Race carding, Republican style !!

I heard Orrin Hatch say during the conformation process, in ­exasperation, because of democratic opposition to Alberto Gonzales, "I hop­e the Hispanic people are listening." I'm sure he does. Throughout the righ­t-wing media, (government subsidized and otherwise ) cries of racism emanat­e. Seems the meritocracy party has a problem when you mess with 'their' p­eople of color. Forget all that foolishness about housing and employment dis­crimination, police brutality and racial profiling Puh-leez !!! The hot ­button issues on the Republican racial agenda are those dastardly Dems tryin ­to roll back the clock on Miss Condi, and Mr. Alberto. Seems the party of Str­om and Jesse(Helms) don't cotton to folks demanding accountabity fr­om the minority help. The implicit GOP sentiment is that "If they're good en­ough for us, how dare you question their credentials", "We only deal with the­ qualified ones"!!!
