Romney's "Model" Behavior - You Have to Work Hard to Offend 50 Million Latinos

Febryary 29, 2012 - Congressman Luis V. Gutierrez spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives about recent comments by GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney that Arizona's restrictive anti-immigrant law, SB1070, is a "model" for the nation. Rep. Gutierrez said that the nation's 50 million Latinos, most of whom are citizens and eligible voters, is a lot of people, "Especially if you want to offend each and every one of us. But to Mitt Romney's credit -- he's trying."

You tell them, Gutierrez!! Romney doesn't want to win this election. He and the other GOP candidates have offended all minorities, gays, women, working class, union members, children, unemployed, sick, elderly and essentially everyone who is not part of the 1% wealthy. And let's not forget he has offended animals too!! That stunt of putting his dog on the roof of the car why traveling was dangerous and cruel.

Wow, what a great argument from a Republican AGAINST a democrat. lol.The list we can pull up on Republicans would take DAYS and would be a lot worse. Neither party has a good history, and I wish there was a 3rd party choice.

Lets face the fact that Hispanics and Latinos are nothing but a burden to the United States who have only contributed to the destuction and ruiniation of the country by their presence. You see the United States is infested with Hispanic and Latino crtiminal gangs such as the Mexican Mafia (Mexican), MS 13 (El Salvadorian) and Latin Kings (Puerto Rican). If Hispanics and Latinos were to be sent back home where they belong these criminal street gangs would disapear. Deport all these people ASAP.

It is time for all those 50 Million Hispanics and Latinos to be be mass deported from the United States and returned to their poverty stricken crime infested and disease contaminated bacward third world banana republics in Latin America where they belong. Hispanics and Latinos are not loyal to the United States and do not have it's best intentions and are a selfish people who are loyal to La Raza and who believe in open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens and destroying our great country.

Romney is a piece of shit, who hates Hispanics, he's afraid that Hispanics are taking over.

How does SB 1070 offend all 50 million or so Latinos? Apparently all Latinos are the same? All Democrats are the same? All Republicans are the same?

BlackRepublican2010, do your homework on Gutierrez. Typical of GOP hoses, you spout without having your facts lined up. I won't do your homework for you. It's time to do your own work instead of on the backs of others.
