Another Bill Comes Due

By The Prowler on 6.13.03 @ 12:01AM

Hispanic Democrats look ahead. Plus: A GOP Northeast (no kidding).

p> BOSTON JUMPING BEAN SOUP br> There is further fallout from Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe ‘s seeming uninterest in keeping his Hispanic voter base happy. As the Prowler reported on Tuesday , members of the DNC’s Hispanic Caucus have been upset at the party’s ignoring Hispanic voters (i.e. refusing to pony up money in support of Hispanic voter outreach). McAuliffe has basically responded to these concerns by ignoring them. Now comes word that the Hispanic Caucus has put forth a resolution calling on McAuliffe to appoint New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson as chairman of the 2004 National Convention to be held in Boston. /p>

“McAuliffe probably thinks that’s a good idea,” says a DNC staffer who has not seen the resolution. “Our governors have been getting a higher profile anyway. This kind of thing makes sense.”

Richardson, for his part, would probably jump at the opportunity. Apparently in New Mexico, one of the most corrupt states in the union, the governor doesn’t have much to do. Just Wednesday Richardson announced opening a new investigation… into who really killed Billy the Kid.

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.
