His rabbi, Daniel Lapin, strikes me much the same way.
I agree with you. Texas Hispanics gave Bush a split of their vote, a really good split that cost the Rats.
But Tejano Mexicans are a different breed of cat from the majority. They're called "Nortenos" in Mexico, and they're the kind of people who voted for Vicente Fox, more work- and business-oriented. I think Bush has miscalculated. He thinks if he can get a good split of Texas and Florida Hispanics, everything will be cool. He has an education in store for him, the first time he has to run against a Hispanic candidate. And Texas GOP'ers are going to pay the price. -- Which is okay, since so many of them are RINO's now. Bush and his allies have been pushing conservatives out quietly, using money to elbow them out in the primaries.
Yesterday's GOP primary featured an avalanche of glossy mail-out fliers with the word "conservative" plastered all over them -- but many of the voter guides and fliers came from RINO's and their PAC's, and from corrupt political consultants who own their own PAC's and sell endorsements or just flog their own rich-RINO clients.
The Texas Republican Party is coterminous with the Yacht Club wing of the GOP now. Conservatives are being slowly extinguished for RINO, Chamber-of-Commerce values. This has been most obvious where Bush, as governor, pushed hard to wipe out the real, grass-roots conservatives on the state school board, running and backing Education Establishment RINO's against them, who are pushing his continuation of the Clinton/NEA omnium-gatherum education takeover. Which just indicates that the program is bigger than the political parties.
Yeah, all they need is someone with permanent residency to sponsor them. It might as well be that dawg in the Taco Bell commercials, that little mexican chiuauaua that likes tacos to sponsor them.
The INS is not *NOR* has it ever been capable of performing it's job because our Congress is corrupt. And now they will be inundated with 5M applications, some with false checks that the government will honor.

Welcome to FreeRepublic! Do you have a homepage? LOL!
It is interesting though. Medved is really to the right of me on many issues now, although he came from the left, and I from the gentile moderate right. I would love to have dinner with him sometime. We have a common cultural language, but are ships that passed in the night.
Oh man, LOL! This is to good. Right in the 10 ring.
How many of those green cards do you think won't wind up in the voting booth? Come on now, think about it.
Nothing like a little class warfare to spice things up. Yeah that is a real conservative tactic.
When they bounce, they will get the balance from us.
So, where's the beef? What's the difference?
You know, I just don't have any sympathy for people who willingly whip themselves up into a lather and refuse to acknowledge the details of something like this. Your reference to the Taco Bell "dawg" is cute, but I'll just stay here in reality - thanks.
10 points for good form. That takes us to the lightning round. Hands on buzzers please.
