It ain't about black or white or brown or yellow or red - it's all about green.... Thanks for a great analysis on this important new political force.

Ann: I saw that same parade too, and was thinking the same thing. But then again, at that time, I remember how he fooled a lot of people. He did have the backing of long time Democrat Lt. Gov Bob Bullock. I also remember the day, he backstabbed his protégé when he endorsed Bush for re-election in 1998 over Land Commissioner Garry Mauro. When he did that, it was beginning of the end of the Texas Democratic Party. That was when I said I had enough with the state party. Thank you!

I watched Latinos cheer for him. And I thought, "He hates you. He fears you. So do all his friends. How can you forget that?" Then again, I know women who are Republicans as well.
