I was listening to Rusty Humphries on TRN Internet Radio on Friday. He opened his broadcast with a report (I missed the exact source) that apparently the Republican HDQ has made a (strong) recommendation to candidates to avoid the "illegals" issue completely.

The RNC and GWB are pandering full speed to Hispanics. On the Republican National Committee website is the following report:

Latinos Give High Marks To
George W. Bush;
Agree With Him On The Issues
President job approval rate reaches 68%


WASHINGTON -- A national Hispanic survey conducted by The Latino Coalition (TLC) shows Latino voters overwhelmingly support President George W. Bush and his vision for a promising future for all Americans. The Poll of 1000 Hispanic adults, conducted from Aug 2 – 14, 2002, shows the President’s job approval rate among Latino voters reaching an unprecedented 68%. Among non-registered voters, President Bush enjoys a 74% approval rate. In an impressive show of solidarity Latinos would elect President Bush over Al Gore with a 15-point margin, 50-35%, if the elections were held today. “There is no doubt that Latinos overwhelmingly trust President Bush to speak for them in Washington. Hispanic voters clearly understand who has put forth sound policies to deal with topics from immigration to healthcare. Latinos are taking note of who really works with and for them in the nation’s capital,” said Sharon Castillo, RNC Deputy Communications Director.

The survey shows that:

84% of Latinos approve of the President’s plan to offer a $3000 tax credit to uninsured workers.

73% of Latinos agree with the President that a prescription drug benefits plan should focus on assistance to low-income seniors.

83% of Latinos approve of President Bush’s plan to normalize the status of 3.5 million immigrants through temporary workers program. Latinos give congressional Republicans a 42% job approval rate, a significant 19-point increase from last year.

The Latino Coalition (TLC) survey was conducted by Opiniones Latinas and has a margin of error of +/- 3.1%.

===============================================

Fall in line, sheeple.

The leaders of both political parties are in a contest to see who can out pander the other with regard to Hispanic illegals, other illegals, invisible (i.e., non-existent) borders.

Leaders in both parties are pandering the Sovereignty away. Look for 245(i) Amnesty for Illegals to be back on the table (quietly, of course) before the end of the year.

Funny that this article doesn't mention Latino support for a single fiscally or socially conservative idea.

Just what we needed. A whole new batch of RINOs.

Great Find. If you can get the source from Rusty Humphries for the opening paragrpah, this should be posted on its own!

You got that right. Did you hear the DemocRATs almost stuttering in panic while trying to convince Hispanics not to believe Bush's pro-Hispanic amnesty?

Yep, right after the election. The GOP will try to buy as much time as they can before the 2004 election for memories to dim on this latest upcoming assault on our sovereignty.

Enough is enough. I've made up my mind to sit out this election. So long as Bush and the GOP grovel on the ground for the illegal alien vote I'm not going to reward them with my vote. Truth is that Conservatives have become the classic Battered Wife of the Republican Party.
