Geraldo Rivera: "How can Republicans be......... so dumb?"

Geraldo Rivera: Clint Eastwood and Marco Rubio Are Not Enough



..............

Can a gay person who does not self-hate vote for the GOP?

Or, if they are an undecided Latino voter, is telling them that you require the cop on the corner to ask them and their children for their papers, if that cop in his own mind thinks they may be here illegally, a good way to win support for Mitt Romney?

Do the geniuses in the GOP really think that putting Latinos on stage in Tampa, even the hugely attractive senator Marco Rubio who delivered a barn-burning introduction to Mitt Romney will seal the deal with the ethnic group destined to decide the election in Nevada, New Mexico, Florida and Colorado without policy to back up the symbolism?

Does any clear thinking politician in this country not understand why Mitt Romney is polling fewer than 30% of the Latino vote, less than John McCain’s disastrous 31% and far behind George W. Bush who gained 44% in 2004?
“You can’t just trot out a brown face or a Spanish surname and expect people to vote for your party or your candidate,” said Democratic Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa at a provocative press conference in Tampa on Tuesday.
Duh.

How can Republicans who pride themselves on their competence, their love of personal freedom and their common sense be so proud and so dumb?

They're the "angry old white guy" party and they're too dumb to see that they are slowly but surely running out of angry old white guys.
