Wetback Republican Reaction

[Beefy]

We all know what Young said:

"My father had a ranch; we used to have 50-60 wetbacks to pick tomatoes, it takes two people to pick the same tomatoes now. It's all done by machine."

The old fart is just another out of touch throwback Republican moron that hasn't learned that this isn't the 50's anymore. No surprise there.

This reaction I find interesting though:

Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the number two Republican in the upper chamber, was also quick to seek distance from the comment. He blasted Young in a statement, saying migrant workers come to the country for work and opportunities, not to "hear ethnic slurs and derogatory language from elected officials."

"The comments used by Rep. Young do nothing to elevate our party, political discourse or the millions who come here looking for economic opportunity," he continued.

In that order. Party first, political discourse second, people third.

Party first.

Right or wrong?

The way the sentence is constructed, putting the people last would be the best, both for ease of listening/reading and also to illustrate that the final trait is the most important (you don't typically use the strongest or best argument first).

 

[Timshel]

Also, it says he continued with the last sentence after making the comments in the previous paragraph. It's a pretty strong rebuke and he did not respond like a stormfronter with some unverifiable quote from LBJ. I can't see any reason to crticize Cornyn's response.

 

[Beefy]

Ease of listening/reading? I think you went to school in reverse. This wasn't a Jerry Lee Lewis show, this was a sentence. Putting the people last isn't exactly lighting the piano on fire.

The Republicans used to be responsible, they used to care about fiscal shit - the shit that makes up most of the political discourse - but then they became drunk whores spending like Clinton in a porno shop, and now they want to base their strength on moral issues, and this clown decides to step in and talk wetback. Then the establishment comes in and says the party is hurt.....then discourse, then people.

Clowns. As if it wasn't bad enough.

We always seem unable to realize that legislators are like the easiest job to replace. Thousands of qualified professionals running around doing real jobs. Why can't the parties just implement a policy where they try to force out fuck-ups like Young?

 

[Beefy]

Because qualified professionals are used to accountability, unlike those that work for the government. Professionals have to answer to people whether bosses or shareholders, politicians answer to voters who are generally, ahem, stupid, and have no direct dog in the fight. This comment shoudn't piss someone off because of a party, but because it shows this old fool is no longer operative in our society. Invariably though he is a Republitard, so maybe it is warranted...

 

[Minister of Truth]

Yes, the people are pretty fucking stupid. It's part of the reason why we got stuck with Byrd and Thurmond for all those eons. "Oh, no, who else could possibly learn their way around the Senate and bring home the bacon?!!? Arrggh, migraine setting in!"

There're also donors that politicians have to answer to.

 

[Minister of Truth]

If I got elected to office, I would make it a point to ignore my donors just to see how much it hurts me when I go up for re-election.

Is Pikachu a communist?

well cornyn is correct, repugs must not say what they think, just what the party line is...of course the 'new' party line(s) are mostly lies designed to bring more minorities into the party...their main problem is how many will believe their lies and will they lose their 'base'

yes, when they run out of lies and distortions

Imagine if there had been this much outrage over Byrd using the word nigger and belonging to the KKK.

Guess there is no need for the GOP to support immigration reform now

Considering that money is the mothers milk of politics you'd find out real fast how bad it would hurt you.

The survey noted that the Israeli government regulates the price of gasoline,
and that taxes typically make up about half the cost of a gallon of gas. It also
noted that while Israel taxes gasoline, it simultaneously subsidizes oil to the
tune of some $565 million per year.

Mr. Sciacca, 28, was a member of the Giannini crew, a group of Queens-based wiseguys who worked on a freelance basis for three of the city's five Mafia families over the last 10 years, the government says. He admitted in court on Monday to taking part in three kidnappings, two attempted murders, one murder conspiracy and two actual murders, in which he disposed of the evidence by setting the corpses on fire.

Each time he was asked by Judge Roanne L. Mann to explain precisely what he did, Mr. Sciacca described his violent acts as if they were trips to the post office or the dry cleaners.

''I poured gasoline in the car on the bodies and lit the match,'' he said of the 1992 killings of John Ruisi and Steven Pagnozzi.

Mafia Minor-Leaguers

The government says the Giannini crew was a sort of farm team for La Cosa Nostra. The group of would-be Mafiosi hung out at the Caffe Giannini on Fresh Pond Road in Ridgewood, Queens.

They began their criminal careers as a punch-happy street gang called the Ridgewood Boys or the Ridgewood Juniors, the authorities say. By the early 1990's, they had hooked up with an older set of men called the Ridgewood Seniors, which the government says hooked up with some local men involved in a more sophisticated level of organized crime.
