Exactly! The Democrats deserve what is coming to them in every way imaginable. They're heading for extinction like the Whigs in the 1850s. They have nothing to tell Americans as to why they should change except fear. This from the party that once told us we should we had nothing to fear but fear itself. About the only place the Democrats rule the roost is in California and there they are determined to continue the policies the rest of the country has resoundly rejected. It won't save them nationally. The governor of the country's biggest state is toast no matter how much the Los Angeles Times might like to spin away the threat of a recall. Bottom: things ain't looking up for the opposition, only down.

It's important for the GOP to "arm" the defectors in the black and hispanic community to the teeth with political and financial support because they will come under assault by liberal minorities. The latter will use every dirty tactic at their disposal to humilliate and disparage the minority defectors to the Republican party. The GOP's efforts must include trying to get a young black congressman elected and boosting the status of the GOP House Hispanic Caucus.

Many like Mr. Bush's idea for personal Social Security investment accounts and his faith-based initiative to help the needy, much of which will go to black Baptist and evangelical churches.

Unfortunately, Bush's faith based initiative also had a lot of landgrabbing stuff in it. It has little support from property rights groups because of that.

A Democratic filibuster to prevent an up-or-down vote on U.S. Appeals Court nominee Miguel Estrada is also fueling a backlash in the Hispanic and Latino communities.

The news media have given the Estrada story little attention lately but the GOP has been flogging the story for all its worth in the less-visible, under-the-radar Hispanic media.

Yessiree. Latino radio is hearing all about Estrada. I know, I monitor two stations.

Democrats report significant decreases in the homosexual vote, from 10% to less than 1%. First time democrats with at least one abortion are down from 50% to 45%.

In this same report Don Brazil noted that democrat membership in NOW has dropped from 300,000 to a realistic 2500.

The Black Panther Party droped off the poll completely, while the democrat party can no longer count on the Communist Party after the demise of Gus Hall. Angela Davis his VP running mate in 1984 is backing Ralph Nader.

A third or more of labor union rank-and-file are regularly voting Republican and some union surveys suggest the shift is growing, a union campaign strategist told me.

No wonder Algore dropped the gun issue like a hot potato in 2000. The gun owning union members in Ohio and Penna. might have had something to do with that.

That means it no longer has anything relevant to say and is headed toward extinction.

Bwahahahahaha..Sweet!

Can some kind soul please explain the difference between an "Hispanic" and a "Latino" to me?!

"Being Hispanic for us means much more than having a surname," said New Jersey Rep. Bob Menendez, a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. "It means having some relationship with the reality of what it is to live in this country as a Hispanic American."

I think comments like these hurt Dems with minorities, particularly Hispanics.

Free Miguel Estrada!
