Much has been said over what the results of the special election run-off in the Texas 23d CD tell us about party voting patterns amongst Mexican-American voters. There is certainly much to say here, as the Latino population in the US is the fastest growing demographic group, and it is only a matter of time before the 'ol demographics bite the Texas Rs in the ass if these voters stay in the Democratic column. Come do some analysis with me after the fold.

Well, well, well, we're getting noticed big time. I guess we're cutting too close to the bone, and it's starting to hurt the establishment. Jonathan Gurowitz, a winger columnist for the lean-right San Antonio Express and News is all foamed up over our language.

The Houston Chronicle reported today that federal Judge Sam Sparks is on the verge of declaring that Tom DeLay "withdrew" from his congressional race, rather than became ineligible. Sparks stated that he will issue his ruling to this effect as early as next week. The effect of this? Delicious! Check it out under the fold. Read More

Way too many people are heaping scorn on undocumented immigrants by calling them lawbreakers. The House wants to make felons of more than 11 million immigrants in one fell swoop, and felons of the millions of American relatives, care providers, and friends of these immigrants.

But there is a simple solution. Check it out on the flip. Read More

That's right Chris Simcox, Jim Gilchrist, and their patron Tom Tancredo are out-and-out racists. And those aiding or sympathizing with the Minutemen are abetting racism. Are you offended? Do you think I'm over-stating? Tough!

Election day is tomorrow.This race looks like it's going to be a squeaker. Kos has called it the perfect storm for the turncoat Henry Cuellar. It is an ideal race for the Kossack community to tip Henry over. There are no other races to divert our attention tomorrow. A few hundred votes massaged out of South San by us can pull it out for the progressive Ciro Rodriguez. We've pulled out our credit cards for Ciro, and helped make him competitive. Now it's time to pull out the votes for him.

The common wisdom is that in order to overturn the results of the last cycle (when he lost by 58 votes), Ciro Rodriguez will have to do a better job of turning out the vote in his home base of Bexar County (San Antonio), and hope that the opposite happens in Webb County (Laredo), the home of closet Republican Henry Cuellar. Well, early voting is over in the primaries, and the totals for both counties are in.

TX-28: Early Voting So Far In Laredo Down

Ciro Rodriguez lost his reelection race to turncoat, closet Republican, Henry Cuellar by a mere 58 votes in the last cycle. He accomplished this by gaining an 86%-14% vote advantage in that part of Webb County within the 28th Congressional District. Henry swamped Ciro in Laredo, despite Laredo's liberal, true-blue, voting history, because he is the home-boy. But Henry can't possibly do better in Laredo, where his voting record has been highly publicized. The turnout in Laredo, nonetheless, is a key to this race, and so far it looks good for Ciro.

The Republican budget cuts to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Commodity Surplus Food Program have hit my community hard. The Republican budget cuts are literally driving poor elderly people to their deaths.
