THis is just a liberal rag trying to get Republicans fighting each other.
Sure, Mel is a dork and is out of touch with his own constiuency, but he doesn’t “chide” or “take a swipe at” as the article claims. THE PAPER claims he said Roody and Mitt “mischaracterized” the immigrant bill but what were their actual words? Don’t trust this rag.
We’re going to be seeing more and more of these types of articles trying to fracture Republican and independent support for those on the right.
Hey Mel.....BUILD THE WALL. That;s the answer to ILLEGAL immigration!

“THis is just a liberal rag trying to get Republicans fighting each other.”
Maybe so but Mel has been pushing against the base on this issue for a long time. No liberal rag has made him do that.
No, he won’t, because Florida is a Third World hell hole and Latin American political customs and rules now apply. Think banana republic, and I don’t mean that cheap clothing store. I would bet that there are now as many illegals in Miami-Dade County than legals, not to mention the jihad contingent.
This is the only remark on the subject of immigration that Mel has made that I agree with.
The RNC passed a resolution calling on Republican candidates to embrace enforcement of our Immigration laws. The Republicans blocked the Amnesty plan and I had written them a $1000.00 check to mail off today... then I read this story this morning and tore the check up. I also wrote Mike Duncan a letter explaining this and suggested that perhaps they could get illegal invaders to donate funds to them... and I also told him that they must get rid of Mel if they want any $$$$$$$$$ from me again... EVER!

Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida, President Bush's handpicked choice for party chairman, chided former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani for opposing and mischaracterizing the Senate immigration bill Mr. Martinez helped craft. "It's about leading on the tough issues," Mr. Martinez told the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce in comments first reported in yesterday's St. Petersburg... |

the GOP starts threatening candidats they are finished for a generation. F.Thompson better take heed.
It is not a question of a malcontents, it is a question of why bother if republicans are going to do amnesty identical to democrats.
Mel Martinez MUST GO!!!!
Perhaps it is time for a FReep but who do we email? Does the GOP have a governing board?
The amnesty expert Mel Martinez reading the riot act to anyone on the proper role for government on immigration policy for illegals is a sick joke. Rooty Toot is a two face liar and has always supported comprehensive liberal immigration reform. Romney seems to be on the right track on this issue.
I give the GOP a fair sized portion of the blame for the behavior of the democrats. The GOP used to act as an anchor on the right that prevented the democrats from getting too far out there on the left.
These days the GOP acts more like a stray dog picking up scraps as they follow the democrats ever leftward.
ppping....
maybe the top GOP candidates dont’ agree with Mel on immigration....
This is a fake argument.
Guilaini (who just said he supports path to citizenship amnesty) and Romney have tip toed around this issue.
Martinez is trying to give cover to the top two because they are the weakest on immigration. (McCain is DOA)
Think banana republic, and I don’t mean that cheap clothing store
...I WISH it were still a cheap clothing store. At least then I KNEW where to get a pithe helmet in downtown S.F
Now it seems to be nothing but high-end “professional” clothes for the terminally skinny.
“You are a one termer. It’s not totally your fault, your patron promoted you way over your head. He does that with people he likes.”
So true. I just want Bush and Mel to GO AWAY!
Bring on the FRED!
Someone put it beautifully to me the other day — “it used to be about serving the public. Then it became a career. Now it’s about nothing but power - it must seem an incredible inconvenience to them to have to deign to deal with the masses to solicit votes from us every two or six years.”
It was nice when we fought back last month and reminded these jerks who was both - on BOTH sides of the aisle.
I think Mel Martinez was appointed head of the RNC to outreach to Hispanic voters.
After this immigration bill mess, we may need Mel Martinez’s help more than ever.
40% of the hispanics voted GOP in 2004 in 2006 the number had dropped to 10%.
Folks we need to get those votes back to win the White House and Congress again.
