Sounds like comic actor John Leguizamo pines for a one political party system.
Leguizamo, best known for providing the voice of Sid in four "Ice Age" movies, recently talked to CNN about his political views (http://startingpoint.blogs.cnn.com/2012/09/05/actor-john-leguizamo-on-importanceof-arts-funding-latino-issues-and-why-it-doesnt-make-sense-for-latinos-to-berepublican/). Latin people for Republicans are like roaches for raid, he adds. It doesnt make sense. [Republicans are] not for us. Youre not for my values. Were working class people mostly and blue collar. Were your cops, were your firemen, were your carpenters and the things we need we need to protect our unions, we need to protect our Medicare, we need to protect the working class person. Leguizamo is part of the Creative Coalition, an allegedly nonpartisan group "formed (http://thecreativecoalition.org/about/our-mission/)for the charitable and educational purposes of bringing together artists and entertainers to learn about pressing issues so they can better inform and influence the community and nation." The organization is chock full of far-left performers like Leguizamo, Matthew Modine, Richard Belzer, Adrian Grenier, Richard Schiff and Montel Williams.

John, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt"! My, my, my, Mr. Leguizamo you are officious. We of Latino decent do not prescribe to your lament. By and large we are first and foremost bound by our faith and family values as the core principles that we have not abandoned for centuries. We have witnessed what the Democrat party politicians in this country have done to minorities over the years, robbing them of their self respect and dignity by lording corrupt and morally deprived social programs over their heads creating generations of socioeconomic despair. We have come to this country to give ourselves and our children a better life, where a person can use their GOD given talent to be anything they choose to be and to live free with liberty, dignity and respect. Go peddle your leftist collectivism somewhere else. Viva America!

My brother-in-law is from Mexico. He did not swim the river or get married to be legal. He is conservative all the way and votes for the Republicans. His brother and friends back home are of the same mind set. So what is it that makes the folks north of the border think the Democrats are so great? They were the one who passed poll taxes and built separate bathrooms for the undesirables with Spanish last names.

Excellent analysis. By the nature of conservatism, we tend to reject these tactics as counterproductive to a civilized society. Our ideas are better and they work, which should be enough. But liberals have no ideas that work for society, indeed their vision presupposes the collapse of free society, so tactics are all they have. Thus they will stoop lower, to Jr HS level tactics, to divisiveness, intimidation, and misery to win a debate they can't win on the merits.

Hey, John. Why is it that you think police and firefighters are automatically in a union? Do you know that a great many cops in America aren't in a union? Did you know that the majority of land mass protected by firefighters in America is done by people that don't even get paid? We call them Volunteers. Here's another tip, Johnny: Most of America is pretty much OVER unions, especially public employee unions.
