I have been hearing a lot of Republicans saying we should support Sotomayor because she is Hispanic.   Excuse me?   Are you ignorant of what you just said?   You are saying you need to support a deconstructionist Judge because they are Hispanic?   Ever heard of Racism?    By supporting her because of her race and because they falsely believe it will garner them minority votes they destroy the Republican ideal that all men are equal and the ideal of the Great Leaders of this nation such as Martin Luther King who said a man (or woman) should be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

!?!?

Republicans want to know why they lost so much control and power in 2006 and 2008?   This form of race pandering and tolerance towards Big Government.   That Republicans think they can win minorities by pandering to them with Amnesty or support of minority appointees regardless of their qualifications and suitability for the position  is a downright foolish.  People are smarter than that!  They know the difference between someone offering them a half-dollar and someone offering them a hundred dollars.   They will vote for the real Liberals and Socialists, not the fake ones.

And the wise answer of many in the Republican Leadership?  We need to be more ‘Moderate’.   We need to support Sotomayor because it will get us votes.  We need to look like the opposition… Perhaps, instead of being in the Republican Party you need to go to the Democrat party.   Specter already did.  What is the point of being in the ‘other’ party if you are not going to offer a real, solid difference?   What is the point of being a Republican if you decide that getting the vote is more important than the message itself?

Have you no integrity?

Have you no backbone?

Have you no confidence in what you say you believe – well, at least the platform the Party you are part of says it stands on?

Sotomayor should not be supported.  Not because she is one race or another or one sex or another – that is completely irrelevant to her character and ability to perform her job, but because she is racist and because she cannot be – by her own words and the words of Obama, be objective, impartial, and impersonal.   We respect her as a person, but reject her because of her stated lack – pride in it as well, of impartiality.

Heck, is it not good enough to oppose her because many of her own judgments were overturned by the Supreme Court?  Fox, meet the Henhouse.

Sure, some Hispanic voters will believe the mass media reports that the Senate Republicans opposed her because of her race or sex, but they were not going to vote for you anyways because: 1 – Republicans are not sending a clear message that can be distinguished from media reports and confusion with the Democrats message and 2 – they are not interested in the USA as it was founded but what the USA can give to them via handouts.

Dear Senators, by not opposing Sotomayor because she is Hispanic tells me, a Hispanic, that race matters more to you than character, than the rule of Law, or integrity of our Constitution.    Please, for the sake of the Party, our Conservative ideals, and the very fact that ALL MEN WERE CREATED EQUAL: oppose her!
