Republican Latino Make-Overs
I've commented on multiple occasions lately about the fact that Republicans seem to go out of their way to court Latinos through what seems to be silly ploys and stunts rather than policy positions.
I've mentioned State Representative Dee Margo suddenly becoming Latino and rolling his r's as a ploy to appeal to Latino voters.
But that's a state rep from just one district in El Paso.
How about that Mitt for brains eh?
Who in the blue hell came up with the idea of giving Mitt Romney a spray-on tan for his appearance on Univision? Seriously, Hulk Hogan and Snooky think it was a bad tan. The only other white man Romney's age that I know of that tries that hard to be brown is George Hamilton.
Did his campaign staff actually talk that one out before making the decision? Did some campaign strategist talk with his intern about the idea? "Hey, ya know what would be a good idea for this whole Spanish-language television thing? We should get him a spray-on tan to make him look darker. You know, so that Latinos will like him more."
"Capital idea boss! More coffee?" replied the intern.
"Yes. But hold the creme please. I like my coffee like I like my Republican nominees, dark and rich!" quipped the strategist.
I'm kidding of course but don't the Republicans get how offensive their actions are to our culture? How much more over the top could they have gotten? Have Romney come out in a sombrero?
Well, normally that would be a rhetorical question, but it appears the over-the-top antics to appeal to Latinos knows no bounds.
Apparently the Republican nominee for the 16th Congressional seat really raised the stakes this weekend.
I will see your sombrero...and raise you a Mexica headdress!
Yeah...that really happened. Its not photoshopped.
Since we are talking about appealing to Latinos, I personally think the Democratic nominee, Beto O'Rourke, should get in on the act. I think he should get the Virgen de Guadalupe tattooed on his back with "O'Rourke" in Old-English font above the Virgen. And the bikes he so famously rides? He needs to drop the frame, get Commissioner Sergio Lewis' body shop to hook-up a firme paint-job (I suggest green with some gold flake), chrome it out, and throw some white wall tires on that bad-boy.
Lets just hope Charlie Garza doesn't get a small cross tattooed on his hand, a tear drop near his eye, or the words "Mi Vida Loca" on his chest. Then we'd really lose votes to the Republicans!
Oh yeah, quick sidebar. Uh, I have a question for the so-called Democrats that are supporting the Republican congressional nominee. Are you voting for Romney too? Because I want to know how you can vote for President Obama and the Republican nominee at the same time since their policy stances are so clearly different...

If I am not mistaken they have, or are planning, a joint block-walking effort (O'Rourke and Moody). So that pretty clearly indicates where O'Rourke's support is.
