Mel Martinez Aims to Turn Around Republican Party

[freekitty]

Could it be that the Republican party is being turned into the Mexican party? Just wondering.

From "Mel Martinez Aims to Turn Around Republican Party":
Adam Segal, director the Hispanic Voter Project at Johns Hopkins University, said Hispanic voters are split over immigration, in particular a temporary guest worker program...The party that can figure out how best to address immigration issues could seal the Latino vote next election, he said.

Mel & Jorge Bush seem to think the best way to appeal to hispanic Americans is to forgive criminals, and to make it easier for law-breakers to stay in the country while simultaneously making it more difficult for immigrants pursuing the legal route to get into the country.

Get a clue guys! Stop pandering to offensive stereotypes.

The best way to appeal to us is to execute the laws already on the books, create a system that better rewards those going thru legal channels while punishing those going through illegal ones, and does not ignore crimes against property or people.

Did you catch this quote from your link?

“We believe that the party that captures and motivates and gets the Hispanic vote to turn out is going to be the party who wins the White House” in 2008, said Brent Wilkes, national executive director of the League of United Latin American Citizens, the nation’s largest and oldest Hispanic rights group.

Brent Wilkes, the Bush Pioneer? Brent Wilkes, the one under indictment in the Duke Cunningham debacle (right before Gonzales fired the US Attorney, Carol Lam). Now he is executive director of LULAC, a group funded by George Soros and the Ford Foundation? This Brent Wilkes is a spokesman for Republican success?
