Dean: GOP will try to scapegoat immigrants
By Lynn Brezosky, Associated Press Writer | August 6, 2005

EDINBURG, Texas --Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean argued on Friday that Republicans will try to make immigrants the "scapegoats" in the next election.

Dean garnered the loudest applause when he said Republicans would make immigration a pivotal issue during upcoming elections, as they did gay marriage and affirmative action in previous elections.

"Do you know who the scapegoats are going to be? Immigrants," he said. "In Colorado, the chairman of the Republican Party endorsed Tom Tancredo for re-election. That is morally reprehensible. The governor of California, a supposed moderate Republican, invited the Minutemen to visit California. We do not need vigilante justice."

Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., has drawn the ire of Hispanic groups in calling for tougher immigration enforcement and a proposal to tax some of the money immigrants send home. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, in a radio interview in April, said the civilian border patrols known as the Minutemen "have done a terrific job."

Dean spoke at a rally on the eve of the Democratic National Committee's Hispanic Summit in San Antonio. Edinburg is located just a few miles north of the Mexican border and is more than 80 percent Mexican-American.

Dean also criticized President Bush, contending that the president rebuffed Mexican President Vicente Fox because of divisions over the Iraq war.

"A strong Mexico means a strong America, and our ties must not be based on the petulance of the president of the United States," Dean said.

Hollis Rutledge, chairman of the Hidalgo County Republican Party, said Dean's visit illustrates the inroads Republicans have made with Hispanic voters.

"One day of Republican-bashing won't make up for years of taking Hispanics for granted, and it cannot hide the fact that the Republican Party best represents the views and values of Hispanic Texans," Rutledge said.

To late everyone, I have already started sending Mr. Dean a nice little letter and guess what I copied the Chairman of the GOP on it. So maybe they will get the hint, that neither party is going to be able to talk about true patriots and get away with it.

But feel free to send you thoughts to him oh don't forget when your sending it. It will ask you if you want to send it to anyone else and then add the Chairman of The GOP.

"A strong Mexico means a strong America, and our ties must not be based on the petulance of the president of the United States," Dean said.

Does anybody give a rat's tail about Mexico over the US?
Will Dean ever stop making moronic statements?
It seems the only time he takes his foot out of his mouth is to put the other one in.

"Whatsamatter, Mr. Dean?

Bush not giving the country away to illegals fast enough for ya? "

That is about what was in my E-mail to him, with the GOP copied to it. Except I did call him a traitor, if he is not for the Citizens of the United States. Oh maybe I shouldn't have been so harsh to him in my email. HA HA i should have been harsher
