I’d like to welcome our Republican guest blogger HispanicPundit from hispanicpundit.com.
I will let him introduce himself and how he came to his political views, but I want to explain how I first came across his blog. I believe I found this post via Latino Pundit and here was a question I often asked myself: How come Latino voters aren’t more conservative?
I’ll stay away from that discussion for now, but I left a comment on HispanicPundit’s blog which then turned into a short-lived email correspondence about conservativism and liberalism in general. It was an email correspondence I wanted to keep going, but I just didn’t have the time. I’m glad we waited because I think this is going to be a much better place to let that conversation happen.
I will let HispanicPundit introduce himself and delve into whatever issue he wishes to start discussing. He’s a very friendly, thoughtful guy and I hope that you treat him with respect and also challenge his political opinion.
Welcome aboard HP.
Bienvenido, HispanicPundit. I’m looking forward to the discussions over the next month.
David, HP voted for Kerry this election primarily due to Iraq…That was one of the biggest issues in this election. Not that it still won’t be interesting to hear is point, I think we should find someone who voted for Bush in this election.
I take that back — i was reading the worng section
Just a quick clarification HP: Raman is not in the fifth grade. If you can decipher is (lack of) spelling, he’ll probably be making some really good arguments.
oso — speaking of spelling, i think you meant to say “his”
Raman: “Not that it still won’t be interesting to hear is [sic] point”
Oso: “If you can decipher is [sic](lack of) spelling, he’ll probably be making some really good arguments.”
Raman: “i think you meant to say ‘his’”
the irony is so thick you could cut it with a large chainsaw.
Sorry Abogado, obviously you will be making the most (self) important arguments.
Ramone, my apologies, just don’t bitch slap me again ok?
that was a good laugh — helps the time fly at work.
[...] I must admit, I have learned a lot during the discussion, and more importantly, I have made a lot of new friends. I comment so regularly on that blog now that I don’t consider myself to be the ‘Republican guest blogger‘ anymore but a fully accepted member of that blog community. In addition, because Oso lives in the same city as I do, we have been able to go out for drinks and have thoughtful discussions in person, as well as online (he also happened to be in Monterrey, Mexico when I visited, so we met up and he helped me (actually, he did all the work) upgrade my website while I was there).
