Just another step in the eventual civil war that will pit East against West.
Local talk-show god, and blogger, Hugh Hewitt embarrassed himself hugely today by blogging in praise of Villain-Raigosa. It is almost unbelievable. My opinion of Hugh sinks considerably. It turns out that V. appointed Hewitt to something at one point. Hugh is a conservative, but showed HORRIBLE judgement this time.
Everyone interested in this mayor's race should go to hughhewitt.com and read Hugh's awful stupidity.
Then, e-mail him at hhewitt@hughhewitt.com and give Hugh an EARFUL!!!!!!!!!!
The two countries are merging. The presidents of both countries want it. The media wants it. Big Business wants it. Hollywood wants it (they don't want to pay someone $10/hour to clean their pool and watch their kids).
And nobody cares about the opinion of the people who don't want it. Heck, the candidate championed by almost every "conservative" in the country is one of the biggest proponents of illegal alien amnesty. And the next "conservative" candidate will be for open borders too, and you know what? You'll vote for him. Because you will, once again, vote for "the lessor of two evils".
So what do you want? You vote in pro-illegal guys, you get more illegal aliens. Then you complain for 4 years, at which point you simply complain again.
And everyone pretends to act stunned.
The countries have merged. It's been done. The issue is pretty much dead now. It's done. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. Lean spanish, pull the "Republican" lever regardless of anyone's position, and get on with life already. The hand-wringing over this is just a waste of time. Nobody is gong to do anything.
