The Tequila Party?!

No salt, no lime, just Latin Fury...

Early reports are coming in on this Tequila Party - which is essentially an offshoot of the Democratic Party, an ironic nod to the Tea Party AND an A-Team of Latin Politicians. Somewhere out in the deserts of Nevada, just outside the Las Vegas city limits, this kernel has been planted, and plans are being laid. Although the name is a little Daily Show, the idea is pure truth.

This is an important time for the Latin vote as it is gaining considerable steam. Immigration legislation is obviously an important touchstone in that community, and these people don't feel their voices are being represented by the Democratic Party - where they've thrown much of their weight. So the question remains: How and when are they going to rise up and steamroll the Border Patrol? 

So here we are, with a newly minted Tequila Party, a potential Patron Summit and a pending quiver of racial slurs that haven't even been invented yet... Here's what I know will happen: they will change their name from the Tequila Party to something more realistic but opposers will invariably call it the Taco Party no matter what they name it. These truths are self evident. What isn't plainly clear is that this will gain momentum, be branded more so than Obama's run at the White House and eventually spark a new Spanglish TV network (think WB but with mixed language programing).
