Angry Hispanic Democrats Confront House Leaders

Tensions between Hispanic Democrats and House leaders exploded Friday when a bloc of Hispanic lawmakers voted to derail a major tax bill, relenting only after an angry confrontation on the floor with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer, D-Md.

The rebellion was a response to votes by 36 Democrats Thursday night in favor of a non-binding Republican motion Hispanic members called offensive. It instructed House conferees on an appropriations bill to accept a Senate-passed provision prohibiting the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from suing employers over certain English-speaking requirements.

    Expect the republicans, and even the democrats who are up for re-election, and Fox News to really play this up between now and next November.

    Right on! But now we real Americans (natives cause we were born here) are paying the price of the political-correct attack on our ability to express ourselves freely. Any disagreement with anybody and you're tagged a racist.
