Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is not backing down from a strong remark he made yesterday -- that Hispanics should not be Republicans because of that party's actions blocking immigration reform.

"I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican, OK," Reid said on Tuesday. "Do I need to say more?"

And the youtube comments are really priceless...not.

1. I don't know how anyone who cares about living and breathing could vote Angle. Reid 2010.

2. Just goes to show jus how dumb the nit wits are that post

pro con crap are. Is Harry a bad senator? Sure, but he is no where near as bad or insane as what the cons put out as the person to take Harry's job.

3. It's a question I have asked for years

How could anyone vote republican?

4. Even a dog wouldn't vote for them. Particularly this one. Or the street

-dog in the parable of Lazarus. And they were considered to be the lowest form of life. Christ wasn't one to pull his punches where economic oppression was concerned, was he?

5. Honestly

I don't know how anyone who isn't a member of the most wealthy 10% of this nation could vote Republican.

6. Many aren't very informed

And yeah, that is a condescending statement. But most of the republicans I have known have either been extremely ignorant (generally they are worse than ignorant, they are grossly misinformed but think they are informed), extremely dogmatic, bigoted against outsiders or full of bitterness. I have met very few rational, compassionate, informed republicans. Most are running strictly on base emotions and misinformation. That isn't to say democrats are perfect, but anyone who follows politics probably isn't going to be impressed by the emotional maturity or critical thinking skills of the GOP base.

Some I've met even know the GOP screws people over with their policies, they just don't think they'll ever get thrown under the bus. They seem to think only blacks, latinos, the poor, single mothers, etc. get thrown under.

I've also met ex-republicans. People who were republican until they saw what GOP policies were actually like. Usually health care is a 'come to jesus' moment for republicans that I know. They think the market is great and amazing, until they get sick.


Again, dems aren't perfect. But I have not really met any republicans who were compassionate, mature, informed and rational combined. The ones that are tend to lean libertarian, and they are getting disgusted by the contemporary GOP, so I don't know if I'd include them as Angle/Palin republicans.

7. You do not need to say anymore from where I stand..........

and it's get'en scarier all the time. Did you guys see the people in Atlanta, desperately trying to get applications for Sec 8 housing? How sad it is. And, Obama sits on his hands and snips at the left. God Damn, these politicians.

8. Harry may be a weak dishrag.....

...but he's our dishrag now. NO to Sharron Angle!!!!
