Seriously? Is there an actual school of thought that says people can become "Hispanic" by learning Spanish and marrying a Mexican?

My question is how did Jeb make this mistake? I don't think it was a mistake per se. He just decided he was Hispanic because of his Hispanic wife and is vying for the Hispanic vote. He had an ulterior motive.

Why don't you post up what the requirements or guidelines are for filling out the form.

Why don't you? As I said, people can lie all they want on those form but it doesn't mean it's the truth.

Not dishonest. Gotta read the rules bud.

1/8th ancestry is enough to qualify on most forms.

If you put out rules that says someone has to be at least 1/8th black for a scholarship and the applicant is 1/8th and looks white.....that's not dishonest, it's the rules you put in place.

We can't know that it was a lie unless we know what the question was now can we?

Since you are claiming it's a lie, then the burden of proof is on you.....now fetch me the questions\rules pertaining to the racial identity box on that form.

Frankly, it seems like you don't know what the form requires\asks yet made the claim that the response was a lie. That makes your position illogical and not well thought out.

How ? This was a voter registration form which laid dormant gathering dust for 6 years.

Does it bother you since you want to attack him for being a conservative white male?
It bothers me he would lie......is he Hispanic? I would not vote for a known liar for President.
