Anyway more doom and gloom red meat from the anti-immigrant crowd. If Mr. O'Sullivan's rant was correct Bill Simon would be 20 points behind Gray Davis at the present time(Simon is leading at the present time).

Hispanics are just like other people and will vote against incompetance.

Of course that would mean that Mr. O'Sullivan would have to beleive that Hispancis are like other people, which apparently he doesn't.

unless the Bush administration wakes up to the electoral impact of continuing immigration, the most the GOP can hope for is to slow the pace of its decline.

It's probably already too late

This article has been posted like five times already. O'Sullivan is wrong about Florida, which has NEVER been a solidly Republican state, with the Hispanic vote currently divided between Republican Cubans in Miami and Democratic Puerto Ricans in Orlando, with the latter having come here as citizens, not immigrants.

As a matter of fact, Florida has NEVER reelected a Republican governor, has sent liberals like Lawton Chiles, Bob Graham and Leroy Collins for years and only recently FINALLY elected a Republican legislature.

G.W.'s Hispanic policy -- largely the work of the Virginian Karl Rove -- has not yet been unraveled. It never truly existed. But in that G.W. thinks that his policy is still successfully intact, it does still exist in the questionable mind of the ailing Republican Party. G.W. will in time be like Richard III of England. Instead of saying "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse," G.W. will say: "But my policy! My policy! Why didn't the Hispanics vote like Karl said they would!" G.W. will never figure out what happened. He'll look like GHWB did in 1980, when he lost the NH primary to Reagan and could not figure out what had happened. But it was the "microphone," GHWB.

Being Hispanic in Texas also means being Catholic and being Democrat and being for HIGHER taxation. It's that simple. The Protestant Republicans who favor lower taxes among TX Hispanics are less than 10 percent, maybe less than 7 percent.

Glad to see that that flawed bil failed. Let Georgie explain THAT one to his buddy Vincente Fox.

A win in a primary doesn't necessarily translate into a win at the general election. The Republican strategy to go after Hispanic votes is a good one. They should also go after Asian votes and black votes - but not at the price of compromising Republican philosophy. They should do it by generating moves that draw these groups into the capitalist system and show them their own best interests are served by the Republicans instead of those racial panderers the Democrats.

It may have helped the opponents of 245(i) that the previous week President Fox, in between eloquent appeals for a warm American welcome for Mexican immigrants, had handed back to Castro's secret police the handful of Cubans who had sought asylum in his own embassy.

What a hypocrite... I guess "human rights" only apply to his expatriate countrymen who suffer under the cruel conditions of El Notre.
