Mel Martinez Cosponsors New Amnesty Bill with Ted Kennedy

A "limited" amnesty for agricultural workers, S.237, was reintroduced in the U.S. Senate this week by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA). Cosponsors: Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Larry Craig (R-ID), George Voinovich(R-OH) and (drum roll) Mel Martinez (R-FL).

Ask yourself which sounds worse to the average Republican: "Florida Republican Mel Martinez joined Ted Kennedy in cosponsoring an amnesty bill for illegal aliens" or "the General Chairman of the Republican Party, Senator Mel Martinez, joined Ted Kennedy in cosponsoring an amnesty bill for illegal aliens."

Now do you understand why Martinez's adamant support of amnesty disqualifies him for the job of top spokesman for the Republican Party?
