Who cares whether "La Raza" endorses Gonzales.

What does that have to do with anything?

It would be good to hear the AG tell the people how he really feels about the hate group La Raza....

or maybe not.....

Alberto Gonzales served with distinction on the board of directors of one of NCLR’s oldest and most respected affiliates, the Association for the Advancement of Mexican Americans (AAMA) in Houston, Texas.

No more illegal alien apologist from Texas. We have one too many!

The country can not endure this endless flood.

I wonder if you'd be so sanguine about this if a nominee for AG was endorsed by the KKK.

Why would we care if he was?

"Just consider this another GWB step towards the Mexicanization of America "

Showing your irrational fear again janet?

Alberto Gonzales is an American, born in America.

How can he be Mexican?

I guess in your world, not even being legally born in the US makes you an American if your surname is Hispanic.

If this was a Clinton nominee, these people would be screaming the loudest, demanding the impeachment of the President.

It's the very pinnacle of hypocrisy.

The next George Bush might even be hispanic!

That seems to be the plan, and it will be aided by the Bush-approved invasion of America by millions of Mexican illegal aliens, who President Bush claims are conservatives.

Ha! This is great. These guys are now pro-Bush. The libs cannot attack Gonzalez's nomination without pushing their very own 'splinter group' away. hahahah.

Maybe Bush should also appoint a Communist to his cabinet. That would really shut the liberals up.

"No more illegal alien apologist from Texas. We have one too many"

Let's see...

These guys have no clue on where he stands on the issue, but you are calling him an "illegal alien apologist" simply based on his surname and ethnicity...

You just keep proving me right about you.

MALDEF(Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund) Responds to Likely Nomination of White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales to the Position of Attorney General

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 10, 2004

Rachel Estrada
(202) 293-2828, ext. 19

(Washington, D.C.) MALDEF, the nation's premier Latino civil rights organization, released a statement today regarding the likely nomination of White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales to the Cabinet post of Attorney General. Below is the statement released today by Ann Marie Tallman, MALDEF President and General Counsel.

"If confirmed as Attorney General, The Honorable Alberto R. Gonzales would be the first Latino to hold this important Cabinet position. MALDEF is encouraged by President Bush's interest in making this historic appointment, however, MALDEF believes it is important to evaluate each candidate in their totality, regardless of race or ethnicity.

We are currently proceeding with a comprehensive evaluation of Judge Gonzales' record. More information will be made available during the confirmation process that will further inform the public about Mr. Gonzales' views and positions on key civil liberties and civil rights issues.

MALDEF's core mission is to protect and promote the civil rights for the over 40 million Latinos living in the United States. We are profoundly concerned about all aspects of the Attorney General's responsibilities, not only its enforcement and prosecutorial duties but also important due process questions, including right to counsel.

"It has yet to be seen whether or not Gonzales would be the best fit for our community but we are encouraged by this development," said MALDEF President and General Counsel Ann Marie Tallman.

You should try judging people on their merits Joey.

The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., today welcomed President Bush’s nomination of White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales

In about 12 years, it would be no surprise at all to see Bush's nephew running for President with Gonzalez running on the VP ticket.

By 2014, there will be about 55 million illegal aliens in our country. By then our borders will have been all but undermined, and our sovereignty with be a thing of the past. America will be no more.

FYI - The next George Bush is hispanic (his photo is in my prior post). George P. Bush is W's nephew. His mother was born in Mexico. She is married to Governor Jeb Bush. George P. is an attorney who actively campaigned for W. in '04 and served as the youth chairman at the GOP convention.

What are you trying to point out by showing the photo Joey?

Is there something about the photo which makes him less thn American?

While we're at it, let's show the photo in its original context, shall we?

Bush nephew campaigns in Mexico
MEXICO CITY (AP) — President Bush's young, Hispanic nephew and his bride are on the campaign trail — in Mexico, where they are joining the increasingly vigorous battle for the votes of 1 million U.S. citizens living south of the border.

George Prescott Bush — whose father is Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and mother, Columba, is originally from Mexico — arrived late Friday for a four-day tour in support of his uncle's re-election campaign. The trip was paid for by the political nonprofit Republicans Abroad.

So, he was doing something wrong in campaigning for the votes of one million U.S. citizens living in Mexico?

There are over 1 million U.S. citizens residing in Mexico. It made perfect sense to send George P. to represent W in soliciting their votes. Kerry had an active campaign in Mexico too for the same vote base.

The photo is part of Joey's prior post.

That was a sloppy mistake Joey.

Luis, I think the saying "cada loco con su tema" applies to some here. I'm sorry I don't have a translation for it. I've tried, but nothing really works trying to put it into English. It loses something in the translation. I guess it's a pure Latin "thing" (saying).

See post #12. My name is not Joey. I have no problems with this issue. As you can see in post #12, I was being sarcastic.

Gonzales is not pro-abort.

It depends how you interpret some of his legal decisions while he was a judge in Texas. I've seen both arguments. And I've also been stung too often by candidates who proved to be pro-abort after they got on the court. I would love to be proved wrong on this, but those earlier decisions are worrying.

No, but he was absolutely wrong when he told a Mexican crowd that the actions of our Border Patrol trying to keep illegal aliens from "migrating" are "reprehensible".
