Here's another issue I'm concerned about.
Barely a week has passed since 84 percent of the nation's self-described conservatives cast their ballots for George W. Bush, and already the president and his administration have delivered at least two good, strong, swift kicks in the teeth to the voters who elected him. Speaking in Mexico this week Secretary of State Colin Powell acknowledged that the administration will revive its amnesty plan for illegal aliens, and in Washington Hispanic White House counsel Alberto Gonzales was named as the next attorney general.
Yeah. Keep those Messicans out of the country and out of the government.
The real sentiments of certain posters always bubbles to the top.
If you think that is bad, add this:

WASHINGTON -- White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales succeeded in weakening the government's intervention in the University of Michigan racial preference dispute, but at a potentially heavy personal cost. He increased the difficulty for his friend and patron, George W. Bush, to make him a Supreme Court justice.
The petition in the Michigan case, as it arrived at the White House from Solicitor General Theodore Olson, finally would have placed a president unequivocally against forcing racial diversity on university admissions. Gonzales, who has publicly supported racial preferences, revised the petition. Accepted by the president, it advocates the desirability of government-sponsored diversity if achieved short of quotas.
What do you get when you take amnesty and add affirmative action to it?
1) Bush discussed his plans for temporary worker programs in the debates. If you missed that, and still voted for him, that is your fault.
2) Bush has clearly wanted Alberto Gonzales to move higher since arriving in DC. Again, if you thought he was one to dump friends aside, you voted for the wrong man.
