Arab-Americans Unhappy with Republican Party Endorse Ron Paul

Feb 29, 2012 1 Comment by

So Mitt Romney managed to squeeze out a win in Michigan’s primary yesterday. His slim margin of victory over Rick Santorum was so close, that many are calling it a loss. But hey, as they say in sports: a win is a win. Yep, and a win is what Romney needed desperately – at least that’s what the pundits are saying. Speaking of winning and losing, it appears that a certain voting block isn’t happy with the Republican party right now. And you know what? I’m not sure if the party even cares. At this point, they’re banking on the usual bigoted electorate fueled by fear: ignorant knuckle-dragging voters.

According to reports from Voice Of America, Arab-Americans have become disillusioned with the Republican party. My guess is with all the talk of war, terrorism, and the onslaught of anti-Muslim rhetoric, the Republican party could care less whether they lose the Arab-American voting block. What I find ironic (as the following report shows) is that Arab-American leaders have endorsed Ron Paul. I suppose contrary to popular belief, even they are opposed to all the ongoing wars as well:

    I have a hard time understanding why they’d have been supporting ANY Republicans over the last decade or so. 

    But seriously………..many of the people they’re interviewing are completely full of shit or in the very least they’re in denial……it ain’t just a river in Egypt.  When has the Republican party or any Republican for that matter said anything positive about Arabs in the last decade?!?

How Can Zimmerman Be Racist When He Mentored Black Kids, Voted for Obama, & Wears Hoodies?

Okay, so I know you’re asking, “Um, RiPPa, why in the hell would you ask such a question like that when you know good and damn well that Zimmerman is racist?” Well, the truth is, I don’t know whether he is racist or not. The only thing I do know is that he is responsible [...]

Post-Racial Update: Blacks and Hispanics Pay 3 Percent More for Homes

I really don’t feel like saying much on this one. No need for me to go back into the old news about banks taking advantage of minorities — you know, people of color? — which subsequently lead to the ugliest economic meltdown in modern history. Yeah, no need to bring that up when the common [...]

George Lopez: “Romney is a fucking Latino and he won’t admit it.”

In a recent stand-up routine, Lopez shocked the world when he said, [...]

Shouldn’t the Voting Rights Act of 1965 be Obsolete?

Before I get into this one, allow me to say that this morning’s episode of MSNBC’s Up w/ Chris Hayes was epic; it was quite possibly the best episode I’ve watched to date. That in itself says a lot since I’m a huge fan of the show; and, the truth is, the show offers a [...]
