"He is from Texas."
Please!!!! He may have lived in Texas but he's still a New Englander at heart.
I'm repeating myself, but President Bush got elected in Texas, it matters not where he 'came from', he's a Texas politician.
NO body gets elected in Texas by working in any manner against the mexican 'interests' that have built up there over the past several decades.
What is most irritating to me is that the old Mexican families in Texas, Arizona, etc. are as American as I am (or more). But lax attitudes along the border have allowed others, including university elite liberal racists, to seep in and tilt the scale.
Bush is doing just what we should expect of him - the real issue is what will it take to knock him off of that position. Sadly, it just MIGHT take another hit in the heartland (that cannot be denied) to do it.
Today's quandary: Who ya gonna vote for...Hitlery or some hair ball libertarian?
