Thread: Gutierrez says Latinos must break from Democratic Party

Stupid blowhard, the Civil rights movement involed CITIZENS rights, not illegals.


Rep. Gutierrez says Latinos must break from Democrats
By Liz Goodwin liz Goodwin – Thu Dec 2, 11:24 am ET


Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) -- named one of the most influential leaders in a recent Pew Hispanic Center poll -- is urging Latinos to break from the Democratic Party in order to exert more pressure on politicians.

"We need to decouple the movement for comprehensive immigration reform and justice for immigrants from the legislative process and from the Democratic Party process," Gutierrez said in a Brooklyn church meeting, according to the Daily Beast's Bryan Curtis. "They are too linked."

The rhetoric appears to back up talk among Latino leaders of forming a "Tequila Party" -- a separate grass-roots movement that would pressure Democrats much as the tea party has done with Republicans.

Curtis writes that Gutierrez compares the grass-roots movement he is envisioning to the civil rights movement in the 1960s:

"'When black people in this country decided they were going to fight for civil rights and for voting rights, they didn't ask if the majority leader was with them and when they were going to tee up the bill. They said, "We're sitting where we need to sit on the bus! We're integrating this counter! We're going to march!"'

"Gutierrez is pacing around the room and his voice is rising. 'Their actions propelled the nation. It's the way changes are made. Look at John F. Kennedy â€â€

Uh, Luis. Hate to tell you but the black people in this country are CITIZENS, not a bunch of illegal border-hoppers like "your people." Go ahead and march. Go ahead and engage in civil disobedience. Let's see how many of "your people" are arrested and deported.

This loser is going to be debating the DREAM ACT on Hannity tonite on FoxNews

He canceled. Good, I can't stand to watch him lick his teeth and try to talk at the same time.

No, you need to break with the U.S. and go back where you all belong, we are sick of all of you, most of all YOU LUIS! If you love Mexico so much, why don't you go there and take 12 million unwanted criminals with?

Yea and the party should be called the Communist Party.

'Tequila Party' fights for Hispanic community in US
2010-12-04 11:10:00


Tucson (US), Dec 4 (IANS/EFE) The new 'Tequila Party' in the US has ambitions to become a national political movement promoting a platform of initiatives that benefit the Hispanic community, according to one of its prime movers.

Fernando Romero, activist and president of the nonpartisan Nevada-based group Hispanics in Politics, told EFE by phone that the Tequila Party will not be a political party.


It will rather function as a bipartisan movement that promotes a Hispanic agenda, something beyond the intentions of the Republican conservatives of the Tea Party, which has become an influential electoral force.


Though in some places the Tequila Party has been presented as the Hispanics' Tea Party, Romero insists that the movement is trying to promote the principal demands of the Latino community in a bipartisan manner, without leaning either toward the Republicans or the Democrats.


Romero, one of the chief architects of the idea, expressed his annoyance that, after he announced the idea weeks ago, Republicans George Harris and Irma Aguirre presented documents to form the Tequila Party of Nevada.


'They stole my idea,' the activist said, explaining that the Tequila Party in principle will be a movement within the Republican and Democratic parties. Later, local organisations will be established across the US.


'This will obviously take more time than if we had decided to launch it as a new political party nationwide,' said Romero, who has been analysing the possibility of starting a political party for 11 years.


What is important in his opinion is that the initiative continue and grow, though he hasn't lost hope that in the future it could become a 'third option' for Hispanics.


With regard to the couple who registered the name 'Tequila Party of Nevada', Romero said that in the coming weeks he will weigh the possibility of filing suit against them.


The activist said that the idea grew out of the frustration and the feeling that exists among the Hispanic community in the US that both the Democratic Party and the Republicans have forgotten them.


'We saw that after the elections last November, both parties left us Latinos to pick up the pieces,' said Romero, in whose state voters elected its first Hispanic governor, Brian Sandoval.


He said that there was a great deal of disappointment that President Barack Obama did not fulfill his campaign promise of pushing immigration reform, a possibility that looks even more remote now that the Republicans are taking control of the House of Representatives next month.


'I believe that we Hispanics must do something to send a strong message and work for the good of our community across the country,' Romero said.


He said that the movement would function in a way similar to the Tea Party inside the Republican Party, which based its ascent on the dissatisfaction of conservatives with the economy and the growing government deficit.


'We know that in our history there once existed a third party - I'm talking about the Raza Unida Party at the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the '70s - but unfortunately it never got anywhere,' Romero said.
