Yeah, most politicans have their hypocritical moments, though some more than others.

I gotta say it sounds pretty bad to my ears and I haven't ever studied spanish, but that's a pretty raw mangling of the language to me. mischief

Amateur mistake.

All he had to do was make sure that at the beginning of the message he said something like, "My mastery of Spanish is poor, but I wanted to apologize in Spanish to ensure you I was sincere, and that it is in fact me apologizing, from the heart" or some such drivel.

As it is, it just looks smug.

It may hurt him in Florida, the only state where Hispanic people vote Republican frequently. Other than that it probably got him a standing ovation in most RWN homes.

He made many racial condescending slips like this. So many, that one can only conclude he has personal resentment towards minorities.

Spanish certainly isn't a ghetto language. I am currently starting the process of learning it officially at Penn State and have pushed both of my kids to take it as a major subject all 4 years of high school. The reality is if you speak both English and Spanish you will get paid more and will in many cases get the job over someone with otherwise equal credentials.

Doesn't change the fact that our country needs a base standard language that all citizens should use and that immigrants should be expected to learn even if that means government assistance in the form of classes.

Well I was imagining in a funny way of the partisan left having a stroke.
Well I was also imagining in a funny way of our enemies freaking out.
Then I was imagining in a serious way of our allies pulling back from us.
Then I was also imagining in a serious way how much damage he could do to our country internationally.

Then I was imagining what an utter disaster he would be for us.


Anyways that was my point of my post.

My wife enjoys her ESL history class the most because the majority of the kids in them have parents who appreciate the opportunity and place a high emphasis on the value of education, so they generally are more engaged and make a better effort than American students. The downside is that it costs the district an enormous amount of money to provide them special services, especially people fluent in their native language to act as individual translators on state tests.

I'm not a Gingrich fan but I hate people not thinking about what he is saying. The guy is very smart but fails to explain himself at times. What he is saying is that people without English skills will mostly be in low end jobs. If not for the terminally stupid trying to adapt to the illegals instead of having them adept to us this point would be clear. Yes, it is important to learn a second language but that goes double for people that don't speak English.

The question is whether or not the Hispanic community is aware of it, or at least if they will be by next Tuesday. Also whether or not a large enough contingent of Hispanics participate in the primary to make a difference. The most recent polling shows Gingrich has taken a lead in Florida, and it's a large enough margin that this may blow over.

Cuban Republicans tend to be big-business establishment types so they're probably voting for Romney anyhow. So I'm not sure he has anything to lose.

In this way, Gingrich is really smart. The guy is trying to win the GOP nomination. To do that he needs to drive the far right to the polls to vote for him. This will help win a few votes and cost him nothing.

What does any of that have to do with the fact that the US doesn't have an official language?

If you want to live in a country that has English as it's official language, move to Singapore for eff sakes.

If you think about it Democrats being against people learning English makes sense. Not learning English will make their life hard with fewer choices. It also makes a better chance of being ignorance. In other words a Democrat voting block.
