Our next Democratic president should be a multi-generational Mexican-American...

[MrScorpio]

Woman.


That'll REALLY send the teabaggerati over the edge.


Let's see them try to "take their country back" from THAT kind of change.

[TBF]

1. LOL@ teabaggerati nt

[lunatica]

2. It would be better if she were a first generation Mexican American

Whose parents immigrated here.

I love your term 'teabaggerati'. I hope it sticks.

[3waygeek]

5. Just to piss them off even more, I'd have her

be a lesbian in a committed relationship with a Muslim woman.

[MrScorpio]

7. How about both?

One parent multi-generational and the the other first generation.

A panoply of the American experience.

[Bitwit1234]

3. Correct correct correct our next president should be a

SHE .......GET THAT A SHE................And not a damn republican.

[Cleita]

4. I know diversity should be the general rule,

however, I just want the best person for the job. If that person should be a man or woman of any ethnicity or religion, I applaud it but we shouldn't over look any traditional white males who would be best for the job too.

[ThomWV]

6. Why not a 1st generation with no birth record what so ever?

[MrScorpio]

9. I like the idea of a birth certificate

Even if the birthers will sue, we know that they'll get kicked out of court.

[The Backlash Cometh]

8. I would volunteer...

...except they would probably label me the Sarah Palin on the left...

Not much into public speaking, me.

[MrScorpio]

10. The problem is that there aren't a lot of politically viable Latina women in the limelight now

Other than Hilda Solis, who else is out there?

I'm not even going to suggest Loretta Sanchez, because she's a notorious Blue Dog.

[Catshrink]

11. No, it should be a Native American.

Who could threaten to send a teabagger's white ass back to wherever.

[MrScorpio]

12. As someone who's 1/16th Cherokee...

I'll sign on to that idea as well.

[EC]

13. One of the Sanchez sisters?.. n/t

[MrScorpio]

15. Not my first choice

But, thinking this thing over only reinforces the fact that we need more Latinas to get involved in big time Democratic politics

[regnaD kciN]

14. ...and those on the left will STILL blast her as a "traitor" or "sellout"...

:eyes:

[MrScorpio]

16. We've got the Big Tent...

That kind of stuff happens

[minavasht]

17. How about

the best candidate?
Why the F race/gender/hair color/etc. should have anything to do with one's abilities?

[Hangingon]

19. Thank you.

Lots of people on this board forget that the president is a serious matter. The person picked has to run the country in a contentious country and world. The candidate has to be chosen for his/her abilities. It is about way more than "sticking" it to the teabaggers or the republican party.

[gkhouston]

18. multi-generational? She's got a time machine and she's her own grandmother? n/t

[Panaconda]

20. I don't care

if he/she/it is a purple three-armed, two-headed beetle faced dodecahedron as long as we get some policies that help out the poor and are good for the ecosystems.

The last two administrations were wrapped in the mantle of diversity and from where I sit I see a lot of conformity and allegiance to the corporations.
