This is a coordinated effort by the MSM to drive a wedge in the Republican Party.
First, Martinez makes the weak claim that Giuliani and Romney did not offer alternatives to the Immigration Bill. That is not true.
He does not attack them.
Martinez will be out once a nominee is selected.
Martinez is still the head of the RNC. He should have resigned after the comprehensive immigration bill was defeated this summer. He has become the poster boy for amnesty, which began with the 2006 Hagel-Martinez comprehensive immigration reform bill, that was voted against by Senate Reps 32-23.
Bush’s appointment of him as RNC chair has hurt the party. Contributions are down [including mine] because he is still the chair. And the fact that he is interjecting himself into the campaign calling McCain courageous and attacking Romney and Giuliani for mischaracterizing the Senate bill is beyond the pale. Instead of you telling others to STFU, you should direct that comment to Martinez and demand his resignation.
It is not the MSM driving a wedge in the GOP, it is Martinez. The immigration could and should be one of the defining issues of the 2008 campaign. I can assure you that the Martinez position on immigration won’t be the one reflected in the GOP platorm for 2008.
MSM has nothing to do with it. From big-government spending, fighting a half-assed WOT, and now illegal immigration, the GOP created their own rift.
