Bull, it depends on the situation, having lived the majority of my life in So CA, Texas and NM I happen to know,the educated, more conteptory Hispanics, as well, as other minorities do not live at home after they graduate from college. Heck, they get jobs and live with friends, etc (some living at home, just like any other culture). They are not trying to insult any group, but those who love to play the race card will continue to spead these rumors. My own Hispanic grandson in law never lived at home a day after he left for college,not even summers. Nor did his sister or brother. His younger sister has from time to time, but she didn't go to college either.

BTW, I will be anxious to see if the convention next week has so many wonderful, successful, minorities, as speakers. The Republicans had Indian American (female I will add) Hispanics, blacks, one being a black female Mormon and a female Hispanic governor...BTW, Mia Love was very impressive...

Of course we know how impressive one speaker at the Democrat convension will be: she is speaking on free birth control pills for all women. wow, what an important issue...!!!!!!

LMAO @ Shady Mitt and his '12 million jobs' pledge last night

Uh, Shady, when you were top dog in Mass., the state ranked 47TH OUT OF 50 in JOBS GROWTH at the end of your four year term.

Just PATHETIC, to say the least

And now we're supposed to believe that you have some great plan to create no less than 250,000 jobs per month over the next four years.

LMAO ... you're even further removed from REALITY than your rookie running mate.

Please take that BULLSH*T down the road...

Oh. Right. I guess Ann Romney opening her speech with a moment of silence for all in Isaac's path didn't count.

14-15 million is what the CBO projects no matter who is elected. It could be less if impacted by the application of the bipartisan Sequestration Law. And apparently per Romney, less if he is elected.

That's Obama's excuse for actually becoming the complete and total failure he is? Pretty lame.

"Wahhh, Mitch McConnell and the mean old Rush Limbaugh said they hope I fail. It's all their fault that I'm an even worse President than Jimmy Carter "

Usually, when I want to SUCCEED at something, I will work extra hard to prove any naysayers wrong.

FORE!

you may want to try and figure out why the 47th out of 50. And you may want to get the true and whole story. You are taking part truths, spinning and yet, claiming others are doing this...

The other part I found disturbing was the run up to what appeared to be war drums.

We can put 12 million people to work, fighting China. Scary stuff.

All of there shenanigans at the convention this year, their delegate suppression, their cheating, their magical rules changes, etc. all of that wasn't for this year. Mittens had the most delegates and would have likely survived a floor fight, but it was for the future. They want to eliminate the chance that anyone other than their handpicked do-boy can get selected. It's the suppression of grassroots in the RNC.

Also you can "bleat" about "failed demigods" all you want but at the end of the day the GOP needs us "Paulistas" to win. This is going to be a turnout election and the margin of victory will be razor thin. So I hope the GOP is happy when the "Paulbots" sit this one out and they don't win their precious Presidency. In fact I'm hoping they lose soundly.
I've always said that the Paulbots only cared about one thing: getting a second term for Obama.

Thanks for proving me right again.
