Republicans Are Having A Real Problem With America's Fastest Growing Voter Bloc

Let's start with New Jersey resident-- and arch-bigot-- Lou Dobbs and sit back and watch his jihad against Chris Christie:



Then there's former Tea Party fave Rick Perry, now abandoned by the hate-spewing racist teabaggers (who were once-- days and days ago-- his base) because of the one humane policy he ever got talked into backing, a Texas DREAM Act. They don't like him no mo'. This week they started heckling him in public.

Texas Governor Rick Perry was loudly heckled Thursday while holding a fundraising event in Charlotte, North Carolina, despite attempts by his campaign to thwart the critics.

Some 15 members of the Americans for Legal Immigration (ALIPAC) were outside San Antonio’s Mexican Grill, where Perry held his fundraiser. Bearing signs and American flags, the immigration reform protesters made much more noise than their number, and cars driving by the protest loudly honked their horns in support.

“Rick Perry is the only candidate that signed in state tuition for illegal immigrants into law, ” ALIPAC President William Gheen told local news outlet WCNC. “I shouldn’t have to pay to replace my own kids in college because of someone else’s criminal activity.”

Perry has gotten a drubbing in the polls after he told critics of his approving Texas state tuition funding for illegals attending college that they “have no heart” during last week’s GOP debate. He apologized for saying this yesterday, although he stands by the decision he made as governor.

Perry's campaign is very nervous about losing the support of the racist hatemongers who are the "populist" and activist core of the Republican Party. He's now talking about sending troops into Mexico and leaking stories about how his family home was called Niggerhead until last summer. Perhaps teabaggy Republicans will rethink the breakup.



At least the racists have a champion-- even if he's a completely flippity-floppity one. Here's the so-called "mainstream conservative" in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. He seems to be throwing away the Hispanic vote, which is kind of a big deal for Republicans interested in winning in swing states like Florida, Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado. Probably bad news for Republican candidates lower down the ticket in states like Texas, California and a dozen or so other states where the GOP does count on a share of Hispanic voters. And wasn't Romney born in Mexico? Or was that his father? I recall some Mormon Romneys fled to Mexico to escape persecution at one time, no?
