Could this be our next president in 2016? Julian Castro – Mayor of San Antonio Texas – is going to be the keynote speaker at this years Democratic Convention. Past unknown keynote speakers at Democratic Conventions include Barrack Obama and Bill Clinton. Since Jimmy Carter all Democratic presidents were unknown keynote speakers. So – you heard it here first!
OK with me. Bush and Obama proved ANYBODY can buy the lease on the White House, it is an equal opportunity lease after all.
How can this young guy do worse?
That is a question that should never be asked, because soon it will be answered.
Hey, you are that wacky yahoo יהוה? No mas por favor.
Orchi is back from possession and returns as a cup of cappuccino.
Allah and Yahweh stole my avatar.
They are one jealous God.
I am reporting it to the authorities.
Ha ha ha ha. very witty.
If he does become pres imagine Puerto Rico as the 51st state and mexico as the 52st state.
Leave Mexico alone. The one million US citizens living here do not want to be brought back into the US. We like things here the way they are. Yankees stay north of the border and we will stay here.
And then there is this story about another Latino with potential for 2016.

Uh, as someone who was stupid enough to have voted for him (the first time, NOT the second time!), I have to say that he has no potential to be president of the United States of America.
President of the Grinning Stuffed Shirts Who Can’t Keep Their Pants On of America, maybe.
Fucking professional politicians are a scourge in this US of A. Also pissing me off is the blatant use of a rising minority person to lead the demos in their circus to all hail the chief at the 2012 Democratic National Confuction.
Oh well it was inevitable that we’d have a POTUS named CASTRO. By then we’ll be a full-blown Democrat Liberal Commy paradise, right?
bobbo says,
“No New Texans!”
Me like. Sounds like you made a mistake about taxes, but, knowing you I love the sound of that statement. We’ll have to find somebody really powerful for no reason and have him create a, “No New Texans” Pledge, and then blackmail all on the hill to sign the NNTP.
Bah! bobbo stole that one from me, but then I stole it from someone else. This blog is thick with thieves. BTW quote it right…
“Read My Lips..No New Texans!” Just like Bush the Retard Sr. said before he raised taxes.
I stopped using it because I liked Ron Paul.
Oh yea, I forgot about Ron Paul being a Texan. Wasn’t Ross Perot a Texan also. There goes that slogan. Bush was a faux Texan. My better half and I both registered as R’s just to vote for Paul in the primarys.
Still don’t trust Castro and the way he is being propped up as a token, hokey and racist and reminds me of south park. It’s all very transparent now. Check that of the list of promises made.
Too young. Sorry. Maybe 2020, and even then….
Read his bio in the NY Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/09/magazine/09Mayor-t.html
He’s well educated and now well connected. Did he ever have a job in the real world? Or did he just slither into politics.
Demos or TPTB trying to prop up another minority wearing a Latin cultural exterior this time. Slowly the American melting pot is turning a more milk chocolate in color, and damn it if the D’s won’t try to at least VP him.
14 million google search hits as of now.
So this is how the Democrats plan to lose in 2016. Pick I guy named Castro as their candidate. Sure, he’ll have the Cuban American (and illegal immigrant) vote. But that will just get everyone else fired up to vote for the GOP ticket. Which is all both parties really care about. Gettin everybody fired up, and registered. It preserves the two party system, as is. Without any pesky reforms. Only when the voter numbers fall very low, do they pretend to start thinking about reform. But if a controversial issue (such as gay marriages) or candidate, works as well. All the better. So expect to see more BS candidates, in the 2015-6 build up to the primaries. Cheney could be back, or even McCain or Palin.
Glenn said,
“Cheney could be back, or even McCain or Palin.”
You mean Liz, Meghan McCain and Bristol or you jest.
I thought Elizabeth Warren was supposed to be the keynote, or am I mistaken? I’d understand however if they changed it because she has supposedly become a bit toxic at the moment.
After what we’ve seen the last 8 years, if America elects another Democratic POTUS, the human race deserves to go extinct. The entire party platform is more anti-human than anything in history.
Look! Fez is gonna be POTUS
Vote Fez. Ay ay ay ay!

They meant President of Mexico and his brother can be Vice-President. Oh, I almost forgot they can take their mother with them.
Say Allah–is that avatar/graven image of you an anal sphincter, the Big Bang, or a can of draino in action? Shouldn’t you use it only when appearing as wallaway?
Your worldly representations are such a mystery.
Allah and Yahweh are One.
33:10 When they came upon you from above you and from below you, and when eyes grew wild and hearts reached to the throats, and ye were imagining vain thoughts concerning Allah.
33:11 There were the believers sorely tried, and shaken with a mighty shock.
33:12 And when the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, were saying: Allah and His messenger promised us naught but delusion.
I am the Alpha and the Omega.

No you are off your meds. I much enjoyed your founding father quotes, but this other shite has me concerned for your mental health. Maybe you had a epiphany which caused your sudden religiosity? I’m hoping Orchi makes it back to DU unscathed.
Hey–good catch jp. I hadn’t made the connection. Reverence for our Founding Fathers is one thing, the lapse into Hebrew and Contesting Gods quite another.
Hey Orchi===knock it off.
“No New Texans!” //// Certainly deserves an award of some kind.
Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear… Do not be frightened from this inquiry from any fear of its consequences.
If it ends in the belief that there is no God, you will find incitements to virtue in the comfort and pleasantness you feel in its exercise…
– Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President
A classic is a book which people praise and don’t read.
When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.
– Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835-1910)
Scroll up 5 to read reply meant for you bobbo.
I thought you said it first. I’m just repeating what I admire. If not you, then my apology to the originator. It is clever just as you say.
When the state of Tejas returns to the bosom of Mexico, no more worries.
There ya go.
There ya go. Bravo.
