It's an entirely predictable example of the law of unintended consequences. The Republican party made a decision to use illegal immigration as the wedge issue of 2006, and the Mexican community was profoundly offended.

The Governor is the leader of the Republican Party. Out of respect for his position and his decision, I have decided to stop my campaign for the United State Senate.

The Republican Party is not inclusive.

Chris Shays' tie-breaking vote for the Bush/Congressional Republican budget cuts is yet another example of his being out of step with the priorities of the citizens of the 4th District. There's a huge difference between fiscal responsibility and cuts that harm our most vulnerable citizens.

The Republican Party is too fixated on this fiction of electability.

They're anti-government ideologues who dominate the Republican Party.
