english only. a hearing today on a bill to estaish an official language of the united states. english only. thus barring government employees from ever interacting with or helping nenive citizen with their language unless their native language is english. practically speaking, there is 0% chance this will become law. but the republicans decided to hold this public hearing on it anyway, as matter urgency before leaving town. sure the post office is imploding and it's their fault and we haven't done a farm bill, but we got to get to this important messaging here. we've got to get to this important english only thing. and presumably that means they like the politics in this. they like the messaging in this. >>> the latest latino decisions poll shows president obama beating governor mitt romney by 48 points among latino voters. 48 points. that's the margin. the de facto leader of the republican party is not just less popular with latino voters, he's in are you kidding me territory. the republicans have
