Contributor Questions Whether Abbott's Message is Reaching Hispanics

Jim,

Greg Abbott has made numerous trips to the valley, reaching out to Hispanic voters.  Commercials featuring his Hispanic mother-in-law play over and over.  


For some reason his message does not seem to connect with Hispanic voters. I saw this picture from his event at Cobbleheads.  I don't think this audience reflects our local demographics.

  2. Under the enlighted lessership of Frank Morris, Hispanic voters are being refered to in the third person in record numbera as he reaches out to touch them with a 40 foot pole.

  3. Who gives a shit. Abbott will win by 10 points. News flash, he does not need the "Hispanic" vote. Texas is a REPUBLICAN state. He should not even bother with Cameron County. Hidalgo County, yes, there are some good Meskins there that understand how the state works.

    1. Who gives a shit is missing a question mark. Illiterate!

    2. Here you go stupid shit, pedantic illiterate. Get a dictionary and look up what rhetorical means!

      A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question that is asked in order to make a point, rather than to elicit an answer.[1] Though classically stated as a proper question, such a rhetorical device may be posed declaratively by implying a question, and therefore may not always require a question mark when written.

    3. A "who gives a shit?" always needs a question mark.

      If you're bragging about a 10 point win, then you have some problems in future elections.

    4. OK asshole, I will take the bait. Explain to me under what grammatical rule "Who gives a shit" always requires a coma when it is obviously a rhetorical question, which requires NO answer.

      Regarding your comment on the 10 point victory, it is flawlessly correct as far as grammar goes. However, logically, it makes no sense whatsoever. What in the hell do future elections, and what elections are you talking about, have to do with a 10 point victory for Abbott. One question to you. Do you not read the polls???

    5. What does a state of extreme unresponsiveness have to do with your alleged rhetorical question?

      Delete
    6. "Do you not read the polls???"

      The number of question marks are a bit excessive. Is this a rhetorical question?

      Delete
    7. "extreme unresponsiveness" This is a classic example of an oxymoron, a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction. I should get paid for this. ... (This is an ellipsis.)

      Delete
    8. Six minutes apart to make it seem like two different anonys. Yes, you should get paid for this. You should Google "extreme unresponsiveness" and "coma" while you're at it, Dreary.

      Delete
    9. Unresponsiveness cannot be extreme because it is without action and an invariable condition. Extreme, by definition, connotes degrees. Try this as a simple example of your error, extreme death. Makes no sense, right? Big words, might require the old dictionary.

    10. A leg is unresponsive when it doesn't kick back the doctor. It is not extremely unresponsive as in the case of a coma.

  4. There were plenty of Hispanics at the event. Unfortunately, we don't count as Hispanics by other Hispanics because we were in the company of Anglos. But if more Hispanics want to come to his event, they are free to do so. Nobody was turned away, and all were welcome.

    What should be said is: why aren't there more Hispanics coming out and meeting General Abbott and being politically active. There is a point where we need to come out of our zones. Those walls had "Latinos 4 Abbott" in several places and anybody saying that the problem is Abbott needs to look at the other part of the equation: where are the Hispanics with the fires in their bellies for change in our cities, counties, state, and nation and why weren't they there today?

    1. Your second paragraph starts with a question but does not have a question mark. Illiterate!

      Delete
    2. We seem to agree that there are plenty of Hispanics. There does seem to be some kind of shortage of question marks.

      Delete
    3. Please qualify "plenty". Are we referring to numerical sufficiency to meet some magical quota, or are you saying that even one more would be too many?

      Delete
  5. Do you know what a "plenty" is? The picture doesn't have a "plenty" of people to claim there were a "plenty of Hispanics."

  6. Signs are not Latinos! Signs are not people! Signs are not voters!

  7. Frankly, I count hispanics as whites. I can't tell the difference in many cases.
    And, Mr Question Mark .... is that the only punctuation mark you know? Please note: there is a question mark at the end of my question.

    1. Hispanics should be capitalized. You need a period after Mr. Please note: ellipsis marks are not your strong suit either.

    5. Is that what you came up with when you thought "WWJD" today? Would he be making comments like you, NoMan trying to embarrass people about deformities? How many scriptural quotes will follow your activities here?

    6. Do you need a blue hanger with those feet? Do you wear a special ribbon for ugly feet awareness?

  9. No message reaches Hispanics unless there is "money" or benefits related. Hispancs are on the public dole and want "benefits" and ""beneifits"...

  11. At whatever time shows up as 11:39 and 11:20 on this blog, one of two very desperate local jokes decided to pick on punctuation and told a "sock" to "stay warm". Either one of them ran out of lawsuits and appeals to file or the other's wife is allowing him on the computer again. LULZ

    When your name is the only punchline needed to get a laugh, calling yourself names like "Archie" is the way to go.

  14. I spot a token Mexican in the crowd. He's the fatty blocking the sunshine in the back, over by the food. KKKascos should invite him to yoga.

    1. Or in your case, when the paper bag is pulled off of your head, eh Stinky? Is that to make it easier for her olfactory senses or is the sight of you the bigger factor? Some would call that Nature's birth control, or in her case, extreme charity.
