Early on the Democrats claimed Estrada isn't Hispanic enough. In other words, to them, he is the wrong kind of Hispanic.

Should Republicans turn a deaf ear to the slander that a successful, conservative person from a Spanish speaking country, is not Hispanic?

The Democratic slander is a glass ceiling, puposely designed to hold down conservative Hispanics.

It's a foregone conclusion that, in the future, plenty of hispanics will hold high federal positions.

This is a well-orchestrated plan by the Democrats, who hope to ensure that only liberal Hispanics will dare to aspire to those high positions.

This is from a year ago.

Posted on Fri, May. 03, 2002 A fine judicial nominee (Miguel Estrada)

Rodolfo F. Acuña argues in his April 26 Otherviews column that Miguel Estrada, President Bush's nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, would be a poor choice because he is ''not representative of Latinos.'' [snip]

• ``Estrada does not identify with the struggles or aspirations of most U.S. Latinos. He appears not to have experienced discrimination or unequal educational experiences.''

I have major doubts as to whether nanny is a conservative. He seems like a disruptor, though I could be wrong.

Well that's a shocker - actually what it says to me is the Democrats want to ensure only liberals period will be passed. There is no way you can whitewash the Republicans on this - no way at all.

You know, goodness, I have just been treated to reams of this - yet no one has denied that President Bush has/is courting the HIspanics and please don't every try to tell me his ethnicity had nothing to do with his nomination. There were little whispers here and there - just a dropped line (back when I had TV) before his election that he would most probably get to nominate one or more Supreme Court Judges and he would most likely be nominating the first Hispanic to the court.

Now you can talk all around it - you can scream, rant, attack me - send me a veritable blizzard of pages of his qualifications - but you can't - you just can't deny that the President is playing racial politics - you just can't. "Everybody does it." A reason - but no excuse.
