McCain to speak at open-borders La Raza (”The Race”) conference
The John McCain campaign celebrated Cinco de Mayo today by launching a Spanish-language version of its website–and announcing that McCain will speak at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza (that’s “The Race”). The campaign justifies his appearance by framing it as a gesture of inclusiveness and outreach that is “part of his commitment to talking with all Americans.” Yes, they see it as an act of tolerance to legitimize the militantly open-borders, anti-immigration enforcement, ethnic nationalists who call themselves “The Race.”
From the press release:
U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following statement on Cinco de Mayo as his campaign announced several new Spanish efforts:
“Cinco de Mayo commemorates an important moment in the history of Mexico’s path to freedom. On this day in 1862, a small group of Mexican troops overcame overwhelming force to win the Battle of Puebla. Today, we join together to remember the sacrifice that these Mexican patriots endured, as well as the struggles of all those around the world striving for freedom. We recognize as well the important friendship that exists between our country and Mexico, and celebrate the many contributions Mexican-Americans have made to our society, culture, security and economy.”
The Cinco de Mayo statement can now also be found on the Spanish section of the official campaign website at http://espanol.johnmccain.com, which the campaign launched today. This part of the website will feature regular updates in Spanish throughout the election.
Finally, as part of his commitment to talking with all Americans during this presidential campaign, the McCain presidential campaign announced that John McCain will attend the La Raza Annual Convention in San Diego on July 14, 2008.
As I noted in February, McCain is La Raza’s voice in Washington.
Let me again remind you about what I reported:
You want straight talk? McCain’s tongue says he’s “listened and learned.” But his heart is with La Raza, the militantly ethnocentric, anti-immigration enforcement Hispanic lobbying group that honored him in 1999 and whose annual conference he keynoted in 2004…
…Crooked talk: He says he’ll build the fence.
Straight talk: He resents what he calls the “goddamned fence.”
John McCain and La Raza-The Race share a deep-seated contempt for grass-roots conservatives who worked successfully to defeat the disastrous amnesty bill. And they share a common impulse to marginalize their political opponents as “haters.”
Thus, La Raza-The Race has launched a new “We Can Stop the Hate” campaign–smack dab in the middle of the campaign season–to redefine tough policy criticism from the Right as “hate.” They protest that it is “racist” and out-of-bounds to talk about reconquista–even as the McCain campaign boasts a “Mexico First/”Just A Region”/”Free Flow of People” outreach director who’s practicing it out in the open for the leading GOP presidential front-runner.
Yes, an ethnic separatist group that calls itself “The Race”–a group that has embraced John McCain and vice versa–has the gall to crusade against “hate.” Chris Kelly notes that La Raza-The Race head Janet Murguia is calling for networks to keep immigration enforcement proponents off the airwaves and that both La Raza-The Race and another open-borders group are pushing for Fairness Doctrine policies to shut up their foes.
Read it:
Ms. Murguia argued that hate speech should not be tolerated, even if such censorship were a violation of First Amendment rights: “Everyone knows there is a line sometimes that can be crossed when it comes to free speech. And when free speech transforms into hate speech, we’ve got to draw that line. And that’s what we’re doing here today. And we need to make sure that network executives will hold their people accountable and not cross that line.”
Murgia praised McCain and looks forward to the “tapering down” of immigration enforcement efforts if he wins the White House: “With his emergence as a leading Republican presidential primary contender, I do think that we’ll see this toned down… Does it mean that we know everything he’s going to do in that area of reform? And I know he’s got his work cut out for him with a number of people, and we’ll see him put this whole platform together, but we do believe that if he ends up being in a lead role here, we think that that issue will be tapered down.”
No respect for the rule of law. No respect for the First Amendment.
Like John McCain said: “I’ll rely on people to judge me by the company that I keep.”
The company John McCain keeps:
Russ Feingold.
Teddy Kennedy.
Lindsay Grahamnesty.
Juan “Mexico First/Free Flow” Hernandez.
Jerry “Spanish first” Perenchio.
Geraldo Rivera.
La Raza.
Charles Keating.
John Kerry.
The New York Times.
***
Will Juan Hernandez be there to cheer his man on?
Keep McCain’s decision to speak to “The Race” convention in mind the next time he sanctimoniously rushes to the liberal media condemn conservatives as racists for having the audacity to bring up Jeremiah Wright or demand strict immigration enforcement.
***
Back in February, Victor Davis Hanson wrote incisively about the ethnic hatred La Raza and its satellites foment. He also observed: “By November I don’t know why either Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama should not have been asked to repudiate the support of an organization self-described as “The National Council of The Race.”
How about McCain?

“The R’s won’t be able to fight him cuz he’s one of them”
which is why they threw him under the amnesty bus last year?!
/the crystal ball seems a bit cracked …
He wasn’t POTUS last year and didn’t look like he had even a shred of hope of the nomination. It WILL be different if he’s POTUS.
Liberals and anyone else who can get that far politically as to a Presidential election will continue to use the GOP tag/party (same with DNC/party, with differences) as long as they’re continued to be voted for.
The big challenge is not being forced into a decision under pressure (d’oh). If you’re homeless or hungry, you really do lower your standards and accept solutions in stages: a passable place to live versus no place to live, something palatable even when it’s not nutritious or tasty rather than nothing to eat. And it’s the same with national (and state) elections: we go to the polls and vote because we realize the alternatives of not being able to, there’s pressure there to protect the right to vote rather than, mostly of late, who we vote for.
BUT this is being taken great advantage of by political groups and individuals and, yes, foreign governments who worm their way into U.S. politics in time by ongoing subtle if not brazen ways, such as via illegal immigration.
Now we have a population in the U.S. who are citizens not of our nation but of others (mostly from Mexico, many from other Central and South American countries, also from China and Middle Asia) and although they can’t legally vote, many do vote and they’re increasingly applying lobbying pressure to candidates to change the determination of citizens.
I am tempted not to vote for the first time ever in my voting adult life, this Fall. I am also tempted to vote but write-in a name rather than compromise my ethics and vote for McCain. I’m registered Republican but it’s a given in these times that a vote from me and those voters like me (Conservatives) is going to go for the Republican candidate, “whoever it is,” just to avoid a “Democrat White House.”
I realize the odds of not voting, I realize the odds of writing-in any alternative candidate’s name, I realize the wrongs of not “holding back the Democrats” mentality and methods of voting, but I DON’T think it’s sensible nor responsible to continue to vote “for the lesser of two/three evils.” Because this voting method is now assumed to exist by people who are now (and have) presumed upon many voters to do whatever while relying that we’ll vote no matter what as and for Republicans, even if they’re Democrats.
The RNC got a certain message by the drop-off in donations and that should have sent a reasonable, practical, real message that had greater impact than it apparently has. Instead, a lot of us experienced a negative push by an open-borders, pro-amnesty group who advocated for McCain and derailed Romney and a few other candidates that would have made, in my view, far more worthy Presidents of this nation than McCain.
So, I really no longer think that individuals voting for “anyone” as long as they’re Republicans is having the desired effect nor creating a good outcome. IN fact, I think it’s helping to create bad outcomes. Maybe if the donations and votes continue to drop off, the Republican Party will get the message that they can no longer presume that Conservatives will vote “against Democrats”. And local voting and support is very important now for Conservativs, yes, even for Liberals who do not support amnesty for illegals and who are keen on border security and immigration enforcement.
McCain claiming strength on national security while he ponies up with La Raza is, well, it’s irrational.
McCain: Mexican illegals share our values. Check. Highest crime rate in America by far.
McCain. Mexicans share family values. Check. Highest unwed birth rate in America.
McCain. Mexican illegals praise the work ethic. Check. Use welfare 3 times more than citizens.
McCain. Mexicans want to be educated. Check. Highest dropout rate in America.
McCain. Mexicans are Pro Life. Check. Second highest abortion rate.
McCain is the dumbest man to run for President in the history of the nation. I dare anyone to bring up another name.
I might be able to digest the idea of voting for McCain if he were to spend half as much time as he does wooing the liberal voters on NOT insulting conservatives such as myself. And for the record, I take it as an insult to both my intelligence and conservative principals every time he talks about broad social outreach programs for illegal aliens and then has the audacity to claim that they are not amnesty. This is why I grapple with the idea of voting for him. I do not want to give validation to his thinking.
I haven’t figured out why McPain is wooing the Hispanics when they will vote for a democratic nominee.
What really ticks me off is that illegals can vote in NC. I wrote the state board of elections over a week ago and haven’t had any response. I wanted to know why this procedure was even allowed.
Guess they cannot read English.
Legitimizing La Raza.
If McCain follows through with this keynote speech, he has lost my vote. Period.
Could Buckaroo really be John McCain posting on this thread? They both have about the same temperament and language…
If you think President Bush has helped destroy the Republican Party through his actions and inactions, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet if we get McCain as POTUS.
I’d rather fight the wolves than have to fight a wolf in sheep’s clothing. We have already seen there are many people who support McCain just because he has that “R” after his name. It is much easier to recognize and fight the enemy without, than the enemy within.
And yes, I do consider McCain ane enemy – anyone who consistently supports more and bigger government and higher taxes, anyone who supports Democrats’ agendas, anyone who supports La Raza qualifies as “the enemy”.
We’ve just moved from the international sanctuary of No. Virginia (after 40 years). It’s been great not seeing day laborers hanging around. All the store clerks we’ve seen, in the stores we’ve been to, speak perfectly good English. We say “good morning” to our neighbors, not “bueno diaz”. What a relief. I don’t expect it to last too long, though, once we have a new President with a democratic congress. I suspect the inauguration speech will contain “oley, oley, in come free”. Probably to a standing ovation. I won’t watch it; no pepto-bismol or phenergan handy.
I stayed away from this thread yesterday for just this reason, Buckaroo. All of this anti-McCain ranting is shortsighed, idiotic and counterproductive.
It’s going to do terrible damage to our nation if O or H lands in the White House, but you simply can’t reason with “principaled” ignoramuses whose minds are deliberately nailed shut. It’s a lost cause.
Time to let these folks stew in their own juices… they’re not going to respond to reason or common sense. All it does is raise your blood pressure.
Fortunately, the small percentage of “true conservative” fundamentalists who would rather vote a Marxist like Obama into the office of POTUS over a Republican moderate is growing smaller and smaller every day, as more and more conservative voters come to their senses.
When push comes to shove, most Republicans are going to do the right thing, the only thing really… go to the polls, vote for Republican candidates on the state and local level, and pull the lever for a Republican president.
Because the alternative is simply unthinkable… and they know it.
Cheers!
McCain is out there stumping for comprehensive immigration reform over border enforcement.
What say you duped defenders? As I said, most McCain defenders are open-border zealots.
Only two types of people McCain likes…
Elite rich Wallstreet people and illegal aliens.
…(everyone else) Natural Born Working Middle class people he can’t stand.
I don’t care who is running…I will not vote his November….choosing between 3 total losers doesn’t give much of a selection.
Irish,
While I grant that some people are not thinking clearly, not everyone who dislikes McCain is ignorant (or at least I try not to come across that way).
Will I vote for McCain? While holding my nose, yes.
Why?
Because you’re right that out of the three, he’s the best(and that term I use in context, loosely) choice under the circumstances.
But I catagorically disagree with his stances on immigration, among other things. But this is an instance where I’d rather challenge someone in the White House that -seemingly- can be reasoned with (and I think that if he’s there, McCain can be dealt with effectively), rather than having a Dem there that would basically run things into the ground even farther.
That does not mean, however, that I can silently sit by, and I actively choose not to not only here, but in my community. I think McCain is a Democrat in Republican clothing. As such, I expect him to do some of the same things than his Democratic counterparts, but merely to a lesser, more managable degree.
Unfortunately, that’s something I’ll have to live with, and deal with, when the time comes.
Just my 2 cents.
If he announced that my check to him would be in the mail this afternoon.
.. and he’d WIN because the liberals and RINOS would split between McLame and the other liberal. Isn’t that EXACTLY what happened to Bush 41 in 1992 to let Clinton win with less than a popular majority? Perot was far more like Bush than Clinton. McLame is far more like Hillary or Obama than Hunter. Also, fearing a loss by McCain, many RINOS will scurry over to Hunter as well.
It makes so much sense we MUST find a way to get Duncan engaged to at least talk about it.
The goose is already cooked. American companies are in bed with the Mexican government over this North American Union horsecrap and the electorate of the USA has had no say. The TransAmerican Highway will rob thousands of land and access to their economic livlihoods. Mexicans will become legal squatters to bolster housing markets (as renters)….California state government is already broke…our school district is experiencing a huge influx of spanish speaking illegals…and our school is being cut by a million bucks over the next 4 years.
Can’t have it both ways….if the labor is allowed in, the government is going to have to raise taxes to pay for services they require….and then more will come.
Say Buh Bye, Ah-Meddy-CAh

Thank you. Well said. unwise-man thinks umlimited legal immigraiton is great. He fails to look at the quality of the immigrants. And he uses the GOP/liberal cliche’s to support that. “We are are a nation of immigrants”. By that stupid logic every country is a nation of immigratns except Africa if you beleive scientists. Policies like his will ruin our country. Allowing more wiht our PC gov’t will lead to more of the less desireables coming here.
Who’s side are these people on. And I say these people referring to all of the candidates that do not care that our open border to the south is draining our country dry!
When will a true American come to the fore front and take their oath serious and actually protect Americans!

Hunter would be a good choice. He has some decent conservative credentials, has good stances on border security/immigration, foreign policy, and seems to have a solid handle on domestic issues. He was one of the people that Phil Valentine (local here in Nashville, but syndicated elsewhere) really thought was someone to go with, as well as Tom Tancredo.
But, I honestly believe that ship has sailed. At this point, the best thing you can hope for from him would be a possible VP nod, or an appointment of some sort.
Between Tancredo and Hunter, which are both good choices, we would have at good ticket if they were the Pres/VP ticket. Unfortunately, it won’t happen.
I don’t know why people didn’t warm up to them, other than possible a lack of name recognition? It’s sad, because they seem to be decent, level headed people.

“McCain will let all of the Islamofascists move in next door to you”
Dude, do you even live in teh US? It is obvious to anyone who actually watches the news. What a ridiculous question. OUr gov’t keeps brining in more and more people who’s culture is polar oposite to ours. Or even better, never saw a 2 story building. Oh yea, that “enriches” our nation and culture.
Prcaldude, well said. My sentiments exactly. And I have thought long and hard about this for many years. US citizenship has been devalued by mass immigraiton of the retches from around the world.
Let’s do the math shall we. There are Census 46 million hispanics in the US comprising both legal and illegal. Out of those 50% Census don’t have a high school diploma. Only 18.9 million are registered to vote let’s say 1/2 of those actually vote.
Please tell me why politicians pander to this group when there are more balck and white americans voting and really make the decision of who sits in the big seat?
I heard that McCain isn’t supporting Sen. Webb’s (Virginia) proposal to extend educational benefits for military personnel who served since 9/11. Just like the WW2 GI Bill, we need to extend the benefits to our service people who put on the uniform and put their lives on the line for us. That McCain won’t support this, has pretty much put me “across the line”, though I was willing to cut him some slack. Surprisingly, both Clinton and Obama are onboard, as well, as Warner, Pelosi and Reid.
Does anybody know a cheap shrink? The more I read about Obama and McCain, the more I like Hillary!
I work for a pharmaceutical company here in NJ and Senator Menendez is visiting to discuss “The Importance of the Latino Vote in the 2008 Presidential Election.” 1) What does this have to do with pharmaceuticals? 2) Why are we discussing the impact that latinos will have on this election? If illegals fall under the all encompassing “latinos” umbrella – Houston we have a problem.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Staying home is just the same as voting for Obama or Hillary. You might not like McCain, but do you really want a Dem picking the Supreme Court? Any Ginsburg fans care to speak up?
Focus on the House and Senate.
BTW, I love Joy’s idea about changing from R to I. It needs to be done between now and the convention. That would send a clear message.
#313 why are you suprised at menendez’s agenda? He is and entitlement senator who wasn’t voted in by us. Hopefully Lautenberg will get booted then we can work on getting this idiot out!
Concerned citizen, I agree about the not voting. I really do want to vote for mcamnesty, but he keeps pushing amnesty and higher immigration levels. among other liberal crap ideas. A deal killer for me. If, and I know this is a big IF, we could get a substantial nubmer of people to write in the same name for POTUS, like Hunter or Tancredo, that would send a clear message to the GOp to straighten up, OR give a true conservative 3rd party the potential base it needs to become a contender. Either way, the 2 party systme has failed conservatives and something need sto be done.
John, you poopy-head,
Siddown, n’ Shuddup,
You’re upsetting Michelle.
xler8,
Not surprised by his antics. I’m surprised by my company’s move to invite him here to speak on this topic, no less. Maybe I’m being naive but I simply don’t see the connection.
NJ needs a complete overhaul.
From the GOP.com website what makes me enraged is the muddying of the waters combining legal with illegal immigrants.
Senator McCain – The Right Choice For Hispanics
From The Latino Report
By Carly Fiorina
Op-Ed
May 5, 2008
Mexican Americans have contributed to the cultural fiber of the United States in so many ways … It’s important that we continue this rich combination by electing a president who is the best choice for Americans and who will share their values and interests. …
[A]s the largest minority group in the U.S., many Hispanic Americans have followed the American Dream, an ideal Sen. McCain highly believes in and endorses. It is also worth noting Sen. McCain’s strong leadership on immigration issues. …
[S]en. McCain has proposed a number of initiatives to put an end to the current housing crisis and make sure it doesn’t happen again by targeting predatory lenders and creating transparency in the lending system. …
Sen. McCain also has made innovative proposals to improve the economic climate for small businesses to succeed. With over two million Hispanic-owned businesses generating nearly $300 billion annually for the economy, there is potential under Sen. McCain’s economic plan for these businesses to grow even stronger.
The pro-growth tax agenda that Sen. McCain endorses is very much in line with the needs of many Hispanic-American families. His plans to keep taxes low, cut taxes for middle-class families, and free up more money for hardworking Americans. …
To ensure that our children are able to continue our legacy and be afforded opportunities we weren’t, our education system must provide them with the skills to succeed. …
Sen. McCain is the right choice for all Americans because he will keep their best interests at heart – in the business sector, in the classroom, and at the dinner table … [J]ohn McCain has the support of the Latino community…

Amen Weary, illegal immigration is my number one issue. I just don’t want to see a Supreme Court that legislates. I’ll hold my nose and maybe even throw up a little, but I can’t let the Supreme Court go left.
30 pieces You’re right no connection but, he has an agenda and it doesn’t matter where it’s said. You should check with the person who scheduled the event and find the connection.
How did McCain convince La Raza that he was “bronze” enough to live in “Aztlan”?
He is a four-time melanoma survivor. It is a horrific disease and he is tough for having lived this long.
xler8,
Yeah, I can’t stand the man. When I write to him regarding his political stances. I receive some of the most disgusting replies. No surprise that I will not be attending this function. I value my job.
- Why else would we have to Press “2″ for Spanish
- Just look at the cultural contributions made to Los Angeles, Houston and Miami
Who cares? I’m wondering what McCain’s tax agenda will do for Americans.
He can have it, but he’s lost the entire conservative community and the only chance he had to be elected.
What an idiot!
Graysonret, The primary reason that he is against this is that it is such a good deal that he is (probably rightfully) concerned about the very likely drain on trained NCOs and Soldiers from the army. Have you looked at the plan? It includes provisions look funded housing, tuition. It is such a good deal that frankly I don’t know how it would be funded, and I can’t help but think that Webb has an ulterior motive, regardless of his own background.
30 pieces at least you get an answer. i haven’t once received an answer from him!
Hate to sound so defeatist but here it is,
1.Opening the borders further will mark the end of this country
2.All candidates will open the borders.
End of discussion AND end of the country
(Americans have every reason then to be hysterical)

Someone else posted this above (too lazy to search for), Chuck Baldwin is the Constituion Party nominee. I just read this out on vdare. Anyway, he is an immigration patriot. Read many of his columns. He is a true conservative. If this is real, I will be voting Constitution party in November without a doubt. Although I love Tancredo/hunter, get enough write ins to make a differnece will be impossible. The Constitution party could go a long way if they pick up a sizeable, albeit minority, share of the vote. THis is great news. I have looked at Constituition party before but found them to be lasseiz faire on immigraiton. But Baldwin is a not weka on immigration issues. Woo hoo. Someone I can get excited aobut and donate to.

Can we petition J.McCain’s mother to possibly knock a few of her sons teeth out, man this guy sucks.
The McCain campaign should issue umbrellas to conservatives, as the senators urine is technically a bio-hazard.
The greatest nation on earth… and these three are the best we can do… this election season is more like one big promotion for the anti-depressant pharmacy industry.
There are just too many problems.
1. the Florida-Michigan delegates
2. The Dem race is too close
3. Conservatives dislike McCain.
I say we request a do-over.
How can I as a citizen of the United States sue my government for not protecting the rights of myself and my fellow citizens as they are sworn to do!?
I will call an attorney today if anyone can give me a suggestion.
This has to be done at our level since most states and the feds could care less!
A good site for everyone here to take a look at.
http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html
Oh well,
I guess, I can get used to the idea of having a racist Black Panther for president.
what could possibly go wrong?
Let me add to the hysteria: America 2008>>>>> citizens more interested in B Spears than the next election; most dems getting their “news” from Jay Leno, Jon Stewart and David Lettermen; elementary school: 2 daddies and condoms in; God/prayer out; half the country wants to know what their country can do for them; abortion on demand; movies, tv, music saturated with cheap teenage toilet humor, and much much worse; all religions except Christianity must be treated with respect; supposedly impartial newspapers and tv media in the tank for the left’s political ideology; right wing cadidiates pandering to muslims, hispanics; listening in to phone calls between americans and terrorists violates civil rights; non citizen enemies of our country entitled to citizen’s civil rights; press 1 for English; globalists on both sides of the aisle selling out our national interests for corporate interests; America the biggest debtor nation on earth…..I could go on, but why bother? If anybody thinks that this country will do a 180 any time soon guess again…this game is over.
#333 You just have to find a lawyer to take your case and have a claim with merit.
I would start with a petition and sue as a class action.
#332 I suggest we start the petition now and call a stop to the preceedings and start over on 1June08. Quicky primary with candidates of our choice and hold the elections on time. MM a little help here?
McCain’s view on illegal aliens is EXACTLY THE SAME as Ted Kennedy.
they cozied up together to try to ram thru in the middle of the night without hearings a traitorous bill that most of the American people adamantly oppose.
they tried to sell out the sovereignty of this country, to obliterate the borders, language, and culture of this country.
and GW Bush was a full and totally onboard partner in the “sellout America” bill.
they worry about the borders of Iraq, Korea, etc, but don’t give a damn about the borders of THIS country.
Yep, do for us. We cannot do for ourselves. Whatever happened to working for it?
“American Dream”???? Yes McShamnesty favors allowing ILLEGALS to swamp the country. And my wife wonders what convinced me to move with her to N. Ireland?
You got that right! Kennedy was the dipstick who changed the entrance requirements and opened our borders to the sick, lame, uneducated and nonproductives back in the ’60s. You can see where we have come since then. Oh, he promised that we would see no ill effects. Riiiiiiiiiight!
right, Expat. I wonder if McCain will sing in Spanish at the la raza convention like his buddy Ted Kennedy.
Senator,
I don’t think he will actually sing, but I do think that there will be a lip synching rendition. I hear his spanish is not as good as teddy’s.
Amnesty on it’s way unless americans stand-up!
Sen. John McCain said Monday the tenor of the immigration debate has hurt the way Hispanic voters view the Republican Party.
Sen. John McCain lauched a Spanish-language Web site on Monday.
“I believe the majority of Hispanics share our view that the border must be secured, and the border must be secured first,” McCain said in Phoenix, Arizona.
“But they also want us to have an attitude which I think most Americans do, that these are God’s children and they must be taken care of.”
The senator from Arizona used Cinco de Mayo as a launching pad for a new Spanish-language Web site on Monday, and he emphasized his stance on immigration and border security as he tried to court the Hispanic vote.
Republican strategists have said McCain has to do well with Hispanic voters to win in November. When President Bush was re-elected in 2004, he received 44 percent of the Hispanic vote, but that was before the divisive political debate erupted over illegal immigration. Watch McCain give his message to Hispanic voters »
McCain is seen as a moderate Republican when it comes to immigration reform, but the conservative base of his party has taken a hard-line approach on the issue. See where the candidates stand on immigration
In 2005, McCain angered some in his party when he and Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy unsuccessfully pushed for a comprehensive immigration reform bill that included a path to citizenship.
McCain now says he would focus first on securing the borders before offering other ways to deal with illegal immigration.
McCain on Monday empathized with Hispanics who have been mistreated and said low-income Hispanics are often the first to lose their jobs when someone come to the United States illegally.
He underscored his view that those who came to the U.S. legally take priority over those who entered the country illegally, but said that still means the issue can be addressed “in a humane and compassionate fashion, understanding families, understanding all the aspects that affect the lives of all human beings.”
McCain, who represents a border state with a large Latino population, said he thinks he will do well among Hispanic voters, partly because of his “long record working with Hispanic leadership.”
“I know the people, I know the patriotism, I know the loyalty, I know the respect for the family, the advocacy for life,” he said. “Everything about our Hispanic voters is tailor made to the Republican message.” Watch a report on McCain’s outreach and record with Hispanics »
McCain also pledged to attend the National Council for La Raza’s convention in July, the largest national Hispanic civil rights organization which seeks to improve opportunities for Hispanic-Americans.
Asked if he would face criticism from his more conservative backers, McCain stressed his party is all encompassing.
“My party is an inclusive party, my party reaches out to every citizen, every American who shares our views and our optimism and our belief in the principles of this great nation,” he said.
“I will make sure we go to places where I may not get the majority of their votes. But the job I have is to reunite America, to make sure that people know that I will be the president of all the people whether they vote for me or not.”
He is a frigging idiot! Yes, we are inclusive to those who follow the rules, integrate into American culture and respect America, its laws and all who live in America.
The rest of you can make like a baby and head out to your native land
I like the god’s children speech. Is that the same god’s children that are gang bangers and alcoholics killing american citizens?
but he is reaching out to illegal invading NON-citizens.
but he is reaching out to illegal NON-Americans who DON’t share our views or have ANY loyalty to our country.
Senator,
Beat me to it again. Has anyone checked his meds lately to see if he is taking the proper prescriptions in the proper doses?
this is for the McCain lovers who try to convince us that he is just innocently being inclusive in searching for votes, and that he really does not support open borders.
BS !!!
he is a dyed-in-the-wool longtime supporter and advocate for la raza and he is the biggest friend of illegal aliens and foreign invading scofflaws.
just ask his hispanic adviser, Juan (open borders) Hernandez
aren’t burglars God’s children too?
but we don’t ignore the laws to pander to them, do we?
My party is an inclusive party, my party reaches out to every citizen, every American who shares our views and our optimism and our belief in the principles of this great nation,” he said.
WRONG. IT IS NOT YOUR PARTY, my friend. He and his centrist ilk have highjacked the party. There is room for a centrist party in the US, let that be the GOP, but we connservatives need representation as well. And we d*mn sre are not getting any with the current 2 party system.
Anyone for the resurrection of the Bull Moose Party. I give Teddy a pass on starting the government land grab in violation of the constitution but I don’t believe that he saw his national park idea going this far. The man loved to hunt and fish and that is why he established the national park system. To hunt and fish in.
But I digress. Let’s begin the third party and put the country right.
For the win.
I’ve been shot at by Hispanics (Mexicans) whilst minding my own business in a good part of town. I’ve had to move because of Hispanics shooting at other people near my place of residence.
They do not value education. Their kids do not even go to school. They’re children commit many more crimes than the native born.
Mexicans are not becoming Americans. They are remaining Mexican. The minute you point out the pathologies of this new underclass, you have them screaming “racist!” at you with subsequent marches and demonstrations by their racial agitators.
Making more Mexicans citizens is not a recipe for stability in the United States in the long term, or even the short term.
If all three candidates will pass an amnesty, then I have no one to vote for. I am not required to bring the rope to my own hanging, and if a Dem is president, we can at least have an adversarial relationship between Congress and the White House, just like we needed with Jorge Bush.
lololol Yep, I can relate…
Monica Lewinsky’s Ex-Boyfriend’s Wife for President!
*sigh* We’re sunk.
# 293……. here’s one for you and i don’t think you can top it…..
C-A-R-T-E-R.
AND franksalterego@ 335…..
classic! yes…what could go wrong?
except everything……..
the marxist ideology that obama holds near and dear also tells him to not show his true colors until he is elected, because marxists just know better than the people.
McCain does not merit one conservative vote.
Senile McCain, Senile McCain, Senile McCain,Senile McCain, Senile McCain, Senile McCain,Senile McCain, Senile McCain, Senile McCain.
Crash and burn in ‘08 with the Dims. Pick up the pieces in ‘12.
I will do my part to ensure this TRAITOR is not elected president.
Then we can relegate him to television ads for DEPENDS.
Every day, he reminds me more and more of a used one.
Crash/burn ‘08 = pick up pieces ‘12.
Conservatives intact.
“The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities.”
The previous was brought to you by
President T. Roosevelt. If only Juan McShamez understood what his predecessors understood.
This comment is directed toward those who are hot for McCain, using the argument “any vote not for McCain is effectively cast against him.”
NB:
because I’m not at home — I’m surfing using my PDA, which has only a limited input buffer — I’m only able to hit the high points.
I remember early on, when Conservatives were grumping about
a$$hatMcCain, warning those who’d listen that his entire past history argued against trusting him — he has a history of proudly lying to people’s faces.The McCainanites mount a few major arguments, with a lot of circular logic about him having heard the people & promising to do the people’s will. Overlooking, of course, that 6mo. previous he’d called those very people all the names from ignorant (the kindest) to bigoted native-ists (the harshest).
The major arguments of those supporting McCain were:
he’d “heard us on the fence”
he’d appoint conservative judges
he is pro-national security & defense
he’s fiscally conservative
he’s fought for pro-life causes
he’s honest (?)
Oh, and of course — he’s promised
There are others that don’t surface as often. Others are actually justifications for a point included above. “He’s a war hero” is one such.
The Fence, the border, & national security:
Well, I think Michelle and others have completely punctured the “he’ll build the fence” canard. And to those who say: “make him promise, then hold him to it!” How, exactly, would we do that? Do you remember how hard it was to get congress to standup to the less, shall we say, conservative notion’s of GWB’s?
Do you know why? Because, due to the structure of the Republican party, the President — when a Republican — is the head of the party. Go against him, and you might not get your funding… all the more important since CFR.
An aside:
This ability to use funds to either punish opponents or “buy the election” of allies explains why GWB fought so hard for people like Chaffe, pouring tons of money into his bid, insuring his win in September 2005, against Stephen Laffey, (endorsed by the Club for Growth, and other 3-legged Conservatism organizations…). At the time Chaffe credited his win to independents & disaffected Dumocrats. It also explains why, the critical 4 days prior to the election, the RNC pulled all funding from Senator Santorum. Santorum was well know to oppose GWB pet projects, such as the drug program and NCLB. This was done even though Santorum had seriously wounded himself by throwing his support – along with GWB behind Arlen Spector, (another RINO). I remember the news reports that all the media spots Santorum had purchased set for those critical 4 days were defunded. The reason given was a lack of funds, that Santorum was “Safe”, and Chaffe needed the funding. From this you can see the wisdom of acting against the President’s interest when he heads your party. NB: I know this is a long aside, but I think it sheds some valuable light on the matter…
If you think that McCain meant that he’d build the fence, why? Look at those with who surrounds himself & who he demeans & castigates. The Race he loves, the most Liberal of Progressive Dems’ buttocks he finds kissing-sweet. His party, the Conservative movement, the American people generally and those who believe in National Sovereignty — these are those for whom he has no use for. By his own words, they are bigots, hates, etc. He calls himself a conservative, a follower of the fine conservative tradition. What needs to understood is when using this label, saying he was a “Reagen Foot-soldier”, it is his little contemptuous joke on those too young to remember his past antics.
Conservative Judges
People are very fond of telling me that we don’t really know McCain’s heart — he’s heard us, after all, he’ll be afraid of bucking the American People. And, he’s promised to nominate conservative judges… at least they’ll be more conservative than those picked Hillary or B.O.
These people have a point, of course. Johnny did promise to pick conservative judges for SCOTUS — just not as conservative as are Alito, Roberts, or Thomas. They are too (nasty? evil? … no its) conservative. And seeing the chains that CFR has put on the members of his party, who will push him to the right? Or, (as I think is more the likely,) will he simply respond as he did when confronted about his insistence on keeping the “Social Security for Illegals” provision in his Grand Amnesty bill with “Ch!ck@nsh!t!!” Which brings us to the next point.
McCain is Fiscally conservative
Overlooking for the moment that earmarks are a drop-in-the-bucket compared with the Social Security/Medicaid/freebies for illegals, for McCain’s true outlook on fiscal policy & taxation I have only 1 word: McCain-Lieberman. There are more examples, but this is getting overlong for a post on someone else’s blog.
For the Pro-life cause, look here:http://hotair.com/archives/2008/01/22/audio-laura-ingraham-slams-mccain-on-the-wisconsin-right-to-life-case/

On McCain’s Word:(via his oath-of-office), I suggest McCain-Fiengold: an attack on the 1st Amendment.
For the view he’s strong on the WOT, we can discuss that after he closes Gitmo, mainstreaming the prisoners there into our civil legal system. We’ll get the fun of paying the Jihadists for their trouble by paying for their endless appeals and the damages for the time we kept them from their Jihad. After that, they can run off again & blowup more of our people. This while he downsizes the Armed Forces…(look it up yourself, I’m doing enough of your work for you as it is…).
Lastly, Dishonest John’s Honesty. Well, if we discount the Keating Five, where the money made was $350k+, (as opposed to Clinton’s piker $100k), we have Romney’s Early Iraq Withdrawal lie. You can argue that it is a small thing, but I consider a man’s good name no small thing. What else will we find from a man who would win at any cost?
I’ve noticed that, as McCain’s position has drifted from its forced left-middle to his favorite place (where his best-buds: Kennedy &et al. are), left-left, the pro-
a$$hatMcCain people use 3 main methods of argument: endless repetition of discredited arguments, FUD, and the “shrinking goalposts”. The “Shrinking goalpost” method is simply, every time your candidate commits an action that dumps one of your pro-points for him, you quickly acknowledge it, while at the same time minimizing it as part of the platform.Now it would seem that this would eventually cause the candidate’s platform to waste-away. What prevents this is the regeneration that is the other half of the method. For simple example, McCain will build the fence, “Damn it!”… but he has a big-wig from the Reconquesta movement as a good buddy. Well, he’s strong on the WOT! He really understands that! Until he puts his foot in his mouth about Gitmo. Well, McCain will appoint originalist judges! Until he sponsors another bit that attacks the 1st, 2nd, etc., Amendment… Well, did you know, He’s gonna build the fence!
Well there are my comments of this donnybrook, and why we who stand on principle will never see eye-to-eye with the McCaininites. I know it is long, may Ms Malkin forgive the length of it. I’ve tried to cut it down, but my PDA has a terrible editor, and a worse browser.

McCain is a senile, dangerous man, and his wife is, quite simply, unattractive.
It occurs to me that McCain is the Republican’s Jimmy Carter. It is only cosmic irony that the person who’ll deal the blow that their party will never recover from both ar initaled J. C. …
