Advisors to Bush? And Reagan? What the h*ll?!

[rabscuttle385]

Seriously, wtf is wrong with the GOP?!

[sionnsar]

The GOP has "strategists"? Who knew?

Does it have a "spine" yet?

[cripplecreek]

"would be one more nail in the Republicans' image coffin in terms of Latino voters."

Fine. I've got a spare hammer if they need it.

[TribalPrincess2U]

I’m lost! Is there a space ship shooting beams at us?
Are they laughingly playing games with our minds?

[RinaseaofDs]

This one is easy: Sotomayor is a racist.

[SharpRightTurn]

It’s been abundantly clear for some time that anyone with the tag “Republican strategist” attached to his name is the lowest form of pond life out there.

[Boiling Pots]

But how many white people would it turn off to support her?

Who is more important to the GOP?

[americanophile]

The woman is textbook judicial activist, and an apparent racist as well. In an attempt not to irritate Hispanics (the ones that just overwhelmingly voted for Obama over their best friend, John McCain) some Republicans will probably shy away from criticizing the ‘wise Latina.’ In doing so they will compromise their values for political expedience, which will lose them their base; proving once more that they are useless to everyone. Either stand on principle, or move aside and let someone else.

[spodefly]

Things are working out so well for Republicans these days that they don’t want to rock the boat by offering substantive critique to any hyphen-American ...

[Doogle]

..just the LA TIMES doing their best to “instruct” the GOP on how to handle what they deem a critical vote. We've all heard the rats have all the votes they need.....do they?
I suspect they are worried there may be some blue dogs hanging around and this early attempt at insisting “this is the only way” proves my point.

[calex59]

Hey, folks, this is the LA times, it is as racist as it gets and they are trying to drive a wedge into the GOP and they are trying to shape opinion of our senators. The rank and file Republicans don't care what race or ethnicity she is, she's a left wing whacko and needs to be opposed. This paper names few names of people who actually think we should embrace this idiot for the SCOTUS.

Drive the latino vote from the GOP party? When the hell did we ever have it? Latinos didn't cost us the election RINO chicken sh** republicans did. Personally if they don't fight this appointment, even if they can't stop it, I am through with these turkeys forever, count me as an Independent.

SPOILER ALERT: GOP will ask tough questions, send us letters asking for money, then they will cave, and then in 2010 they will say we have no choice but to vote for them.

[PubliusMM]

Guts! The Pubbies have got to find their guts!

Forget Latino, Latina, whatever. Go for the body of work...
Sotomayor’s body of work will stand or fall on its own (lack of) merit. She is an activist judge who VERY CLEARLY said that the Appeals bench makes policy. She is VERY CLEARLY a racist, based on comments in 2001 in a speech at Berkley.

IF the Pubbies can’t work up the stones to successfully fight this completely unfit nominee, then the party is truly lost.

It’s time to take back the country.

[Sudetenland]

Time for Republicans to stop letting others make their decisions for them. Hispanics don’t like our opposition to a radical Leftist Judge, screw them. Grow a spine Republicans.

[Pilated]

They better unwind their panties and really really look at this choice before getting off the fence.

[Revolting cat!]

White guilt on steroids!

[Pilated]

They better unwind their panties and really really look at this choice before getting off the fence.

[KJC1]

"As a Republican, I would take it that these people are anti-Latino. The worst thing the Republicans can do is oppose her."

Right. Just like being anti-Obama means you hate black people.

This is political extortion.

[TADSLOS]

Buenos Dias, mi Amigos!

[Bigun]

This Republican strategist says that standing up for the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law will attract FAR more votes than not doing so ever could!
