Bringing Democrats out of the shadows.

In a New York Times article by LESLIE WAYNE which deals with the hidden agenda of the Democrats to register Hispanic voters. But, true to the liberal bias of the New York Times the article does not even mention the 800 pound gorilla in the country i.e. illegal immigrants at all in the entire article. While I am a registered Democrat I have this crazy notion that our elected officials should represent the wishes of the people. Though the actions of Dems like Eliot Spitzer to give drivers licenses to illegal immigrants seem to show the Dems have other ideas. It's not about representing the people it's about staying in power. Those two ideas are not the same. Here are the money quotes:

"At La Favorita, a Mexican grocery store here, there is plenty of food for sale — and also a new brand of politics.A handwritten sign, hanging over the door, proclaims in Spanish: “Wake up! Register to vote! It is the hour to unite and change our future, the future of our children — and the future of this country!”

I just wonder which country and whose future the Democrats are talking about here. It certainly seems it's not the middle class voters. Of course the Democrats are trying to hide their real political agenda from the citizens:

“Democratic strategists know that the Latino vote is their future,” said Hector Avalos, a professor and founder of the U.S. Latino Studies program at Iowa State University. “But they are having to handle this with kid gloves. They don’t want to anger native Iowans. But they know that there could potentially be millions of new voters nationwide. Democrats are sort of treading lightly, and trying to appease both sides.”

When the the Democrats like the illegal immigrants try to hide their real agenda and continue to ignore the wishes of the people. They do so at their own peril. I also think the temptation to commit voter fraud by the Democrats using the illegal immigrant population in their thirst for political power is a very real possibility. This is not just a threat to the Republicans but, a threat to our Democracy and everyone should be concerned about that no matter what party you are with.
