First, Bustamante has never said he was going to do it, nor that he was interested in doing it. The only evidence we have is that he belonged to a radical student organization. He probably joined to figure out a way to study enough to graduate, which, if you didn't remember, was not a notable success.

To be a Nazi, you need to have the temprament to be a nazi. I don't see that as Cruz' role in life.

Unfortunately, that has to be balanced by my gut instinct about the man, which is that he's likely to be easily controlled by people who DO have an evil agenda.

The reality is that there are reasons enough to oppose him vigourously without even bringing up MEChA, which is a painfully divisive issue within the mainstream. I would not be comfortable with him as governor simply because he's a bit dull, easily manipulated and has a plan that consists entirely of special interest giveaways.

End of story, no?

Well, I have no compunction about looking at the MECHa issue - he has/is embracing it and it certainly comes off as having a racist idealology. As you and I discussed before, best that he praises them for the educational opportunities that they provide but he should also make it very clear that he does not support their out-dated philosophy (if it is indeed outdated).

And I happen to agree with your other points, in addition to his taking millions of dollars in what are probably illegal donations from the Indian Tribes.

This guy does not have a very strong moral compass.
