Bush only THINKS he can get the Hispanic vote. This is a pet delusion of Karl Rove and various neo-conservative ideologues.

So true. More Hispanics in the state of Texas voted for Gore than Bush. They came out in droves Tuesday to vote for the ultra liberal fascist, Tony Sanchez. They are very enthusiastic over this guy. These same people are going to vote for Dubya over a liberal candidate for President? roflol. I don't think so. lol

Ah, a new resident expert on Texas politics. We had so many already. What a veritable feast of talent is on view in this very neighborhood.

They are slobbering over Sanchez here (which has very high levels of immigrant voters from Mexico). Sanchez creamed Morales in the primaries here ----which wouldn't be likely if there were many conservatives. Sanchez is about as liberal as they come, he's pro-gay, pro-abortion and the Hispanic voters worship him.

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.
