Title: County GOP official removed for remarks
Post by: thundley4 on October 01, 2008, 07:23:34 AM
I guess the truth hurts.  This woman gets the way the Dems work, and wasn't afraid to say it.

The spokeswoman for the Republican Party in Nevada's most populous county was removed from her post Saturday, after she said the Democratic Party made black people "dependent on the government."

Didi Lima, the Clark County GOP communications director, also was removed from her volunteer role as a Hispanic community liaison for Republican John McCain's presidential campaign over the remarks made earlier in the day while working at a McCain campaign booth.

"We don't want (Hispanics) to become the new African-American community," Lima told The Associated Press. "And that's what the Democratic Party is going to do to them, create more programs and give them handouts, food stamps and checks for this and checks for that. We don't want that."

"I'm very much afraid that the Democratic Party is going to do the same thing that they did with the African-American culture and make them all dependent on the government and we don't want that," she said.

A reminder to us all: never EVER tell the unvarnished truth.

Another one who didn't keep quiet.

Republican quits in Hispanic row
A Republican official in the US has resigned over comments he made to the BBC that "Hispanics consider themselves above blacks".
Fernando de Baca, the chairman of the Republican Party in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, also said Hispanics "won't vote for a black president".
snip
He was explaining why he thought John McCain would do well in the state, which has large population of Hispanics.
"The truth is that Hispanics came here as conquerors. African-Americans came here as slaves."
He said the Latino emphasis on hard work and family values and the Catholic Church's opposition to abortion made the community naturally conservative.

Why do Republicans always remove the offenders, but Democrats lionize theirs?

It's one of the amazing double standards between the parties.

The Dems do the same with their criminals.  The bailout fiasco is another prime example of the wolves guarding the henhouse.

Does the name Jefferson ring a bell?  Frank?  Byrd? 

You have never been more wrong in your life on the first comment.  On the latter, you are right -- the democrats caused this mess and yet they think they can clean it up.

If that's the case then why is Ted Kennedy still in office and why did Gerry Studds get a standing ovation after his censure?

If that statement you made were true then Hillary would not be in office over the voting fraud in New Square and Tim Johnson wouldn't have made it to office over the illegal vote rigging on the Indian Reservation in 2002.

Marion Barry can be added to the list. And what crime did Ms. Lima commit, exactly?

I meant that the Dems tend to lionize and defend their criminals, not remove them.

Ah, so - thanks for the clarification.  As Daffy said: "Pronoun Trouble."  (which is one of the funniest lines in all cartoondom)
