Though Sanchez was long cited as a supporter of G.W. Bush in 1998 gubernatorial reelection, it was revealed this past week that Sanchez did not actually cast a vote in 1998 for anyone. Now he is urging a large voter turnout, expecially in his strongholds of South TX, SW TX, central Houston, and central Dallas.

Hm. "If you don't vote Democrat, you're a racist."

I could swear I've heard that before.

"It's been remarkable how little race has played a role in this campaign," Sanders said. "I know you'd like it to, I know the Republicans would like it to."

Typical lying, race-baiting, sleazeball Democrat.

Last night, a caller to Austin's talkradio show, "The Flip Side," who countered a Sanchez rally in Canyon, TX, said that candidate Sanchez endorses affirmative action legislation. When his fellow protestors inform Sanchez supporters that their man prefers preferential treatment for certain races over others (via quotas, set-asides, timetables, and the like) that's when Sanchez starts playing the race card and complains about the resistance to his run in west and north Texas.

For me it's his heritage of dealing with Mexican drug lords and his heritage of using language to divide people. Also his heritage of being pro-abortion, pro-gay agenda, pro-affirmative action, anti-standards for teachers, in other words it's his very liberal democrat heritage I hold against him. What a loser. I'm very glad Dan Morales has come out in support of Perry.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Welll, Sanchez, even if they did like you before, you certainly won't endear youself with comments like that...

[demkicker]

Hey Tony, your polling data is that bad, is it? Gotta bring out the old desperate race card, eh? Guess what, Tony, you'll still lose, looser.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Voting for Sanchez solely because he is hispanic is good. Voting against Sanchez because he is hispanic is racist and bad.

Nope. No hypocracy here.

[Dog Gone]

West Texas will oppose Sanchez because he's a doofus. I lived there for nearly a decade, and they may be the most level-headed people in the entire country.

[cubreporter]

My thanks to Mr. Sanchez for starting my day with a laugh.

How many race cards are there in deck of Texas cards?

[NYCVirago]

"I saw last week Mr. Sanchez made a public exhortation to Hispanic voters to vote for someone who 'looks like us'," Morales said. "That is the sort of divisive appeal I very much regret my party is involved with." Sanchez has used the "looks like us" reference in speeches to crowds that included people of various ethnicities.

It sounds like Sanchez wants to have it both ways -- it's good for Hispanic voters to vote for someone because he shares the same ethnicity, but any white who doesn't want to vote for him is racist!

[MissAmericanPie]

"But the managing editor of the local newspaper, the Canyon News, said there were no anti-Mexican signs during Sanchez's stop outside the Randall County Courthouse, the San Antonio Express-News reported in its online edition Wednesday."

You mean he's a liar?? Oh, that's right he's a Demoncrat.
