite:
Candy Crowley took a look at the Latino vote on this week’s State of the Union. Noting how strongly the president performed among Hispanic voters, she observed how Mitt Romney‘s winning only 27 percent of the Latino vote is “worrisome” for the party and “close to hurtful” for Hispanic Republicans. Carlos Gutierrez, who led the Romney campaign’s Hispanic outreach, was invited to respond. And he wasn’t pleased.
Gutierrez noted that Republicans who believe in comprehensive immigration reform are creating a super PAC to tackle the issue. It’s “something that can have real influence on the outcome of elections,” he said.
Inevitably, Gutierrez was asked to respond to Romney’s “gifts” remark, wherein the former presidential hopeful asserted that the president won re-election due to the “gifts” he have to key demographic blocs. (Namely, minorities and young voters.)
“I was shocked,” he said. “I was shocked, and frankly I don’t think that’s why the Republicans lost the election…I think we lost the election because the far right of this party has taken the party to a place that it doesn’t belong. We are the party of growth, of prosperity, of tolerance.”
“You would admit, though, that your candidate said a lot of things seen as anti-Latino,” Crowley followed up. “You yourself said that they fear the Republican Party, and he was the head of it.”
“And that is true, and, you know, the unfortunate part and we were just talking about this, I don’t know if he understood that he was saying something that was insulting,” Gutierrez said. “The language, the attitude, the body language, that’s what Latinos watch.”

Just what we need, another expert to tell us how to be more “Dem Lite”. Pardon me while I puke.

Guitierrez has been below my radar. But I’ll look into him.
In the meantime, Texas’s new Senator Ted Cruz is a sharp guy.

“I think we lost the election because the far right of this party has taken the party to a place that it doesn’t belong. ”
Or because the obamabots cheated. Or something like that.

This “latino outreach,” “comprehensive immigration reform,” “your candidate said a lot of things seen as anti-Latino,” stuff is a bunch of crap. It all boils down to “give free rides to criminal wetbacks and give us money to breed large families on the taxpayers’ dime or we won’t vote for you.” Varmints. Moochers. Insect culture. Ted Nugent was right.

Yeah, and comments like that endears you to Latinos.
But it must be for the reasons that you gave that they vote thae way that they do. Yeah, that’s it.

You do know that the Dems are going to foist the non-Spanish-speaking Lah-tino Julian Castro on us in 2016. Get ready for 4 years of desperate pandering by the GOP, and unwarranted influence by guys like Gutierrez.
My question is, what will we call the new improved Republican Party…el Partez Viejo Grande, or La Razapublicanos?

A Casual Observer — It was none other than a DEM RESEARCHER who reported that Latinos do NOT vote for candidates because of said candidates’ views on amnesty, but on FREEBIES. They come here for what they can get on the backs of the American taxpayer.
Google Heather McDonald.

Just one more Bush era guy that needs to disappear, his Commerce Secretary. We had a minority round table event with him at Team Nevada where the group had a lot of great ideas to offer. Funny, he never talked like this that day.

Cripes. Next thing you know the feds will turn Black Friday into a national holiday and Christmas will be swept into to the dustbin of history.

Well there needs to be an image of Atlas with the GOP symbol rolling off his back.
No more compromise. The parties are over.
Tea Party 2016 all the way.

I am the “it” demographic: Latina, unemployed, single mother, independent. (That’s 3 bona fide “victim” points!) I voted for Romney. Had I been aware of this asstache, I might have just stayed home.
