The clothing is cheap, in both senses of the word. It is badly made. It fits me fine and looks good the first time I wear it, but does not stand up to laundering or dry cleaning. Substandard fabric, zippers die an early death, buttons pop off, seams not properly finished. Back to Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s. Sorry about your dwindling pithe helmet supplies. That must ruin your safaris!
I’m sick of open-borders traitors in my own party.
Let'em find someone who can appeal to Hispanic's without supporting amnesty and continued invasion over our wide open borders. Martinez has a pretty solid conservative record on many isues, just on the immigration reform issue. Kick the bum out!
Mel is a dishonest loser, somebody who lied big time to the voters.
We can only do so much , short of violence! Sugestion, I return all envelopes that are addressed back to any Repub. Org. that sends me a dunning letter. I shred what they send(requests for money/or questionaire)and retun it in their envelopes, that have prepaid postage. Also you can e-mail short and contrite messages to all of their offices. Let THEM know you are aware of their POSITIONS when they are not yours!!!SENOR MEL, VAMOOSE!!!!!
The return postage paid thing is old hat.
We need to be louder with regards to Mel.
He may be outreach to hispanics but his is burning the core.
I’m not as charged up about immigration issues as most here are, but I think Mel should resign from position of RNC chairman. We don’t need him attacking our candidates.
“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.”
That’s the kind of thinking that lost the Republicans the House and Senate.
The “do anything for votes” crowd is the one that has the party where it’s at today and it’s gonna take a purge of these types before we will ever get back the confidence of conservatives. Getting rid of the open border RHINOS will be a good start.
Bush appointed this guy without any thought of what it would do to the Pubbies.
Correction.........Bush appointed this guy to help push BUSH’S open border/amnesty proposal through.
Yes, and it's sad he's the head of the RNC. But he is a lightening rod for controversy and the media will pick up anything he says to get conservatives and republicans going at each other. It's "divide and conquer."
Having said that, I see the guy for what he is--a RINO at best. He's one of my senators and I've sent him a copious amount of e-mails lately. It really pisses me off that I voted for the guy and I told his staffers just that. I'll be working hard to defeat him when his term is up.
You are either on the team or not, he is a liability.
Yep. See post 51.
This is why he shouldn’t be on the RNC, he doesn’t represent actual Republicans. I don’t know that he actually represents actual Cuban Americans, at least none that I know.
“He may be outreach to hispanics but his is burning the core.”
The idea that legal Hispanics want a open border and amnesty is a falsehood promoted by open border Republicans whom like the Dems, will do anything for votes.
The way to get conservative Hispanics and Blacks to vote for Republivans is to uphold conservative beliefs.....no matter what the cost.
Securing the border and and no amnesty stance is very popular among many “legal” Hispanics and blacks.
With Rove gone and Bush soon out, I hope the RNC will purge Mel and will no longer put votes above principle.
‘Sen. Mel Martinez, the head of the Republican National Committee, took a swipe Tuesday at the leading Republican presidential candidates for not offering solid solutions to America’s immigration crisis. ‘
Oh, thats just BRILLIANT, you idiot.
Here is Mel the Mouth, becoming sound bite number one for MSNBC, CNN, dailykos, and DU.
Brilliant, Mel, just brilliant.
Hey, I know, Mel!
Why not a press release saying the Iraq War was a mistake?
Since you seem to be into aiding and abetting dems and all these days.....
Damn. Doesn't anyone give a FReepr the benefit of the doubt anymore? See post 51 for a reply to your bandwagon call.
Either you understand the Media is drumming up conflict or you don't.
I think his attack is just show to give a faux contrast.
