All six members of Florida’s Democratic Congressional delegation have written to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights requesting that it convene a hearing to investigate Florida’s 2011 electoral law, HB 1355, after former Republican state leaders and GOP consultants said the law was expressly designed to reduce Democratic voter participation… Former state Republican Party chairman Jim […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Despite some complicated dealings and questionable friends, Florida senator Marco Rubio has risen to become one of the new faces in the Republican Party. In a party of old white males, Rubio stands out as a boyish-looking 41 year-old male of Cuban heritage.

What will you tell a young black boy if someone who headed a white supremacist organization for most of his life replaces the first non-white President?

Maybe a candidate who takes the advice and money of billionaires and right wing nuts really will give them the keys to the White House. Maybe a super-rich aristocrat pushing policies that benefit the rich and punish the poor really is trying to divide America. Maybe a guy who wears brownface, feels Mexicans mistreated him, and opposes the Dream Act […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
While Mormons like to say they’re no crazier than other religions, it’s apparent that when you actually compare them, Mormons have them beat by a mile.

You can’t write this funny. Just before he speaks to a group of Latinos, Mitt Romney darkens his skin with self-tanner and hopes they forget he wants them all to self-deport. His vice-president goes in front of seniors to talk about cutting senior benefits, gets booed and then just stands there like Carrie all covered […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Over the weekend, Martin O’Malley, David Axelrod, and David Plouffe got into trouble for not being able to give a clean answer to the question, are you better off now than you were four years ago. The obvious answer is, of course we’re better off– the stock market has doubled, we’ve created millions more jobs […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Mitt Romney doesn’t want to talk about religion. No, not because Mormonism is so controversial, but because religion is at the heart of his campaign, and he wants to keep that fact a secret. Mitt Romney plans to use religion more than any other presidential candidate in history. While most political analysts predicted Romney would […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Neil Munro is an example of what happens when Republicans stop yelling at their television sets and go out in public. Unfortunately for us, Munro is part of an internet blog that somehow received White House press credentials. Today, Munro didn’t cover the news, he decided to become the news when he carelessly belched out […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
At a public forum sponsored by Bloomberg View, the ex-governor criticized his own Republican Party as too partisan – too much so that his father, former President George H.W. Bush and former President Ronald Reagan would find it difficult to fit in. He also criticized current GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s immigration stance as inadequate, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
By now, we all have heard the story of Mitt Romney’s great grandfather being told by Brigham Young to go to Mexico and establish a Mormon polygamist colony.

Take immigration […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The United States Senate has been called the most exclusive club in the world. More than any office, it epitomizes the American political system. Senators serve for six years and they have become a power unto themselves. Once devoid of minorities and women, the U.S. Senate remains that way in almost half the states in […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
You would think that having a grandfather who fled to Mexico City to practice polygamy would make Mitt Romney a little more sensitive to the worries and concerns of Latinos. Think again. Romney and the rest of the Republican Party have decided to scapecoat Latinos as a means to rally their base. Romney — who needs […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Mitt Romney just doesn’t care what anyone thinks, he just doesn’t like Mexican-American immigrants. He made that clear at Wednesday night’s debate in Arizona where he pandered to right wingers like Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

In another blow to his election chances, Latinos are distancing themselves from his harsh stance on Immigrant Americans. While stressing the Mormon faith’s historic connection to converting immigrants, Latino Mormons point directly to immigration stories in the Book of Mormon and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ recent statements against policies targeting immigrants.

It seems that the Republican Party has become so anti-Latino that it’s willing to squealch one of their own to send a message to its base. By all accounts, Adalberto Jose Jordan is a Republican.
