"Diplomacy":
"People are saying what in the world is going on with North Carolina, we look like Mississippi." - NC Gov. Bev Perdue (D) on the passage of Amendment One, 5-11-12
The idea of a “Tequila Party,” which until recently was only quietly debated among Latino leaders, is now making a splash.
First reported Sunday by the Sun, the proposal has gained international attention and has been featured in news publications worldwide.
Latino leaders frustrated by Democrat’s inaction on immigration reform and fears that as a voting bloc they’re a political afterthought are discussing whether to sever their traditional Democratic ties and form an independent grass-roots political group.
They have talked about modeling the effort after the Tea Party, not in substance but in grass-roots organizational style, and have dubbed the proposed movement the “Tequila Party.”
Fernando Romero, president of the nonpartisan Hispanics in Politics, who has spoken with leaders in Nevada and nationally about the proposed effort, said he has been inundated by calls since he was featured in the Sun story.
Funny. For a group as vilified by both the MSM and liberals (but I repeat myself) as “hateful” and “exclusionary”, there sure are a lot of liberals out there doing their darnedest to recreate the same type of grassroots energy that has spurred the Tea Party to national recognition and influence. After the Tea Party came the so-called “Coffee Party” – started in January of this year by jealous liberals. That particular movement so far has been an epic failure, as noted here in a September post by Newsbusters’ PJ Gladnick on the 1st annual Coffee Party “convention.” If the “Tequila Party” takes root, will it, too, suffer the same fate?
I guess it depends on how many worms are found in the bottom of the Tequila bottle …
Poor Democrats. Anything they can do to replicate the despised Tea Party movement. If only they had the Koch Brother’s money and Fox News – the real brains behind what MUST be a phony astro turf movement.
They have to pay union members, provide transportation, and hold concerts to get come to their gatherings. And even then there are more embarrasing communists and anti-American/special interest groups there than regular Americans who love the country (though those types are a rarity in the Dem party anyways).
The Tequila party will fit perfectly – another unhappy, me-first group that makes up the party of dependents.
Just like the Air America debacle, this too will go down in flames. We’ll call it the “Tequila Torpedo”. It will run it’s short course and blow up into nothing. As a member of the “Tea Party” I suggest the Hispanics join us and smell the real AMERICAN party and not a south of the border drunk fest.
I am a “hispanic ” girl form the Tea Party. Don’t mix all us with the Mexicans. I am for the USA. Yes, the rats are very jealous. Just like Sarah they criticize was is successful.
Nina, I’ve got plenty of Hispanics in our Tea Party here in Texas. They all tell me, don’t call me a Mexican American, I’m just a American, just like you. They are the best!
I for one would welcome such a movement, for several reasons, not the least of which is that, if it is successful in forming a party which runs candidates, those candidates will remove a notable portion of votes from the jackass party.
Too bad Ted Kennedy is gone, he would have been a charter member.

Will they call the founding of their movement the Tequila Sunrise?

The liberal gene is a root cause of a number of unpleasant symptoms, regardless of ethnicity. Stupid is one of them, lack of class is another.

Nothing wrong with that!
