Because when push comes to shove,they are no different in their core beliefs than the Dims are. They are just more out front about not wanting to personally pay taxes.
Don't let this nomination fool you. It's only for PR and political reasons that both sides are fighting it. It's a dog and pony show they are using to get the party faithful on both sides fired up so they send contributions. We be having a 'lectun next year!
Sadly it seems all about getting votes ---and it's probably not the fault of Mr. Estrada at all. Right away the Republicans begin to claim how this nomination will sew up the Hispanic vote for the elections, Rush has a show where the callers claim to be Hispanics leaving the democrat party because the Republicans finally nominate a Hispanic judge. Of course the Democrats will react negatively ---it looks like a big show and yet the nominee is probably fine and should be chosen.
