Dean: Immigrants Are GOP’s 2006 Foil
Dean: Immigrants Are GOP’s 2006 Foil
Larry Eichel, Philadelphia Inquirer
Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean told the National Council of La Raza yesterday that he expected the Republican Party to “scapegoat immigrants� during the 2006 election campaign.
In a speech on the last day of the Hispanic advocacy organization’s annual gathering, at the Convention Center, Dean said the GOP had tried to generate resentment against blacks in the 2002 elections through the issue of affirmative action and against gays last year by focusing on marriage.
“In 2006, it’s going to be immigration,� he said. “You wait and see.�
As evidence, Dean cited Rep. Thomas G. Tancredo (R., Colo.), who has called for rounding up illegal immigrants and shipping them back home. He also referred to a bill sponsored by House Judiciary Chairman Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R., Wis.) that would make states verify individuals’ immigration status before issuing them driver’s licenses.
“I don’t think the president is a bigot,� Dean told reporters at the Convention Center. “But I wish he’d have the courage to stand up to the bigots in his own party.�
Dean’s Republican counterpart, Ken Mehlman, followed him to the rostrum and did not respond there. But later, he told reporters that the former Vermont governor’s comments were “laughable.�
Said Mehlman: “It sounds like a good political sound bite, but it’s entirely belied by this president, this administration’s record.�
Mehlman noted that President Bush has created what the party chairman called “the most diverse administration in history,� that Bush got more than 40 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2004, and that the party is striving to get a bigger share in the future.
“Your interests are our interests,� he told his Hispanic audience during his speech. “Your cause is our cause.�

Yeeeah, WE know, Mr. Melhman and that's why all the Republicans are going to lose their seats next election.
Illegal aliens can't vote. And American Hispanics have the same goals as any American.
So I think you stepped in your "pooty mess" so to doublespeak!!
Your Party which is my party has lost its way down in Mexico and up in Canada and down in Central America and Waaaaay Down South along the Amazon River instead of here on the Swanee River.
You all need to spend some more time here in the United States, less time there, and devote your entire attention to American Interests and American Causes....which would mean you don't step foot within 100 miles of another National Council of La Raza Convention, you silly fool.
Grrrrrrrr!!
Looks like Dean stepped in his too. He thinks catering to illegals is going to help the Democratic Party....when the fact is "catering to illegals" is going to:
Get you impeached, fired, thrown out of office, prosecuted, jailed, glassed, GMO'ed, watched and photographed as you pace your Traitor Cell muttering over and over "where did I go wrong?"
(You kissed the wrong butt).
