[NewCenturions]

I'm tired of Republicans walking on eggshells so not to offend. Ann is always a breath of fresh air. (and, MadIvan, you and Ann have a similar style of humor. I am suprised at your take on all this. Perhaps it's your "proper British gentleman" side?)

Ann and my sense of humour is somewhat different. I wouldn't have called Edwards gay - because it's pretty clear he isn't. What he actually is (an ambulance chasing leech attached to tbe buttocks of the body politic), is bad enough, and indeed, risible enough.

Regards, Ivan

"Imagine how naturalized Hispanic citizens, or even native-born Latinos might feel, at the suggestion that their cousins amount to an “invading army” bent on destroying America"

This is where he and President Bush are flawed. Most Latinos got here by hard work and the long process of naturalization. They see these illegals the same way we do as people breaking the law. They will vote for Republicans if they are for God,Church and the rule of law. The Rhinos would change that and cost more votes then conservatives.
