Although the amnesty proposal itself may have made W's most conservative base "nervous" it'll be KKK Byrd that is remembered by Hispanics for killing the bill that passed the House by a good margin while W looks compassionate to Hispanic facing deportation and the break up of their families.

Spoken like a true RepublicRat!

1)Jorge Bush's pandering to Hispanics is not making the "most conservative base" "nervous." It is alienating the Republican's core base - white men - who are key to winning the small, electoral vote-rich states.

2)Hispanics are not worth courting - they are only 13% of the population, they don't contribute money, they don't vote, they are concentrated in a few states that are - for the most part - not battleground states.

3) Those Hispanics who do vote are traditionally DemocRat voters 2-1. They are not politically savvy and won't remember Byrd voted against their amnesty.

Uh, wrong.
Still, blinded by fear and hate, I see.
