Now, he's really gone too far.
Republican Party Chairman and Florida U.S. Senator Mel Martinez needs to get out of politics before he single-handedly (well, actually with the help of President George W. Bush and other Senators like Jon Kyl) destroys the Republican Party forever.
Today's Wall Street Journal Washington Wire reports that--despite the GOP's jilted lover stalking of the Hispanic vote (including such tactics as the Illegal Alien Amnesty Bill)--more Hispanics than ever identify themselves as Democrats rather than Republicans. A new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll finds that they identify 51% to 21% as Democrats to Republicans.
But, instead of facing the music that open borders advocacy doesn't help the GOP even from a pragmatic, vote-whoring point of view, Martinez instead BLAMES America for "past foreign interventions in Latin American countries" for the downward decline in Hispanic GOP identification. And, Martinez maintains, "a skillful 2008 Republican candidate can recover.
Sandinista, er . . . GOP Chairman, Senator Mel Martinez
HUH?????!!!!! Ronald Reagan is turning over in his grave . . . again.
The last American "foreign intervention in Latin America" was when we supported the Nicaraguan Freedom Fighters--the Contras--against the Communist tyranny of the Sandinistas, headed by Gucci-glasses, pre-Lasik Daniel Ortega. We need to "recover" from that?!
If only we had listened to Oliver North in Nicaragua's elections, last year, and had another "foreign intervention in Latin America." But we did not, and Daniel Ortega (now Lasik-ed) has returned to power.
And, guess what? Our lack of "foreign intervention in Latin America," this time around, didn't help the GOP, Senor Martinez.
But it did lead to this . . .
Mr. Martinez, time for you to say Adios . . . before the rest of America says Adios to you and your party.
Oh, and by the way, that same Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll showed that fewer than 30% of members of both parties--the GOP and the Democrats--call the Senate immigration amnesty bill "acceptable."
Like I said, take the hint, Mr. Martinez. Say bye-bye. Please.

Mel does not have an easily IDed face for ‘Toons
that’s some nasty stuff there, Phil....couldn’t bring myself to read it all. Disgusting pig he is.
"I oppose amnesty for illegal aliens. I support a plan that matches workers with needy employers without providing a path to citizenship." - Mel Martinez Mel Martinez website 2004 http://tinyurl.com/jn6mw
nthompsonwhitehouse, just so you know, my wife came here from South America (Peru) and is convinced that the Republican party is being deliberately torpedoed by you Beltway denizens with the, "Let them eat cake" attitude.
If this capitulation of our standards is passed, the party will be sucking hind tit next election. Count on it. It's obvious you weren't talking to real people until you came here. More people than you can imagine will lose ALL of that "fire in the belly" for the likes of Mel, Trent and the gang.

Amen bro. I've really been trying NOT to think along those lines. Let's hope enough senators vote it down and start at step one. (closing the border)

I came to understand that Daniel Ortega’s actions put in question his ethical character and personal honesty. This is something my fellow workers emphasized. For the first time I started to have a crisis of conscience.In 1987 I came to understand the two faces of the Revolution. The first was that face mystical and mythic which was projected to the membership through political education. The second face was the reality of the practices of power from the state institutions which manifested corruption and dishonest acts that had nothing to do with what was being preached to the Sandinista masses.
All the inconsistencies observed in the Ministry of Foreign Relations brought me to review my own surroundings, and I understood that many of the criticisms I heard had to do with my family. This prompted me to critically examine everything in my life. I discovered that the Revolution was not perfect.
The left creates current nightmares on a par with that of Winston and Julia chronicled by Eric Blair/George Orwell.
On top of the 100 million murdered per The Black Book of Communism, there are millions of evil landscapes created in the darkness rationalized by dogma.
We continue to fight for the light, the right of the individual which comes from the Creator.
The romanticizing of the Daniel Ortegas, Mao Tse-tungs, Che Guevaras et al shall always be met by iconoclasts who rip the mask, reveal the monster.

bumping that, Phil!
Rep. Adam Putnam would make a PERFECT replacement for the ONE TERM WONDER - MEL MARTINEZ !!
Now who can we get to replace the CLOWN of a Governor that we have ?? Actually, the clown might be a ONE TERM WONDER too ....if Florida should get just one major hurricane !!
That should send the clown to the Middle East for good !!
Do they NOT get infected from 'WASHINGTINITIS" or "WashingtoniansBrainSplashing"???
Truly deceitful, and disgraceful.
MARTINEZ STATEMENT ON STATUS OF BORDER SECURITY AND IMMIGRATION REFORM BILL
June 8, 2007 - Washington - U.S. Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) last night made the following comments following the Senate’s failure to conclude debate on the border security and immigration reform bill. Senator Martinez voted in favor of bringing the debate to a conclusion. The vote failed 45 to 50.
“Today the U.S. Senate bipartisanly failed the American people.
“I share in the disappointment of my colleagues that we were not able to move forward on this bill tonight. I hope those who have criticized this effort will take the responsibility of advancing an idea for doing something other than tearing down the ideas that have been put together and brought forth.
“This is a challenge I will not shrink from and I will continue to do all I can to see that we tackle this very difficult problem that our nation faces. I remain committed to reform because we owe it to the American people.”
The U.S.A is the last hope for freedom and justice in the world .
Here is how they hope to destroy the U.S. and with it freedom:
Liberals,Democrats and Bush want to turn the U.S.A into a socialist Venezuela or a 3rd world country with the passage of this Amnesty bill:
From the Washington Times: Amnesty Bill permits 193 million more aliens from the 3rd world
This is basically the same bill.
It still gives amnesty and the vote to 200 milion 3rd, illiterate 3rd world people.
This is so they can take our jobs, benefits, prosperity, land,liberty and country away.This country is our property.
