The Hispanic Texas mayor whose keynote speech wowed the Democratic National Convention crowd Wednesday night draws political inspiration from his mother – who was a member of a radical civil rights movement and who reportedly thinks the truth behind the Battle of the Alamo is that Texans swiped Mexico’s land. Maria del Rosario Castro, the mother of San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, said in 2010 that she grew up being told the battle was “glorious,” only to learn the so-called heroes were really “a bunch of drunks and crooks and slaveholding imperialists who conquered land that didn’t belong to them.” “But as a little girl I got the message -- we were losers,” she told The New York Times Magazine. “I can truly say that I hate that place and everything it stands for.” The Alamo, then a sprawling mission for missionaries and American Indian converts, was attacked in February 1836 by Mexican General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. Though historical accounts vary, Texans, including famous frontiersman Davy Crockett, fought back for 13 days only to surrender, on March 6. Maria del Rosario Castro also was a member of the La Raza Unida, a radical movement that defended the civil rights of Mexican-Americans in Texas. The 37-year-old Hispanic mayor told New York Times Magazine that upon being elected mayor in 2009 he promptly hung in his private office a 1971 La Raza Unida City Council campaign poster that featured his mother. Neither Castro nor his mother returned calls seeking comment. Castro’s twin brother, Joaquin, is running for a Texas congressional seat this year.

Another drunk reconquista, probably one of Mitt's relatives from ol' Mexico. Mucho Tequila!
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
still hopey and changing there obamabot
You attempt to pigeon-hold hondo as an "obamabot" is laughable. BOTH candidates are corrupt and venal. When we really need a leader, we're forced to pick between two empty suits. Which means NOTHING will stop the collapse, no matter which phony "leader" is selected.
I've picked romney and you guys have picked obama. That's obvious by the anti-romney posts you both do. Personally, i like both of you guys but i think you're both full of crap on this issue.
we're forced to pick between two empty suits. I've picked romney and you guys have picked obama. That's obvious by the anti-romney posts you both do. You are exactly right. I'm an old adage guy and the one that fits here is - "perfect is the enemy of the good". Romney is NOT an empty suit. He is a typical successful CEO - non-ideological, trusts our market system, and wants to get things done. Yes, he has clumsily flip-flopped on social issues, but he has done so precisely because he is not a professional politician. Obama on the other hand was influenced as a child by communists. As a young man, he sought out communists in college to befriend. As an adult, he sat in a black liberation church for 20 years, listening to Jeremiah Wright bash whitey and damn America. But of course to conspiratorial dimwits, they are exactly the same. God help us.
Nothing like traitors high in the government.

Like Pavlov ringing the bell for the dog,the RNC has taught you to run slavering to the voting booth to once again pull the lever for the "less than perfect". You have been doing this for a couple of decades now,so why not tell us how wonderfully this has worked for the country? If you keep paying (voting) for the lesser of two evils,that's going to keep being your only option.

Sure he is. His one consistent trait is his proclivity to LIE. I could post a plethora of examples, but that's been done so many times (and you're still too STUPID to get it), there's really no point. Hardly. I known a LOT of CEOs over the years, in large and small corporations. They get to where they are, because they know their shit. Romney is another corrupt scumbag, as documented here and here. I've provided the links, and it's now YOUR job to refute the two articles I have posted and linked to. Until then, DON'T push your wishful- thinking horse-shit as gospel, you twit. Oh, is that the new PC-term for "lying?" Thanks for the laugh- your 'spin' is reaching comedic levels. Uh-HUH. Was he lying then, or is he lying now? WHICH is it? Oh, BTW, this applies to any subject you care to discuss, where mcRomney has LIED. PICK one area he has always stood fast on... JUST ONE. Ah, now we're getting to the heart of the matter. You question motivations. So do I... and both are narcissistic, venal and corrupt. Their motives are different, the end result is the same. Thus, there is no substantive difference, much as you try to 'spin' reality. Another attempt to belittle your betters. I expected as much. Unlike you and the other mindless members of your herd, people are waking up to the Kabuki theater that our elections truly are. They recognize that the choices presented are false, that the candidates are corrupt, and the process is rigged. The video showing the scripted results of the GOP vote (with boner reading off the teleprompter) drove home how corrupt it all really is. It's one thing to understand it. But it's another thing to actually see the corruption happen... Your naivete' is amusing. And in 3 1/2 years, when obamney, has continued on with the same policies and destroyed this country...? I'll be SURE to tell you, "toldja' so." Assuming your empty little life is still continuing, and IF you aren't so broke that you can't afford internet access, and IF you're not too afraid to speak on the internet (Big Brutha' watching, dontcha' know...). Watch and learn, little sheep. Maybe during the next election cycle- if there IS one- you'll finally understand. But I'm not holding my breath.
Amazing to watch, isn't it? Stephen King asked at the end of the book The Stand, "do people ever learn?" Looking at pegler, it seems the question is as relevant today, as it was 3000 years ago. Sadly, the answer still seems to be "No." Pity.
You've picked Obama in Mormon underwear, which is the same thing as voting for Obama. I'm voting for someone pro-American. Not Obama nor Mitt! They're both globalist hate-America D&R scum! Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
I saw somebody else refer to him as Rombama,and I stole the hell out of that one.

I look at it this way, if i wanted someone to run my business who would i pick. The answer is pretty obvious.
I'm not disputing any of your arguments simply because I don't think their relevant to the disaster our country is in. We simply need someone with real business experience to turn this country around and get people back to work. To me there is no other chose. You guys can stand by your moral principles while we lose more jobs, our borders are erased and we become greece buried under a mountain of debt. Remember when your grandkids ask you to tell them about america before it became a third world country, be sure and tell them that you stood by your principles rather then oppose the obama transformation of america.
If THAT is what you're hoping to get, than you are stone-cold fucked, because neither of the two "electable" nitwits you're forced to choose from, will do anything except fuck you, your family and everyone you KNOW over. You're delusional if you think otherwise. Since I have NO real choice as to who deserves my vote, I'll be happy to stick with my choices, while you can happily vote for one of the sock-puppets who are going to fuck you up the ass. Oh, we're screwed alright... I'm just not going to "lay there and take it," like you espouse. If that's your choice, fine and well. I honestly think mcRomney will get elected, but it won't MATTER. So don't start whining, when the sockpuppet YOU voted for, fucks you over... because I'll just say "told ya' so." Oh, I will. And I'll also tell them that weak, stupid fools like YOU are why we became a third-world country. Sleep well, you miserable sheep.
The answer is pretty obvious. Yep. You ever hear of monster.com?
You may not have noticed it,but we started becoming a Third World Country about 2 decades before Obummmer showed up. You can thank that bastard Poppy Bush and everybody who has followed him for this. Obummer is just the most recent traitor,and truth to tell,FAR less skilled at treason than those who passed before him. This is one place where a lack of experience and contacts is a positive.

Calm down eric, i'm not trying to start shit with you. Romney was never my first choice for president but he got the nomination so i'm behind him. If ron paul or any other person got the nomination I'd be backing them 100%. I feel that obama is an evil that's destroying the country. Anybody But Obama.
pete, it's Anybody But Obama (ABO) with me, i don't care who wins as long as it's not that sob.
Ok.

Fair enough. And for the record, I *do* understand your reasoning, though I disagree with it. Sneaky's right- they've all been interchangeable traitorous BASTARDS ever since bush-I. I am so God-damned SICK of the bullshit, so tired of the lies and the treason... And after watching the complete fraud that happened at the gop convention, I'm *done* with them. Nobody from either party will get my vote, EVER again- POTUS down to dog-catcher, it doesn't matter. If I have to, I'll just write in "none of these," and have done with it. I've been a Ron Paul supporter since I first heard about him back in 2007. I decided I'll write in his name, regardless. And a lot of the pundits said he was outmatched, even without the various dirty-tricks at the different state polls, and at the gop convention. Perhaps that is so; they would have been magnanimous had they played square, and won anyway. But instead, they exposed their love of power, and their absolute corruption... And as far as I'm concerned, they're dead. Kinda' like the relative you can't abide, anymore, and refuse to be associated with. In effect, I'm now a man without a party... I'll be looking into the Libertarian party later, but for now...? I've no time to get deep into such things, between my research, work and family. Honestly, I hope you're right, and I'm wrong.... God KNOWS, I hope I'm wrong. But in my heart, I know we're gonna' be betrayed badly, no matter who wins.
But in my heart, I know we're gonna' be betrayed badly, no matter who wins. I haven't felt this bad about the country since the days of the 2nd worst president in history, jimmy carter. The day reagan destroyed that sob was one of the happiest days in my 66 years. Romney is by no stretch of the imagination reagan but I pray that he will defeat the WORST president ever obama. Bush the neocon douchebag is running a close third in the worst president contest. Hopefully, ryan's (not romney) plans will turn the country around. I looking for rand paul to carry the conservative message forward in the future.
You DO know Ryan will be lucky to get invited to lunch at the White House,right? I will never understand why people vote for a president because of his Vice President. Hell,Truman had never even heard rumors about the A-Bomb until after King Franklin died and they had to bring him to the WH and brief him.

I've picked romney and you guys have picked obama. What you are doing is engaging in a common disinformation tactic known as a False Dichotomy A false dichotomy is typically used in an argument to force your opponent into an extreme position -- by making the assumption that there are only two positions. Examples: "if you're not cop, you're little people" "if you're not cop, you're little people" Nice tires, you could run over a neocon with those without even breaking traction on the slimy stuff.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
I had a fairly good opinion of Fire Island before watching him pick on my sister on eLPee. Here is a tape of a cop who acts just like GI does on eLPee only in real time. http://www.drugwar.biz You can contact me at stgeorgeoutofcontrol@yahoo.com Police are stalking me outside of my home: http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/19/1988.asp BTW, the officer's patrol video and audio is no where to be found. His tape is GONE. Anyone surprised? He's been fired http://us.cnn.com/2007/US/09/21 /madcop.video.ap/index.html This happened just outside of a speed trap town in Missouri called St. George with only a few officers that think they have more power than they really do. According to MO state statutes, this 3rd class city does not have police power outside of their city limits. http://www.moga.state.mo.us/statutes/C000-099/0850000561.HTM If you know of any statute in MO that gives them general police power outside their town, please email me. The commuter lot is open 24 hours a day and can be confirmed by calling 1-888-Ask-MoDOT. You can see me pass the officer at :08 seconds as he nearly blocks the road as he sits waiting for the next car without license plate lights to come by. You'll hear this officer tell me he'll make up "9 different charges" including resisting arrest before he has even tried to arrest me. You'll hear him say how I didn't use my turn signal and I was weaving when the video clearly proves him wrong. I truly thought if I didn't suck up, I would be beaten and maybe killed. The officer's name is Sgt. James Kuehnlein. Please excuse the clicking in the video
Good dog.
Cops like that deserve bullets in the head.
You mean you didn't vote for Bush because of "Dick is a killer?" :-)
