Mel Martinez is out as so-called “general chairman” of the Republican Party. I have a little comment up on DailyKos pointing out the announcement, and also asking whether this can be taken as confirmation that the Republicans are shifting further racist on immigration. Can’t stand having a Hispanic on top? Is that right, fellows? He must have shrunk in his guayabera a year ago when the Republicans were running a TV ad making Hispanics out to be potential terrorists. That's your party, Mel. Were you no longer willing to be their front man? Or did they give you the boot?
Which to hope for? I'd like the Republicans to be an honorable opposition. Hard to see honorable in this.
This is a new local blog for Florida's junior Senator and watching the actions Mel Martinez, the Republican Senator who misserves us in Washington. If you are interested in posting at The Mel Martinez Bulletin, drop me a line at quinnelk@hotmail.com with some idea of your Democratic and/or progressive credentials and I'll add you as a blogger.
