I asked the question first Dane. Are you in Arizona?

No I do not live In Arizona, now answer the question of do you think it was correct for the DNC to butt in for Graf and Graf not denouncing that indirect cash infusion from the party of nancy pelosi.

Hell will probably freeze over before I get an answer from you.

OK, I'll answer. Yes, I think it's fine for him not to denouce the DNC ads, especially after the RNCC stabbed him in the back. Why should he denounce them? If they weren't aimed at him, it's not his fight.

BTW Dane, you really should put something on your about page or people are liable to think your some registered democrat from Georgia, LOL!

Dane, what do you think of hispanics overwhelmingly declaring they are against the War on Terror? I wonder what the president thinks about it.


Latinos in the US take Strong Anti-War Stand

Los Angeles, Sep 12 (Prensa Latina) The Latino Congreso held in this city from September 6-10 took a strong anti-war stand and was a sequel of the massive mobilizations of Latinos this spring in defense of immigrant rights, said Medea Benjamin of CommonDreams.org.

Cofounder of the human rights group Global Exchange and the peace group CODEPINK, Benjamin said that Mayor Antonio Villarraigos and a numerous Latino Congresspeople greeted the over 1,600 participants, who represented a diversity of labor, student, environmental, health and community development groups.

The convention was organized by some of the largest Latino advocacy groups in the nation, including the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), the William C. Velásquez Institute and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC).

Although war in Iraq was not high on the agenda, the first resolution to come up for discussion was an anti-war resolution proposed by Rosalio Muñoz, coordinator of a group called Latinos for Peace and a veteran of the Chicano Moratorium against the war in Vietnam.

The text, says Medea, represented a radical position for a Congress sponsored mainly by organizations that have never taken a public stand on the war, in part because many of their members are military families and they don’t want to appear disrespectful to the soldiers.

Entitled “US Withdrawal from Iraq War”, it condemned the aggressive recruitment of Latino youth into the military, the spending of billions on war instead of much-needed community services, and the post-9/11 racial profiling that has hurt all people of color. It called for a withdrawal of troops from Iraq and a foreign policy focused on diplomacy and peaceful development.

“Polls show that 70% of Latinos oppose this disastrous war,” said Muñoz, “but few Latinos have been speaking out. It’s time for that to change.”

Amendments were proposed from the floor to make the resolution even stronger, like calling on elected Latino officials to take leadership in promoting legislation to bring the troops home.

To the surprise of even Muñoz, not one delegate spoke out against the resolution, and when the voice vote occurred, a lone “nay” was overwhelmed by a sea of emphatic “ayes.”(snip)
