"La puerta es abierta, mis amigos!"

I'm getting tired of "hope" as a political buzzword. Hope is a virtue, not a policy. Selling hope is selling snake oil and empty rhetoric. Leave that to the democrats - it's their stock in trade.
Where's the beef?
The beef is what the groups that Martinez is already pandering to will receive......."vowing to reach out to black, Hispanic and "all communities that may have never believed that Republican ideals spoke to them."
The rest of us can 'eat cake'.
Hope is a town in Arkansas.
I guess the Republican leadership don't want to win anymore...
I am a middle class working man of modest means. I wish I were a big contributor to the Republican party though, then I could stop my financial support as a way of showing my unhappiness with them!
Mel is one of my two senators here in Florida.
I see NO difference in the two and i would not have either over for dinner. Both are for amnesty of all illegals.
If President Bush thinks this clown is going to help reinvigorate the Republican party he is sadly wrong.
"La puerta es abierta, mis amigos!"
President Bush does not want to reinvigorate the Republican party, he is more interested in getting amnesty for illegals.
That should have been obvious to all quite a while ago.
How about some outreach to conservatives?
I won't donate a single peso to the RNC.
I won't donate a single peso to the RNC.
Maybe we should all send them one.
Not a bad idea.
You are so right: "I guess the Republican leadership don't want to win anymore..."
After working so many years to get almost to the point that we conservatives wanted - we have people who don't care what the conservatives wanted to do and are willing to throw it so easily away!
This appointment of Martinez really angers me. He obviously doesn't understand - like some other Republicans - that in order to get the minority votes - whether Hispanic or Black - you need to follow a true conservative way and Not waver from it!
Just look at Reagan! Conservatism always works!
That is what those in Washington don't seem to understand!
As I said on another thread, same subject:
There were many good Republicans who could have been chosen. Lt. Gov. Steele, Newt, etc.
It is not amusing having a chairman who reps. the Party
who supports amnesty.
The taxpayers of Southern Calif. and other border areas are paying
For the illegals who get their health, education, food, and also
dealing with their crime rate into the multi, multi Millions of Dollars a year.
My City & Co. San Diego has tens of thousands of illegals.
Those who deny there are millions of illegals in the U.S.
or just laugh it off because they can't face it or say so what
should take into their flyover states some of the
millions of illegals and help support them or your states reimburse
we taxpayers who are forced to pay for this disaster
Also you can help by taking over some of the crime rate we
also put up with.
Better yet vote for a candidate who is proven strong on border issues
not one who jumps onboard in expediency or those who support amnesty.
Day-to-day details of running the Republican National Committee will be left to Mike Duncan, a longtime committee operative.
It sounds to me like Mel is the GOP's token Hispanic in charge of pandering outreach.
Just look at Reagan! Conservatism always works!
That is what those in Washington don't seem to understand!
I think they understand, it's just that conservatism is a 180 from where they want to go.
How about some outreach to conservatives?
Pretty soon, an outreach to conservatives will be an outreach to independents because there won't be any conservatives left in the Republican party.
They are fools to think that illegals will come over and vote Democrat Lite when they can have the real thing.
With an influx of millions of illegal hispanics that the GOP wants to legitimize why shouldn't there be a sense of xenophobia?
There is no equity in the source of immigrants both legal and illegal. Why shouldn't Americans be concerned?
