Mitt Romney Won Puerto Rico By a Landslide...

Posted by on Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 1:30 PM

...but it was a landslide in a tiny little sandbox, according to Daily Kos:

With 83 percent reporting, about 112,000 Boricua voted in the GOP's presidential primary in Puerto Rico. As I noted last night, Mitt Romney took his victory as proof that he had juice with brown people.

"Those people who don't think Latinos will vote for a Republican need to take a look at Puerto Rico," he said.

Of course, 385,000 voted in a meaningless Democratic primary on the island in 2008 (the June primary came after Obama had clinched a majority of pledged delegates). So if we're going to compare the two, well, there's no comparison

Republicans were expecting as many as 400,000 people to vote in the Republican primary in Puerto Rico over the weekend. The trend of underwhelming Republican turnouts continues.

Here's Santorum enjoying some more poolside time with a lady friend:

I hate to interrupt this fine display of the continuing disintegration of Bailo's personality, but someone should point out that Romney did pretty well out of Puerto Rico, and won more delegates there than Santorum did in the supposedly game-changing Alabama vote.

Romney got the vote by walking around singing:

...some Puerto Rican girls that's just dying to meet you

We're going to bring a case of wine

Hey, let's go mess and fool around, you know, like we used to

I'm still looking for the part where (according to Bailo) SLOG "belittle[d] a people for their ethnicity." I can find absolutely nothing in the words written by Paul that does any such thing.

Nor, for that matter, in the excerpt from the dKos article. Is Bailo referring to the phrase "proof that he had juice with brown people"? Aside from the fact that it's a commentary on Romney's attitudes toward Puerto Ricans, I also note that the dKos article was written by kos himself. That's "kos" as in Markos Moulitsas Zúniga, son of a Salvadoran mother, who spent about half of his childhood in El Salvador (during their civil war).

In other words, that phrase was written by a "brown people".

Private citizen?

Was Rush elected to any public office?

Is he an official spokesman for any party -- other than in his own mind?

Rush is an entertainer, same as Cee Lo.

So, the treatment by both other media outlets, and government officials should be the same.

Hence, why is Obama not condemning Cee Lo?

A singer whose most famous song is Fuck You said fuck??? Clutch the pearls!

Did he yell it at a private citizen expressing his or her opinions? Hmm? I guess Rush still has the Summer's Eve account all sewn up. But SRU, you can have his runoff.

Rush Limbaugh: No media on Cee Lo Green F-bombs?

Why isn’t the media condemning Cee Lo Green for dropping F-bombs at a fundraiser for President Barack Obama? That’s what Rush Limbaugh wanted to know on his radio show Monday.
