(Republican) Ken Mehlman did reply to one of the convention's previous speakers, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D, N.Y.).

On Monday, she told the La Raza convention that the Bush administration was not doing enough for Hispanic families.

The Dems are starting to play their own Race Card in the 2006 Election Games . .

======================================

"I don't think the president is a bigot," Howard Dean told reporters at the Convention Center. "But I wish he'd have the courage to stand up to the bigots in his own party."

[Armedanddangerous]

Don't you wonder sometimes how the crazy man decides what to blame W for on a day to day basis?

I've often thought he might have a wheel to spin, like in Wheel of Fortune. "It's wednesday, we have to scare immigrants."

[doc]

Neither party is going to do anything to stem the tide of illegal immigration. What you'll get from Bush, about three months before the 2008 election, is a do nothing response like adding more border patrol agents. Vote Tancredo or the constitution party before it is to late.

Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean speaks at the 2005 National Conference of La Raza in Philadelphia, Tuesday, July 19, 2005. In a growing sign of the clout of the Latino voting bloc, both chairmen of the Democratic and Republican parties spoke at the National Council of La Raza conference Tuesday _ the first such bipartisan appearance at the nation's largest Hispanic civil rights group.

[skeeter]

Gee, Dean sounds alot like one of two characters that like to haunt FR illiegal immigrant threads.

[SwinneySwitch]

"I don't think Howard Dean is crazy, I know it!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

You gotta hand it to Dean. He might be crazy, but on this issue he's playing the GOP like a fiddle.

By saying this, he's trying to split the GOP, make the establishment denounce the grassroots who are fed-up with immigration.

I expect Mehlman to come up with another obligatory wishy-washy "condemnation" of Dean's remarks.

[lilylangtree]

Dippy Dean going after illegals votes. Tried it before FL but it failed. Now trying again for '08.

[kellynla]

Dean has less credibility than a screen door on a submarine. LOL

From what I understand even the 'Rat 2008 candidate for POTUS(you know who I'm talking about) has said that we need to do more about immigration.

Dean like Bubba Clinton before him, has done more for the GOP than anyone. Every time he opens his mouth I can hear the GOP cash register go 'CACHING'....


Semper Fi,

Mehlman needs to stop citing bogus numbers. Bush did not win the 44% of the latino vote reported on election day. That has been thoroughly debunked from both the Right and Left. Subsequent analysis shows that Bush most likely got in the upper 30s to as high as 40%; and while that marks a good improvement over Dole and Bush the Elder, its no better than Reagan's 37% in 1984. Perhaps we should have at least three points to plot on a graph before we declare a trend.

And he should have responded to Dean's demagoguery of two conservative House members. Despite what some think of Tancredo, Mehlman should not have stood for such typical leftist rhetoric that says deviation from the open border/mass immigration line equals bigotry.

And it is a bit disheartening that to win votes we must now brag about how much more we spend. This is of course not limited to attacting Hispanics, as the education bit is trumpted to all groups.

[Carry_Okie]

Keep talking Howard; 80% of America disagrees with you.

The majority of legal Hispanics in this country are sick of illegals too.

[MEGoody]

LOL I can't wait to see how the left trips themselves up trying to 'tackle' the illegal immigration issue for the next Presidential election.

[arnoldpalmerfan]

Howard Dean attacks Cong. Tancredo. Howard Dean supports rewarding illegal aliens with legal status.

All or nearly all of those who attack Cong. Tancredo at Free Republic support reqarding illegal aliens with legal status.

Do I see a pattern?

Of course, Howard Dean and all or nearly all of those who attack Cong. Tancredo at Free Republic don't want the word illegal alien used. They prefer to call an illegal alien an "immigrant."

[KC_Conspirator]

And Dean is known for having absolutely no minorities on his staff and no minority support.

[judgeandjury]

As evidence, Dean cited Rep. Thomas G. Tancredo (R., Colo.), who has called for rounding up illegal immigrants and shipping them back home.

In other words, Tancredo wants our current immigration laws to be enforced.

[BushisTheMan]

I'd vote for a RINO before ever voting for any DemocRAT.

[Das Outsider]

As evidence, Dean cited Rep. Thomas G. Tancredo (R., Colo.), who has called for rounding up illegal immigrants and shipping them back home.

Is the point that Tancredo's statement is extreme? Any sane nation would do this.

Common sense isn't that common after all.

[ManHunter]

So now the babbling idiot is a strategist for the RNC? And he's telling this to La Raza? Has he been tested for mental stability? No - never mind...

[Cultural Jihad]

. . . and Tancredo labeled Dean as being out of the political mainstream.

Fringed Mullah Tancredo should know.

[CyberAnt]

FOX said tonight - govt is looking into forming volunteers to watch the borders. Will be trained and coordinated thru the Border Patrol.

Looks like the message has gotten through and it also looks like the DEMS HAVE LOST ONE MORE ISSUE.
