It's probably part of President Bush's PC plan to maintain the "diversity" of his cabinet.

That argument carries little weight.

...What has he done wrong,... Where have you been?

And Mineta makes those decisions huh? You believe that? Cabinet Secretaries can recommend but they implement the policies of the President and nothing as controverial as profiling or not profiling is going to be decided on until the President agrees.

Not only that, but it isn't true.

Once again, facts must NEVER get in the way of accusations. It doesn't fit into the Bush-Bashers template.

Mineta being a Clinton holdover just doesn't cut the mustard.

Mineta was not a Clinton holdover. He was first appointed as a cabinet secretary by Bush.

Sorry, Dave. Mineta has a mouth and he uses it against the borders of the USA. Of course Bush II is complicit, but what are we to do?

Mineta is by far the more pro-destruction of US borders. All we can do is to keep harping at the White House, our congressrats and praying to God that this "Republic" can manage to get through thie past 40 years of utter socialist nonsense without complete destruction.

Well, Dave. You're right. He merely acts like a Clinton holdover.

Yep, I know, that's why I was throwing their argument back in their face.

Since when did the Department of Transportation get the job of controlling the borders? That's a new one on me.

You have to watch what the administration does, rather than listen to what it says.

I understand your point but, maybe, there should be a different argument, as this is the way we also had to handle the old Soviet Union.

Sorry, Mr. Mineta. I was only referring to the comments you made in respect to the Southern borders of the USA and what should be done to illegal aliens.

(Nothing.)

OK, fine, don't answer the question, typical fare of knee-jerk FReepers. Mr. Mineta can say all he wants about the southern border and what can be done about illegal aliens, and that's it. It's not his job to oversee the borders, because it's not the job of DOT.

Hey, I agree he is bad, but the devil you know is sometimes better than the devil you don't know.

< snip >

President Bush needs a token Democrat in the cabinet, M'nta is better than Albright or some other liberal talking fool.

Wow. It seems that some FReepers don't even bother with adding the water anymore - they're just snorting lines of Koolaid right out of the package.

Mineta's an ass. He needs to be gone yesterday, and we need some rationality injected into TSA now, before the airline industry collapses. And no, we don't need any 'Rats, not anywhere.

>> The Illinois Republicans sure seemed to think it had alot to do with it, at least thats what many told me. Matter of fact, that's why they encouraged him to change residency and run, all because of his ideology. <<

Really? What other "Illinois Republicans" have you spoken with?

I maintain the Chicagoland chapter for Free Republic and if there's one thing all of u agree on, there were a number of hardcore conservatives IN Illinois who interviewed with the SCC, it's just that none of them had an name recognition.

Check the 2004 Illinois primary candidates and you will find a guy named Jonathan Wright who is ideologically identical to Keyes. If they wanted a conservative "purist" they would have simply went with him. He was from Illinois, had already ran for the U.S. Senate, and had a base of support as the only downstate candidate.

Obama had become a national celebrity and was an articulate black politician. The Illinois GOP wanted an equally articulate black politician who was a national celebrity. Unfortunately we didn't have ANYONE in this state who fit that profile at the time. So they looked to Maryland and Alan Keyes. We did get some great debates between the two, but obviously if an in-state candidate couldn't beat Obama, there was no way anyone else could do it.

Even I could have told you that. But you ran Keyes anyway.

Matter of fact I was saying that in the Obama/Keyes threads all Summer long from many Illinois FReepers. I even took some flak for saying what exactly what you said. Now the job of running a Republican against Obama will be ten times as hard, because Obama will have put some experience and national recognition under his belt.

What does this mean in this context?

Nice vocabulary you have there. Might want to go back and play in your sandbox till you grow up. If you can't back something up with facts you revert to name calling, wonder who that reminds me of.
