I just hope the Republican don't overplay their hand. I watched most of the debate last night and was a bit uncomfortable with how often Senator Hatch kept saying "Hispanic". As if he was tying to say the rats were racist in their rejections of him.

(And please, save the propaganda replys...I don't think the rats are any more racist than any other group in society...They're against this guy because he's conservative. No other reason.)

Exactly and the GOP is playing the race card and should not be

Blacks sure didn't desert the democrats over Thomas . In fact the majority hate him

As if he was tying to say the rats were racist in their rejections of him. Then you must be equally outraged when the DemocRATs call Republicans racist all the time. The RATs claim to care about equal opportunity. They're the self-professing minority number crunchers. Wellllllll....here's a hispanic for them.

This just proves that all the RAT cries of "racism" are ONLY about politics. They want to scare minorities into a RAT voting block. It has worked for a long time but the block is a crumblin'.

According to the RATs, hispanics should get preferences in all their endeavors. So, this candidate is a hispanic. That should give him extra credit with the RATs. He is also plenty qualified -- which is what gives him credit with the Republicans.

No, I don't think Dems are "racist" in the typical sense the media uses the word. But they are racist in that they think minorities cannot advance without THEIR HELP. I agree, the overriding reason they oppose Estrada is because he is a conservative, but Rush is right: they also can't BEAR that Bush would be the first to nominate (successfully) a Hispanic.

Wrongo. They DEFINE people by race. As an operating philosophy. Liberal Democrats are racist, through and through.

Live by the race card, die by the race card. The Dims just look like they may not be getting a pass this time. My heart bleeds.
