Bush and the angry left

In his speech to his party, President Bush described the resolve of John McCain. If McCain could endure five years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, he could certainly withstand the pressure of the “angry left.”

But circling a red banner around the real issues affecting our nation only distracts from discussing concrete solutions. The red talk was a flimsy attempt to also distract from the political mess Republicans are in—a vice presidential candidate facing tough questions and well-known conservative commentators expressing little confidence in McCain’s decision making.

How Sarah Palin rates with voters adds to an already controversial Republican presidential candidate and agenda. That agenda includes a call to count only legal residents in the U.S. Census and a firm statement for an enforcement-only approach to immigration, with a small honorable mention for immigrants who serve in the military.

Latino voters need to pay attention because the message here is that a soldier’s sacrifice is what Republicans deem a worthy and respectable entry point for a non citizen. The party platform is clear in stating that amnesty for immigrants is unacceptable, even though advocates for comprehensive immigration reform and bills introduced in Congress have included a series of hurdles that undocumented immigrants would have to pass to be considered for a legal status.

The call for restricting the Census count is convenient for a party trying to run out undocumented immigrants, many of who are tied to citizens and who pay taxes and purchase goods. That call departs from the Census mandate of counting all residents, regardless of legal status.

The so-called angry left is far less of a problem for the Republican Party than its own unrealistic policies and proposed rule changes meant to disenfranchise communities.
