Martinez took what were once 2-to-1 approval ratings -- the likes of which his Democratic counterpart, Bill Nelson, still has -- and managed to irritate just as many people as he pleased. Even within his own party, a majority of Republicans couldn't bring themselves to give him a thumbs up.
It's hard to blame the poor showing on any one thing from the past three years. There was his unpopular stance for government intervention in the Terri Schiavo case and the way his office was caught trying to politicize the tragedy. There was his immigration stance, his war votes, his agreeing to run the Republican National Committee. He was a veritable cornucopia of controversy, offering something for most everyone to dislike.
Mel's at his best putting people before party

Hannity’s feelings about minorities aren’t exactly reverential and as such he cited HR 2358 which requires the mint to issue coins in commemoration of Native Americans. He did not note that two sponsors were Republicans and that the bill passed the House and Senate on a bipartisan basis. (Comment: for waste of the public’s time and money, see Terry Schiavo!!!) During this last rant, Hannity once again referred to the “congress of the San Francisco Speaker.”
