More Bad news for Janet Reno.

[concerned about politics]

This doesn't sound good for Mr. Reno.

[E=MC²]

Yet more fallout from the Elian fiasco. I sort of hope the demonrats do prop up reno and run her for governor next year...then the final chapter can be written...BWAHAHAHA.

"I think what has happened is that what keeps popping out is Elián and Janet Reno and, you know, the right- wing fanaticism in the Cuban-American community," Mr. Ferre said this afternoon.

"It is the lock-step blind fanatical rejection of anything not within the purview of what they think is right," he said. "There is no middle ground in the minds of many of these people."

He's such a sweet talker!

[dep]

gee. you get the sense that the new york times isn't happy with the outcome?

well, screw 'em!

go Manny go!

[Torie]

The turnout seemed incredibly low. I don't think the eligible voters viewed this race in Manichean terms. But then I am far from the fray.

''Forty years ago my mother and I arrived as poor immigrants in this city and lived a couple of blocks away," Mr. Diaz said in his acceptance speech at his headquarters in Little Havana. "And 40 years later here I am as mayor of the city. God bless America."------------wow.

I know this question is going to elicit some strong responses but I am going to risk it anyway. Everytime I have seen anything posted on this board about Elian, the position has always been that the boy should have been kept in the US because Cuba is a Communist country. My question is two-fold: first, why not look at it strictly as a custody situation? the mother was dead, the child should be with his father. second, if that had not been the outcome, what precedent would we have set in other situations? A parent could take a child to a communist or Muslim country. Would they be justified to keep an American child and refuse to return the child to a country of infidels? I think to argue Elian should stay in the US no matter what..is short-sighted. I would like to hear some reasoned responses. I am curious why no one has ever brought up the point about the risk we would take with future cases. We would lose our right to argue for the return of American children.

Bump! Now we need to get to work electing Cuban Republican Orlando Sanchez as mayor of houston. www.orlandosanchez.com - i encourage all freepers to donate as much as they can. The RNC's too busy twiddling their thumbs to get involved in this one early on and will probably jump on board last minute when they wake up. But we need financial resources now, not the day before the election.

[KQQL]

Elain won today by 10% or 6000 votes

Elian is getting popular in FL as times passes, because last November he only won the state of FL by 537 votes.

This is bad news for Hino( reno)

[Skybird]

Good news.

Send the city housing code enforcers over to Reno's place; there may be some citations to write.

[Southack]

No, no, no. The NY Times told us last year that there would be a "voter backlash" against non-Democrats for "stealing" the election, so no one could possibly beat the Democratic Party mayoral candidate in a Democratic (voter registration-wise) city.

< SARCASM! >

[Brian_Baldwin]

Super news . . . of course, bad news for Janet Butch Reno who was more interested throwing one little Cuban boy out of the country but letting all the terrorist illegals stay . . .

[Cincinatus' Wife]

The mayoral runoff in Houston has the LIBERAL foaming at the mouth!

Sanchez replies to Brown with attack ad of his own-- Last weekend, Brown started running a television commercial calling Sanchez an extremist who is an ally of Christian right political activist Steven Hotze….. …..Sanchez, a Cuban-American trying to convince Hispanic voters to support him, is running a similar ad on Spanish-language radio stations….. Joe Householder, spokesman for the Brown campaign, said the new Sanchez commercial is validation of "everything we said -- that he's a right-wing extremist." …. "He doesn't offer any proof that what we said is wrong," Householder added. "He just stamps his feet and says, `They're lying.' "…. Hotze, chairman of Conservative Republicans of Harris County, has fought against gay rights and abortion for more than 15 years while urging that government adhere to the moral directives of "biblical Christianity."

Take note JANET RHINO.

[sakic]

This is very similar to how blacks vote in blocs in other cities. It'll be interesting to see the long term effects on Miami.

[Bogey78O]

There is no greater voting bloc than a group of angry people.

[The Right Stuff]

"He's doing what he likes to do, which is divide and confuse."

Typical DummyRAT tactics. Personally, I will be out in force as a Florida FReeper to make sure that Janet El Reno never gets elected governor of this state.

Interesting tidbit - she comes up here occasionally to speak and the local 'RATS NEVER release the info to the paper until AFTERWARDS.

They've been spooked since we FReeped them so successfully in Daytona!
