Back in 2005, when Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee fought against an "un-American" and "race-baiting" proposal to deny undocumented workers access to health care and other government services, he declared that the bill "inflames those who are racists and bigots and makes them think there's a real problem." Impugning the piety of the bill's state-senator sponsor — like the governor, a Baptist preacher — Huckabee quipped, "I drink a different kind of Jesus juice."

That was then. Today — with the nation bogged down in a disastrous war, oil prices at $100 a barrel, climate change cooking the planet and the economy veering into recession — the geniuses vying to lead the Republican Party have decided what's really wrong with America: Mexicans. Even the Rev. Huckabee is chugging the GOP's nativist Kool-Aid: In December, the same man who two years ago called on America to "be a place that opens its arms, opens its heart, opens its spirit to people who come because they want the best for their families" unveiled his "Secure America Plan," which would target 12 million of these good folks for mass deportation 120 days into his first term.

Un American name.

3. We have the Hispanic vote but need to work on reg and GOTV. n/t

4. We also have to be very vocal about having people check their registration

two months before the election, or before the books close one month before the election.

5. Yes! No matter who. The bastids are kicking legit voters off the rolls.

That's exactly right.

6. Voter education. We need to be very mindful in states that have Rep

governors and Republican Sec of States. We should also watch the US Attorneys that are doing bush's bidding.
