Well, well, well... looks like your guy Mel is the now being tapped for RNC chairman solely because he's the principle author of the Martinez-Hagel amnesty "compromise" and can put a happy face on Bush's ammensy deal.
How would you like your crow served?
And, NO, I didn't assume Martinez was LYING about being "against amnesty" because he was Hispanic, I assumed he was LYING because he's a liberal trail lawyer turned conservative Republican opportunist who was hand-picked by Dubya for this job after spending three years in his cabinent rubber-stamping his policies.
Hope all the freepers who voted for Mel "I'm against amnesty" Martinez will be pleased your new medocire Senator will be RNC chair.
"Our immigration policy should first and foremost ensure the security of our great Nation and those individuals posing a terrorist threat should be prevented from entering our country. That's why I strongly oppose amnesty for illegal aliens. Our immigration laws should not reward lawlessness."

"Border security only, enforcement only -- harshness only, is not the message that I believe America wants to convey...The purpose of the path to citizenship is to bring people into the sunshine of American life"
-- Mel Martinez, Associated Press Interview, November 15, 2006
Yes, Mel, say whatever it takes to get power. John Skerry has taught you well.
