I’ll be honest, I don’t understand any Hispanic being a Republican. That sentiment is not because I don’t think there are any conservative Hispanics. I, myself, firmly believe in the death penalty and the right to own guns among other things. And I’m not talking about the Democrat that votes for a Republican he considers [...]
Census time is here and the Republicans in Texas are practically drooling in anticipation of the four new districts Texas is likely to get. If the rumors are true they intend to develop two strong Republican districts, one strong Democrat district and one leaning Democrat district. This may sound more-or-less fair to anyone from outside [...]
Leo Vasquez, the Harris County Tax Assessor Collector, was another person who lost in the Republican primary to an Anglo with no name recognition and who did minimal campaigning. He compared his situation to Victor Carrillo but I have to take issue with that. To begin with Vasquez had already upset the more conservative fringe [...]
Victor Carrillo recently learned how welcomed he was in the Republican party. He had previously been appointed to the Railroad Commission here in Texas by Governor Perry. He was the chairman of the three member panel. On Tuesday, Mr. Carrillo was defeated in the Republican primary. Republicans are madly scrambling around trying to explain the [...]
Not that it was a surprise but it is gratifying to have Sonia Sotomayor pass her confirmation hearing. Still everyone needs to bear in mind that only nine Republicans voted for her. Four of those Republicans will not be running for re-election. In other words when they didn’t have to worry about losing their nomination [...]
Wow, talk about same song, second verse and third and fourth, ad infinitum. I am now convinced that the Republicans should be wholeheartedly thanking Sonia Sotomayor for making the wise Latina comment since it is obviously the only possible thing there is to speak about. She has been asked about that comment in so many [...]
We’ve gotten through the second day now and I have to admit that the Republican strategy eludes me. They’ve railed against Obama, they’ve railed against the Democrats for not seating Estrada and they’ve railed against Sonia Sotomayor for various piddly reasons. Quite honestly I think it shows how little they really have that can be [...]
Well, we’ve gotten through day one of the confirmation hearing on Judge Sonia Sotomayor. This was the light-weight day. The only thing that was scheduled to happen today is for each senator to give a brief statement. Depending on what party the senator was affiliated with it was either praise, praise or praise, trash.
What I [...]
I have to admit I was kind of at a loss as to why Republicans were so concerned about Sonia Sotomayor being selected for the Supreme Court. They have even gone so far as to hire the same company that thought up the famous Swift Boat attack against Kerry hoping that company will find a [...]
Needless to say a lot of people were offended with Eric Holder’s comment that we are “a nation of cowards”. He followed this up by saying that we continue to segregate ourselves in our private lives and that we need to discuss issues to be able to get past them. There was more but the [...]
