13. i know there are many poor walking right in my own neighborhood who vote
republican, and then they sit around and complain that they don't have insurance, or their insurances don't cover what it used to cover ... they all blame it on the democrats --doesn't matter that all of this has come to pass under the worst republican administration ever and the most brazenly controlled republican congress ever... however, they all think they are richer than hell because they happen to be republicans breathing the free oxygen that bush extends to them:sarcasm:

and as for which states vote blue ... does the question become, "can republican money spread and buy ignorance so as to keep themselves afloat or on top?"

right now they are treating the latinos as hell. and some are interested in having the latinos not treated as hell, not because they believe in any form of decent humane treatment for them, but because, they say that, IF THEY LOSE THE LATINO VOTE THEY LOSE THEIR POWER!!!!!!!!! and ain't that a craven position to take...and darn bastard latinos (of which i am 50% a true blooded one) if they aren't so ignorant that they let themselves be bought by the lying bastard bushes and their ilk.

including those latinos who have reached the AMERICAN DREAM under anyone of a democrat's government, or any number of a democrat's policies.

and i think of maria elena salinas and jorge ramos of UNIVISION...she was the daughter of a washerwoman,who saved her pennies, got an education, and climbed the mountain i think i read somewhere. He just said on television the other day that he'd come to this country to pursue the american dream because his father could never have given him in Mexico what he was able to obtain here in the U.S.A. And darn if those two didn't seem to be supporting the republicans all along. Having now climbed the mountain, i think they thought that they had become one of them (privileged class citizens)... however, now the mountain is giving them a whole big brown mountain slide ... and they are learning that as far as the mountain is concerned they are just simply two brown skinned latinos who lived a dream but are waking up in a nightmare.
