Pat Buchanan on the GOP and California.

[TennesseeWalker]

Now, I'm going to go ahead and post this snip from a PB editorial. However, the only reason I'm doing this is to draw attention to a quip at the end of the article. Pat seems to be threatening a third party challenge to Bush over immigration issues.

Interesting. Judge for yourself.

Thus that hard second look at the California returns reveals this: The GOP share of the Hispanic vote in California has held steady for a dozen years at about 25 points below its white vote. The key to Republican victory is a high turnout among whites, and the party winning that vote going away.

And the key to winning the white vote is opposition to illegal immigration, to taxpayer-subsidized benefits for illegal aliens and to any form of amnesty, including giving illegals drivers' licenses. The lesson of the recall? Ethnic pandering is political suicide in California.

Yet, President Bush refuses to oppose amnesty for illegals. Gov.-elect Schwarzenegger has endorsed a form of amnesty. And the GOP Congress is toying with various versions of amnesty.

If the party continues on this course, it will forfeit any chance of carrying California and open itself up to a Third Party challenge, on the immigration issue, which could cost it the presidency. What are they thinking of?

1. Go Pat! Run, run, run!

Reform Party again? hahahahaha.;-)

I'm all for it.

I'm actually surprised there is no apparent Republican challenger in the primary, even a fringe one. Shrubya certainly deserves it.
