A Texas RNC member speaks out against Mel Martinez

Here. Highlight:

Every day, Texans are confronted with new problems caused by illegal immigration. Resentment is growing over the lack of assimilation by these illegal aliens who march with Mexican flags, refuse to learn English, and expect businesses to accept pesos. Choosing an RNC Chairman who supports amnesty is tantamount to telling the conservative majority of Americans that they do not matter.

Is it any wonder that the Martinez nomination is in trouble if the reaction of President Bush's home state is "thanks but no thanks"?

Still, some folks like Mel for less than obvious reasons than, say, administrative ability: "Martinez has always been at his best when speaking from the heart, rather than talking points."
