Loretta, Tip 1: A big bag full of crap is bad for your back. Tip 2: Jokingly displaying your bag full of superfluous shit to the world is bad for your image.

The simple facts are that as Latinas/Latinos (or any minority in Congress or the Senate) we are always having to work harder to make an impact in society. For Miss Sanchez to have made it to the Halls of Congress is an accomplishment in it of itself: she should use “every day” for good.

You’re right, the purse skit is not a bad thing, but it does show a lack of judgement on her part. Whoever runs against her one day could totally use it and run it over and over and over again on commercials and that would be enough to make her look immature.

You’re also right that Congress is filled with worse individuals that have done, and gotten away with, much more; however, until our country is run by a majority of women things won’t change. Last I checked woman still get paid about .73 cents (plus or minus .10 cents) for every dollar that a man earns. Miss Sanchez should try and make things happen on that front.

Anyhow, not trying to bash on you Anna, just stating that we have to come to grips with the fact that minorities are held to a higher standard. Miss Sanchez should keep that in mind at all times…

I have already said why I object to most of the negative commentary about Sanchez. It’s not based on policy, but on matters that have more to do with her personality, and the fact that she is a single, divorced middle aged women who dates. That’s a no-no for a Mexican-American woman, who by middle age, is supposed to be married with children. The vitriol aimed at her says it all.

Sanchez is a liberal Democrat who votes the right way on all of the issues that are important to me. She’s favors the (now dead) public option, opposes to the war, and opposes the (now passed) sexist Stupak Amendment.

I wish I could say that same about that sexist pig Joe Baca, who voted to strip women, especially poor women, of their right to choose. I saw him give a speech on C-Span and he mumbled and made no sense. He should be voted out.

The Webmaster of this blog has done a great job highlighting concerns about Loretta’s public and private conduct that voters care about. Anna has made it clear that she doesn’t care about the character of our elected leaders. She is entitled to that opinion, and I’m sure she votes that way.

It is clear that “Anna” will always defend Loretta, regardless of the facts. I agree with Anna that Loretta has done some praiseworthy things during her 13 years in office. But she has also made some terrible mistakes. Every time we describe those mistakes, Anna flies into a tirade of denial and charges of sexism. Every person on the planet has a mixed history of good and bad, but not everyone merits a seat in Congress. We can find better Latino leaders who will conduct themselves in a way that makes us proud and inspires confidence. I guess Anna doesn’t think so.
