What Rose is doing...

Best friends or now enemies? Water fight in Caldwell County splits neighbors, political allies. Former Texas Comptroller John Sharp once was a political godfather to state Rep. Patrick Rose, D-Dripping Springs. They really aren’t enemies now but have different views and don’t quite seem to agree on things any more. The problem with them is that Sharp wants to distribute water from Caldwell County to other counties or expand the water districts. Rose doesn’t want to do this because he feels that they are not in the need of distributing their water supply. The others just want to make money off of the situation and Rose as the good man he is, he is watching out for the people of the county. As the author explains in his article, maybe it should be up to the people in the county to decide whether they want to share their water supply or not. Rose doesn’t always know what is best and he should look for a second opinion with the people he serves.
The author, Laylan Copelin, did great in describing everything that is going one with the conflict, but I think he went too much in detail describing other things as well. Overall I think it was a good article rather lengthy, but it gave me a better view about the things Rose has to do and how he manages to take care of the people. Though I do think he needs to let the people decide what they want to do in regards to the water issue and how they want to use it or share it.

Why Hispanics will miss Bush...

Why Hispanics will miss bush? Or will Hispanics miss bush? The author of this article even with a Hispanic name is sort of in a way attacking the Hispanic community. To say the truth bush has not done much for the Hispanic community so I don’t see why they will miss him, in election year and reelection he talked about doing something about immigration and yes he has done something but nothing to help them. Setting a wall dividing the countries is not helping.
What does the author base his percentages that 61 percent of the hispanics voters don’t watch Spanish television? On the contrary I would say that the majority of the Hispanic voters watch Spanish television or else Univison would not have gone through all the trouble to have a debate. Plus they also did it because now there are a lot more hispanics registering to vote and want to know what is going on. And yes it was only with the Democratic Party but I am pretty sure they will have one for the Republican Party as Jorge Ramos said the day of the debate.
I am glad the author realized that immigration is not the only issue hispanics care about. The author mentions war, and yes war is another very important issue immigrants care about. They care because they do not want to be at war any more and many don’t understand that there are more than thousands of illegal immigrants fighting at war in Iraq. But does Bush or the government care for them? I would say not really because here they are fighting for rights that to me seem fair that they have because they care for this country as much as any native U. S. born citizen does.
