2. Is this kick meant to say that you are proud that Hillary supporters
still are lumping an entire race of people and bunching them up into one group?

Y'all must continue to talk in terms that you are most accustomed to; Black, latinos, White women, white men.

Go ahead, with your badass selves. But proud.

4. Yeah you know I kept hearing the Cubans in Florida were all
going to vote for Rudy and give him a win. I think we know how that turned out.

12. Like I said before, you make me ashamed for Wes Clark when
you wear his avatar. I know that he ain't into putting everybody into groups constantly and bringing up their difference every minute of the day.

See this site? That's my site, and as far as I am concerned, you should change your avatar.

9. Reminds me of that Roger Waters song

The monkey sat on a pile of stones
And he stared at the broken bone in his hand
And the strains Viennese quartet
Rang out across the land
The monkey looked up at the stars
And he thought to himself
Memory is a stranger
History is for fools
And he cleaned his hands
In a pool of holy writing
Turned his back on the garden
And set out for the nearest town
Hold on hold on soldier
When you add it all up
The tears and marrowbone
There's an ounce of gold
And an ounce of pride in each ledger
And the Germans killed the Jews
And the Jews killed the Arabs
And Arabs killed the hostages
And that is the news
And is it any wonder
That the monkey's confused
He said Mama Mama
The President's a fool
Why do I have to keep reading
These technical manuals
And the joint chiefs of staff
And the brokers on Wall Street said
Don't make us laugh
You're smart kid
Time is linear
Memory's a stranger
History's for fools
Man is a tool in the hands
Of the great God Almighty
And they gave him command
Of a nuclear submarine
And sent him back in search of
The Garden of Eden

Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
Expressed in dollars and cents,
Pounds, shillings and pence
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense

3. good factual article the only question is that it is always a
question of what Latino turnout is at an election especially a primary. This is especially true during a Tuesday. BTW this is a reason why the caucuses on a Saturday at work sites were in fact a Clinton advantage. In their paranoia they tried to stop it. If there was a similar opportunity for hard working Latinos to take time off Tuesday to vote it would be a big advantage. Tuesday is a big toss up because of these unknowns.

7. So basically name recognition and the fact that Bill Clinton appointed Latinos
Thing is, HRC is running not Bill. And if she wins this article seems to indicated that it will be for her last name rather than her qualities. That is not a good outcome, I think.

11. well my point is to not count your chickens until the latinos actually vote
historically I think they have a hard time voting on Tuesdays.
