38513.jpgI don’t buy into the whole Latino vote crap. I’m not saying our votes don’t count (I really hope they do on Tuesday) or that we shouldn’t vote. I’m voting and dragging my whole stereotypically large family with me. Pero the “Latino Vote” in McCain airquotes, has become a marketing tool, a publicity stunt, with the Republican and Democrats parading people around with accents, Latin lover looks, or any otherness cred in a sad sad effort to earn our vote. Every election cycle it’s the same thing, and the closer we get to the election, the worse it gets and the sad thing is that some of our own people, fellow Latinos, play along. Blame wanting their additional 15 minutes of fame or poor political educations, pero the fact that some Latinos are willing to straight up sell out and sell the interest of their own people out just so they can take the center ring in the circus we call elections me da verguenza.

So who are some of the worse Latino offenders?


First we have Tito the builder, Joe the Plumber’s only Latino friend, who wears dictator shades and sports the worst accent I have ever heard. Sad thing is he could be my cousin! Muñoz is my abuela’s last name.

Apparently Tito MUÑOZ (learn how to pronounce that damnit) is Colombian who lived the American dream.

Then we have hot but stupid Eduardo Verestegui, the oh so talented actor (sarcasm) now has made a career out of his wife’s uterus, and has come out for McCain and Prop. 8 in Cali. Pero would you base your vote on someone who dances like this? He’s the one in the tank top and later topless.

Yes, there is not such a thing as the “Latino” vote. The US government and mainstream media has put us all together -people who speak Spanish or descend from people who does it- which is a terrible mistake, or an attempt to attack African Americans: “you aint the biggest majority anymore ok?”

Anyways, back to this post- WHO are these two guys? For real!
