"That was an issue for me in deciding how to vote," says Oscar Avila, an activist in the local Honduran community. The Senator's support for Mr. Estrada "led a lot of people here to vote for her. Now we feel betrayed."

Screw 'em! If that's the only reason they voted for her, too bad. Try voting for a set of ideas next time instead of a single issue.

What is looming is that while we're gleeful over this hurting the RATS, we're starting to play the same ethnicmindful games they play. What's going to happen when the next Hispanic comes along who is liberal and we oppose him, say a pro-choice RINO who mounts a primary challenge? All our public carping about RAT betrayal of Hispanics is going to come back to bite us big time in the behind.

At this point, we need to move off the ethnic routine and concentrate on the man, instead. The content of his character is far and away more important and worthy of support than his ethnicity. He has a tremendous amount going for him no matter if he were polka dot.

FREEPers, I have created the ultimate Estrada activism thread. On it you will find ways to contact Senators, newsspapers, radio/tv people, organizations etc. Go there and help support Estrada. Keep the thread bumped until we get him confirmed.
