I knew that Dupnik depended on the illegal vote, and Grijalva wouldn’t be in office without it, but Obama? Come on…I know he’s in rough shape, but even I didn’t think he was this desperate.
SMH
Please, Bret, present us with the reams of evidence that Grijalva wouldn’t be in office without the “illegal” vote. I didn’t know that the overwhelming numbers of votes he gets from neighborhoods like Blenman Elm and Sam Hughes were due to the high number of “illegals” that live in those places. I guess it’s time for your boy Arpaio to schedule a sweep at Rincon Market.
As for Dupnik, have you actually seen the majorities he piles up in elections? Those are all “illegals”?
Maybe you just throw it out there because you think it’s fun, but it seems there is a contingent in this town who thinks that any time they see Hispanics voting that they must be “illegals.” Maybe you aren’t a racist, but don’t be surprised when people wonder about your thinking here.
Me a racist, huh? OK, let’s review…
I’m not the one engaging in the profiling that gives fodder to stories such as this. I’m not the one who is saying that Hispanics and those of Native ancestry are too stupid to figure out how to get a government issued ID. I’m the one who has said, repeatedly, that stories such as this are wrong (well, the basis for them, not the stories themselves) and that the same rules and standards should apply to everyone across the board, regardless of color.
So, yeah, there’s racists around here definitely…but it ain’t me.
