WASHINGTON (CNN) — Republican National Committee Chairman Sen. Mel Martinez rejected the claim that the new immigration bill will anger conservatives and destroy the GOP’s chances to win in the 2008 election.

On CNN’s Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer Sunday, Martinez said immigration “could be the saving of the Republican Party, frankly. And to do nothing would be the wrong thing for the American people.” Martinez is optimistic that the controversial legislation will make it through Congress, and he is counting on President Bush “to get us over the finish line.”

I gotta tell ya,  these guys are making it tougher all the time to remain a Republican…… 

WTF???
