Good try - I am not the one comparing it to a handout the Republicans are. I have been voicing this same thought since this first came up. I am not the one who has called the Democrats racists because they are sticking to their usual liberal politics (as bad as they are). That has been done by Republicans on here and spokespersons for the party.
All of your talk sounds really good, but the truth is that people tend to vote in blocks. Like it or not, but there has to be a plan to make inroads into the Hispanic voting bock. Aside from the Cubans in Miami, they are dems, lock, stock and barrel.
So we are going to become another Democratic party who has blocks of people wanting goodies and we will have to continually give more and more to those blocks because they have 'group issues'. Now my group is America and what is best to keep this country as a free, sovereign, working nation - who is going to represent my interests.
The democrats have the blacks sewed up so the Republicans are going to sell the farm to get a 'group'? That is destructive - very destructive. You might win an election - but what have you won? What have you won?
You win people, and you educate them on the idea that people can be self-sufficient. Tax cuts are for everyone in the GOP, not just the rich, or the poor. Tax cuts revive the economy and create jobs. See the difference? See the difference?
What has been sold? Name specific things. This is about appointing a highly qualified man to the federal bench, and you can only throw out unqualified statements. He seems conservative enough that the dems are opposing him.
Is President Bush pandering by learning and using the Spanish language>? Is he selling you out with that, too?
