Hillary sat on Wal-Mart's board of directors six years prior to Bill Clinton's term as President. http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0207-34.htm That conveys who really tells Hillary what to do. I believe it speaks to the incumbent’s close ties to abusive corporate power: her large corporate financial contributions, her support for so-called “free trade” (which is simply trade to benefit corporations) and her unwillingness to confront corporate power that denies every American, among other things, universal health insurance.

They more or less do the bidding for Chevron, Mobil-Exxon, Unocal, Halliburton, Wal-Mart, and the top 1% of the American population. Well…the GOP isn’t the party of Abraham Lincoln anymore.

I think that younger Latinos can more easily relate to Barack Obama than we can Hillary Clinton. He is closer in age to most Latinos, has an immigrant father, and has two young children, aside from great oratory skills that appeal more to younger voters. It seems that Hillary Clinton has tried to make herself appealing to younger Latinos by sending America Ferrara (aka Ugly Betty) and Chelsea Clinton out to various youth events in the Southwest. Yeah, these two rich girls really resonate with us. How many 20-something Latinos do you know work for hedge funds in Manhattan or star in their own sitcoms?

In other words, as I have said on numerous occasions, the GOP is not anti-immigration, it is only a few loud people that make it seem so. The fact that the most pro-immigration candidate is winning the GOP primary and the most anti-immigration candidate dropped out a while ago testifies to that. Anybody who says otherwise just does not understand the GOP. On the Republican side, it looks like John McCain is more than halfway to the finish for his party’s nomination.
