I want to like him a lot but he tells Spanish radio one thing about amnesty and us another. I know he is playing the game. But Ted doesn’t play the game and doesn’t care. The fact the mainstream media are stepping over themselves to bash him and even Fox doesn’t mention him tells me he’s the one for the job.
