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?

Morgan, I admire your fight for McInsane. He’s toast though. He can grab all the money he can from La Raza because he’s going to need it to make up for people like me not donating to him. The NRCC is taking a hit in funds as well. When a cadidate doesn’t listen to the majority of the people, it’s time to retire them.
I wish we had information linking him as Client #8.
If he does that now when he still needs our votes, how much worse will he act once he is elected president? Every time McCain reaches across the aisle to his buddies on the left he turns his back on his allies on the right.
Juan McCain, la basura.
Now that’s just silly and logically fallacious. No president is ever going to eliminate that. As a Constitutionalist, Paul recognizes that the president is sworn to defend the Constitution and to provide for the national defense. He just doesn’t feel that our borders extend halfway around the world.
I guess Tony Zirkle doesn’t seem so silly afterall.
Yes, Morgan, it is about foreign policy.
If Bush had been militarily competent in the Middle East he would have had to invade Syria, Iran, and Iraq and place nuclear Pakistan in a nice pincer with Afghanistan to the east…Assuming he could have gotten that level of support nationally.
John McCain supports the current Bush policy which is really nothing more than another “limited War” like Vietnam-all the while we in America are supposed to cow-tow to the latest Islamo-rant from CAIR…
War on Terror?
I’m still waiting for it-it should have been done by now, don’t you think.
Obama is correct (dare I agree with him) when he calls McCain “Bush III” in this regard.
Frankly, if this is what we are going to do in the middle East “a little war here, a little war there..” -this will go on for decades- in which case we might just as well do what the Paulians propose, Morgan-and I never supported Ron Paul because of his stance on foreign policy,but I’m beginning to have second thoughts.
PS. No disrepect intended by the way, Morgan, I just don’t agree with you here today-maybe on some other day we will.
#105:
You’re still waiting for it? Really? What do you think Iraq is? It’s a beachead; a way for us to create a wedge between two terrorist nations: Syria and Iran. In the meantime, we get rid of a murderous dictator who was financing homicide bombers and who was in violation of the Gulf War ceasefire.
We’re embargoed against wishing anyone other than Osama bin Laden’s untimely demise here, so all I am free to do is to call upon the Senator to meet and surpass his actuarial obligations.
Also, it might be a good idea to invest in Kool-Aid futures, given the reaction of the conservative electorate if Pres. McCain gets to sign his amnesty bill.
Agreed. I don’t know how any self-respecting citizen, let alone conservative or whatever, would vote for a guy who panders to “the Race” and wants to make our citizenship worthless.
As far as the Presidential race is concerned, we’re already screwed. Conservatives, and other people with brains if any, need to focus on Congress. Congress is more important than the President.
God help us and the idiots who put McCain in the position he’s in.
RE: # 105.
When Bush invaded Iraq, I thought that it was what you just said…but as long as you leave Syria and Iran untouched, you re-create the Vietnam War problem of the NVA/Vietcong being able to attack in South Vietnam and then run back to North Vietnam, Laos,and Cambodia-and leave the enemy (and the libs) a sanctuary come back and hit you again militarily and politically.
Of course no President will eliminate the threat of a terrorist attack, khan, and it’s the job of the President to provide for the national defense, but working to prevent terrorist attacks abroad and at home provides for the national defense.
There are other ways to deal with Syria and Iran, love2rumba. One thing would be helping the opposition to the mullahs that exists in Iran. As for Syria, showing support for Lebanon and Israel would be a good alternative to military action in my opinion.
About #106, love2rumba, I don’t take any disrespect from your comments. We just have to agree to disagree.
Morgan no you don’t have to remind me he has the nomination, THAT I am aware of. I have tried to weigh the pros and cons and just can’t seem to want to vote for John McCain OR for the Democrats! We are really not left with much, are we! I wonder if Ralph Nader is still thinking about running? Can’t vote that way either. We really have alot to think about for this race, but guess we also need to start looking ahead too, and start planning on some damage assessment and what we need to do to change things then. Maybe we are just a little too late for this election!
i know y’all hate to let facts get in the way of your MDS hysterics, but the press release merely says he plans to attend the convention; it doesn’t specifically say he will speak there …
Heh, MDS. I love it.
Smart move right before the NC primary tomorrow. VOTE FOR ANYBODY BUT McCAIN. “No preference” is a choice on the ballot. Paul and Huckabee are also on the ballot. Let’s keep this disrespectful POS below 50%.
i just ripped it off from BDS a few weeks ago …
# 117
sooo, you into absolutely & completely meaningless gestures outside of politics too?
Yeah, Buckaroo, THAT’s it….a Presidential candidate is going to “attend” the convention of a group whose votes he’s wooing, but he’s going to sit on his….thumbs….letting other people use that forum to make speeches and get media exposure.
Yeah….THAT’s it…national political candidates do it all the time!!!
People, people, people. McCain has assured us that he heard us on this issue. I take him at his word.
I am sure that he will give La Raza a little of the ole straight talk express. He will tell them to take their racist, pro-Mexican agenda and stuff it – he will vow that losing without their support is better than winning with it. He will reassert his dedication to our sovereignty and commitment to enforce existing immigration laws.
It will be a defining moment in his career and in this campaign. He has just been waiting for the right venue to make this clear – and this conference is the time and place.
Oh, geez I didn’t see what time it was. I missed taking my meds at noon. Gotta go!
/sarc
someone seems to be messing with the comment nos. what was # 117 re: NC became #118, it is that comment to which i am referring to in what is at present #120 …
Several sources are reporting McCain plans to “address the convention”. Google it. The transcript should show everything you open-border zealots are looking for in a president.
# 124
hey dumbass, i am far from an open border zealot — i just don’t possess mds at the moment …
As an AZ resident, I must continue my personal record of NEVER having voted for Juan.
Since so many of the Sheeple in AZ will, I will vote for Nader, or whomever the Libertarians are putting up. A good number of like minded CONSERVATIVES in AZ will do the same . . .
Juan McCain is as worthless as the other two running for POTUS — It’s definatly “NONE OF THE ABOVE” vote for me

Double legal immigration? Let me ask you wise_man, what population number would you consider the US to be “full”? You have a plan. A plan that does not think out past maybe 10 years. So when do we put out he “no vacancy” sign? Or do you beleive we can grow our population ad infinitum with no negative consequences to future generations? Is it 500M (projected by 2050 at CURRENT levels)? 1B? 2B? Correct me if I am wrong but I am having a very hard time finding a country with 1B that has a good quality of life. Low pollution, open spaces, clean water, ample food production, not crowded, etc. Or are you one of these guys that believes quality of life and population density are independent? Like it or not we will reach a point that stretches our resources beyond their limits. I would rather reduce the mass immigration numbers of today to a level that is sustainable for many centuries while providing a high quality of life to all Americans. A system that allows only the best and brightest, rather than the come one come all (diseased, illiterate, low IQ indivuals) policies of today.
# 121
as i said, far be it for me to derail mds in someone …
Also worth noting that it’s bad enough that the name of the group is “The Race”, or un-mixing their full title “National Council of The Race”; Their slogan is roughly translated as “for those of THE RACE, everything; for those not of THE RACE, nothing.”
McCain is an IDIOT. (thier not talking about the Irish race, dontcha know . . . )
McShame does not reach across the aisle, he’s already there…He’s a damn liberal!

This is a CBS report on how much illegals cost Americans re: anchor babies.
All while Americans are struggling to pay their own medical bills….
and some being forced to sell off assets to pay for medical expenses.
# 129
not to speak for w_m, but al he posited was an increase in immigrants coming here legally for some years, coupled with removal of the illegals. not sure why you extrapolated it to some ehrlich-like “mass starvation!” scenario …
Poor John McCain. Pandering to the blacks in North Carolina; pandering to the Mexicans. Yet, neither group will vote for him because they are, by and large, democrats. So he’s selling out his own party for a couple of minority votes, while he bleeds support from the base. This guy doesn’t want to be president; he just wants to run for president. “Look at me! I’m runnin’ for president! And I’m just a swell friend to ‘all Americans,’ even the ones who are, you know, citizens of other freakin’ countries.” Shut up, John. Just. Shut. Up.
Buckaroo, should McCain grant amnesty as part of his first hundred days or should he wait a year? It is going to happen thanks to McKool-Aid drinkers like you.
On May 5th, 2008 at 5:43 pm, Buckaroo said:
No, you are a liberal troll stirring things up, a mcamnesty supporter troll, or a GOP troll. You always show up when mcamnesty makes another idiotic move and p*sses down the base’s back yet again. Screw mcamnesty. I will NOT vote for the pr*ck. I will not leave it blank while I am there voting for other races, so I will write in Tancredo or Hunter. No need to respond and call me names or tell me how I cutting my nose off. A vote for mcamnesty only reinforces the GOP drift leftward.
I want to reward good behavior and punish bad behavior. How hard is that to understand?
People who obey the laws, wait in line, and file the paperwork should not be punished as a result of the many people who violate our border, break our laws, commit identity theft and then blame “RACISM!!!!” when an American citizen says that they want our nation’s laws enforced.
Again, to be clear, I do not want to halt all US immigration. I want it doubled. I want the US border secured, and I want the people who broke and continue to break the law to be identified when caught and deported. The problem is illegal immigration, not legal immigration. Simple as that. Immigration is a source of pride for our country.
Or at least it should be.
On May 5th, 2008 at 5:49 pm, Buckaroo said:
So what is your plan then? Just bring them in at double the current rate as he recommended? And then what? Stop it in 25 years? 50 Years? When we reach 500M? 1B? What? That plan only trades one problem with another if you actually take the time to think through the logical outcome.
Guess McCain heard they picked the Democrat to back in Florida.
Immigration is not “a problem.”
On May 5th, 2008 at 5:56 pm, wise_man said:
Fair enough. But you failed to answer any of the questions posed. Just double the immigration rate. Ok. Then what? Census bureau predicts we reach 500M popluation in 50 years at current levels. So doubling puts us in 2050 at, oh 750M to be conservative. Is that a good number? How about 1B? Why not just allow everyone to come in that is checked and not a criminal? Why just double if triple that many want to come here legally? I am just saying we have to think out further than a decade or 2 when deciding policies that will shape our children’s futures.
On May 5th, 2008 at 6:02 pm, wise_man said:
No. But MASS immigration that will double our population every 50 years is. Sane immigration policy is a boost and good for America. Bringing in masses of people each year that will be dependent on the gov’t for survival is idotic. Set standards that someone must meet (education, English, IQ, skill set, or something).
Guess what? Tom Tancredo would have taken care of all these issues, and more. But, Americans, specially the Republican Party, rejected Tom. So, now you get Juan McCain. After rejecting Tom Tancredo, Americans sure deserve:
- Hillary “No-woman-is-illegal” Clinton.
- Mobarak “Driver’s-licenses-for-illegals” Obama.
- Juan McCain.
Because, You see, in a democracy, people get the government they deserve.
Good for you! Atleast, you will respect yourself for standing for your conacience, instead for corrupt sell-out presidential candidates. I shall do the same.
Immigration is “a problem”.
Any rational reason why, or just because you get a warm fuzzy from lots of immigration?
It is amazing to me that McCain is not getting the advice from his staff that would assure his victory in November. This one issue will make it very hard to swallow hard and vote. Obama and Hillary are worse to the 10th power and I can’t desert the troops and not vote.
Illegal immigration is a very big problem.
It’s worse than a problem. It would be a national disaster.

hey twerp — long walk, short pier.
I am beholden to no one except myself — I have been commenting on this blog, on many threads, for some weeks now. And yes, for the general election 2008 I am a JSM supporter. you whine about the gop “drifting leftward” yet you choose a path of action that guarantees a destructive far-left donk candidate taking office, i i’m gonna call you on it all the way to november if i have to …
Some people keep saying that they will vote for McMelonhead because of who he would pick for SCOTUS. They believe his picks will be Conservatives even though he was a part of the Gang of 14, said that Justice Alito was too conservative and he is part McCain-Feingold which is an attack on the 1st Amendment.
What I like to point out (once more) is that as long as McCain has this CLOWNWarren Rudman as part of his campaign, don’t plan on McIdiot picking a Conservative SCOTUS.
Warren Rudman was the one who hookwinked George Bush Sr into picking Justice David Souter whom we all know is a liberal piece of scum.
Remember that in a few years when the 2nd amendment is gutted, anything that might be “bad for you” is outlawed, taxes are doubled or tripled, and unemployment is back to the double digits, and the Supreme Court is filled with Ginsburg clones. It can sure get a heck of a lot worse than a McCain presidency.
Vote McCain and let your opinion be known! Write letters and make calls. Vote for the most conservative congressional candidates you can find. Remember, if we can take back Congress, even a pro-amnesty president is impotent.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. -Edmund Burke
I knew he was lying at CPAC! He didn’t hear us. Now as republican it’s time to start the pest campaign to his campaign quarters!
He lost me back during the Keating 5.
McCain was on Fox News today saying:
“The immigration debate has hurt the Republican Party with Hispanics. Most Hispanice want the border secured.”
I’m sure he meant the rejection of the Kennedy/McAmnesty bill that shut down the Senate phone system…..and that the vast majority of legal American opposed in a very vocal way.
Please write Sen McCain and tell him what you think about this I did see below.
http://www.johnmccain.com/Contact/
Senator McCain,
I have just read you’re attending LaRaza Ntl convention. This is a racist hate organization trying to stop citizens like myself from making illegal aliens follow our nation of laws. I now have no intention of voting for you in this election. You told us at CPAC you heard us. You obviously haven’t heard us or you don’t care about WE THE PEOPLE (CITIZENS)
I’m sorry Concerned Citizen, but crapweasel puts it just like it is with McCain.
He is basing his campaign on the idea he can snuff out conservatives by drowning our numbers with “replacement voters” from the libs, illegal aliens and such.
After thinking about this today, the only hope we have is if McCain is running so neck and neck with Obama, that he FINALLY comes to conservatives
for help…this is what happened to GW Bush in 2000 and 2004-and he had to reach out to us, even though he was never one of us.
It is at this juncture, we should let him know as a unified body what we want from McCain-or the deal is off in Novemeber. That is use his own desire for Presidential power against him, like a judo move.
Then its McCain’s race to lose.
Strict law enforcement, with no ‘amnesty’ or rewards of residency for illegal aliens, is what both Democrats and Republicans want, according to this poll. Too bad there is no candidate representing our wishes.
We just have to keep working at the state level and repeat what American citizens did during McCain-Kennedy II and III in 2007 – keep calling their representatives until they believed us.
Follow the (tax) money.
The Stormfront is an ethnic separatist group, they don’t don’t get a dime, you don’t hear much from them either (strange how that works).
NCLR gets at least about fifty mil of our tax monies, plus many many millions of Corp. and foundation cash, we hear lots of ethnic separatist rhetoric from them, including a demand for an abridgment of our freedom of speech.
Why would they want that?
Who decides domestic racism is bad but foreign racism is good?
Who’s going to decide where descretionary millions of (tax) bucks will go?
McJaun will, thats who.
SnObama and Hillary would be, just worse.
Just heard on CNN that we can expect another wave of illegal immigrants to be headed our way because of the food shortages in Mexico and other countries south.
right on, Weary Citizen.
you nailed it perfectly.
Juan McPain, or Uncle Samnesty, as I call him, seems to have a few of his minions on this blog insulting conservatives who don’t like his open borders pandering.
Citizen Kane is a good movie
anti-Citizen McKain is a bad movie
with a scary ending
Why in the heck is the media letting him get away with having Juan Hernandez in his camp? That guy is a complete jerk and an open borders fanatic. We need to make as big a fuss about him as we did about Jeremiah Wright!!!

I will not vote for the LESSER OF TWO EVILS However:
I WILL VOTE. There are always issues on the ballots that need attention.
VOTE-just leave Pres blank or write in someone of nonor.
….. honor
McCain was just on the news saying he “doesn’t like the tenor” of the anti-illegals debate.
it ain’t opera, pal.
I don’t like the “tenor” of Juan McPain’s pandering to illegals, or his disdain for conservative American citizens’ concerns for this country. THAT is what matters, but he just does not care.
I just left an email on McCain’s site, though I doubt I’ll get an answer. I’d really like to know how he can speak to any organization named “The Race”. They are simply a more modern version of the Klan IMHO. Plus, they advocate a position that calls for the loss of US sovereignity.
I’ll vote. Likely for a write-in, the Constitution Party or Libertarian Party for President.
The Bush & McCain wing of the GOP destroying this country.
Immigration is NOT a problem. Illegal immigration is a problem. We are a nation of immigrants. We should also be a nation that observes it’s people that obey the law. When foreign nationals enter this country and trespass, break the law, commit identity theft and fraud, then they need to be deported to their country of origin.
Legal immigration should be encouraged and not interfered with.
This is a very simple concept to understand.
Well, I’d been wondering why McCain’s response to the Racist Wright/Obama connection was so luke-warm.
Now I know.
How can McCain criticize Obama for his 20+ year association with Racist Wright, when he himself has a rock-solid relationship with a racist organization?
So we can just let Pakistanis, Arabs, and other anti-American savages move here as long as they do it legally, right? Those Somalis in St. Paul are assimilating just fine, aren’t they? HOw about those Arabs in Dearborn? How about that central Asian in Seattle who shot up that Jewish center? Are you fine with that too? Have you been paying attention to the legal immigration to Britain?
My gosh. You’re a fool.
I agree…and i’m with you…the way McNasty is acting how can anyone guess or expect what he will do other than go further left, he needs votes and i say he can’t win without the majority of gop base, plain and simple.
Meeting with “The Race” is absurd, their as racist as the KKK or the SS Troopers of Germany….good thinking McNasty “the candidate for all the people” he says…what a dufus.
Whats that Phrase again LibsREvilDoers? Oh Yea.. “You Get the Government YOU Deserve” Never a Truer Word spoken. Go ahead GOPers(you dont deserve the title Conservatives), and vote for Who you think is the lesser of three Evildoers.. but remember.. you wont be able to say JACK about it when your guy takes this country Down, while Little Opie(Lindsay Graham) flashes you that toothy chiteating grin of his while calling you a “Bigot”.. go ahead and dont say a word when it all comes crashing down because YOU sold your very Soul on election day.
Forget the nose plugs, I’m gonna need a barf bag when I step in that voting booth in November.
Were the DieBold machines all hacked for McCain in the primary or what? I didn’t vote for him – WHO DID? Show of hands please. We’ve all been snookered and had better quickly come up with a plan B to save our country or we’re about to see the hate America crowd – have their way.
blockquote>McCain to speak at open-borders La Raza (”The Race”) conference
By Michelle Malkin • May 5, 2008 02:33 PM
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”).
President McCain, President Clinton, President Obama..President Obama?? We are so screwed..
whoops sorry MM and fellow posters, one too many jagers.
How about what his campaign says?
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”).
Obama may be right–McCain is another Bush. It is amazing to me that lots of Republicans believe that by granting Amnesty to 20,000,00 illegal aliens, they will continue to work in jobs that “Americans won’t do”. One of the principal issues of the May 1 marchers in Chicago was the demand for better jobs.
The 1986 Amnesty showed us that when illegals receive either a valid work authorization or provisional Green Card, they leave the fields and other hard jobs almost immediately. Under the 2008 Amnesty supported by the three bobos, we will hear a loud sucking sound as the illegals flee the restaurants, car washes, farms, and room service hotel jobs for greener pastures.
And you know what that means–another rush of illegals to fill the void.
Vote Chuck Baldwin–Constitution Party!

Buckaroo, whether you realize or not, you have become the Kool-Aid Drinker in Chief for McCain on this site.
Apparently it’s OK with you if the two main political parties represent nothing more than shades of liberalism.
It’s OK with you that your candidate spits on the First and Second amendments, and jeers at the constitutional originalism motivating Supreme Court justices such as Alito, Thomas, , Roberts and Scalia.
That being the case you are the mortal enemy of conservativism and all it stands for.
It apparently escapes you that whether McC gives the keynote speech or merely sits approvingly in the audience, that he is consorting with a racist, fascistic group that seeks to undermine the United States of America, that favors reconquista, that has a motto curiously parallel to that of the Italian fascists, which was “Everything in the state, nothing outside the state”.
Gird your loins, sirrah! You’re in for a rough ride here among the Patriots of MM.com.
Well i just sent an email to the GOP telling them i am no longer supporting them and i will be contacting the elections board tomorrow morning and changing my party affiliation. McCain is going to force that immagration down our throat whether we want it or not. The Gop party has betrayed us all and i will not support a party who claims to be of conservative values but shows it liberal core.
Yay ME! I won a prize! Woo hoo!
Thanks Buckaroo! Coming from you it is indeed a compliment!

am i supposed to be intimidated by that?
as long as you really think there is no difference between JSM and his 2 opponents, there’s little I can do to help you …
“your candidate spits on the First and Second amendments, and jeers at the constitutional originalism”
btw, a tiny bit of evidence for that screed might be nice …
If McCain wins in November, conservatism is dead for a long time, if not forever. I prefer 4 years of Jilly Carter like presidency to usher in a real conservative. I don’t buy the argument that we have to vote for this unacceptable man just because he is the lesser of 2 evils, he will only ensure that the ultimate evil and end of this country comes FASTER. I will NEVER vote for him, in fact, I am considering purposefully voting for the dem to make sure McCAin loses and save the US in the long run.
As bad as he may be, he is still right more often than HRC or BHO. One of the three will be the President, and if you all think it is worth it to prove something to someone by throwing your vote away, you are crazy. Who are you going to show by voting D? Is it worth it to have a D pres, Senate and House? Where is the possibility for a veto? If you give the Dems all the power for 4 years, there is no telling how much damage that they can do. I would rather have a broken R than a full-up socialist D as POTUS. Do not abstain or vote D.
I used to give generously to the GOP and stopped in 2006. They keep sending me PAST DUE notices (what a joke), among other requests, and I send them back with a copy of the “pesos” with Senior Bush on it. McCain should ask his wife for money.

well said …
/oh, and prepare for flames, pal …
I am not crazy, I am willing to take my chances, just as you McCain supporters are willing to take yours with this man who has shown only contempt towards conservatives. Good luck and let’s see who turns out to be the wiser in the end. Just don’t insult some of us or call us crazy or stupid. The more McBots call people like me names, the MORE I become resolved to NEVER EVER pull the lever for McCain, EVER.
“let’s see who turns out to be the wiser in the end”
um, that would be whoever DOESN”T put shillery or b.o. in the wh …
I’ll make it easy for thse who did what GAMidnightRider did:
Here are the email addresses of the RNC people:
Chairman@gop.com
info@gop.com
RNCommunications@gop.com
Info@gop.com
Political@gop.com
ecampaign@gop.com
Membershipservices@gop.com
Please send email to them, stressing three points:
* that La Raza is a racist organization working to the detriment of the USA
* that John McC appearing before them is no different than if he were to give a sermon supporting Black Theology at “Rev” Wright’s church, in that just showing up legitimizes their positions and policies.
(no bs from water carriers like buckaroo, please, who will tell us that McCain will give a tepid speech. That’s not the point: ONLY if McC tells La Raza to stick their racism and fascism up their arses will his speech satisfy us)
* that you no longer consider yourself a GOP member, and that their appeals for money and votes are useless. (ask yourself: just where is the GOP getting new money these days? )
I’ll let someone else come up with email addresses for the mccain campaign itself, to do the same thing.
Bottom line: tell’em you don’t get their vote OR their money!
They may say they have written us off already, but it’s curious that they still litter my snailmail with requests for $$ (which I send back, postage on their nickel, with a hearty FU scrawled across their mailing!).
Precisely why McCain isn’t getting my vote.
Roger, Buckaroo. I have been saying this for a while, but not in such a strident atmosphere as tonight. I am a Reagan fan myself, but I don’t believe in fighting for the same ground twice. For some reason, enough Rs (or maybe some unpublicized OPN CHAOS in reverse waged by Randi Rhodes…)got McCain the nomination. Ergo, he gets my vote. No way am I going to sit around for four years and hope that collectively we clue in and can vote out the incumbent.
I will make it….really….really…SIMPLE for Buckaroo.
Hillary and Obama have told us what they will do. they both are in favor of supporting “amnesty”.
John McCain has NOT told us EXACTLY what he will do, especially on illegal immigration. He won’t even admit the plain meaning of his Kennedy-McCain legislation, which was…. amnesty.
Instead he has waffled, he has prevaricated, he has let his contempt for those who oppose illegal immigration and other conservative positions squeak out, like a poorly-held fart.
WHY should we vote for a WEASEL??? why should we accept his position , which is “EFF YOU, but vote for me anyway”
Just answer the friggin question, will you, buckaroo?

firstly, piss off with the gratuitous attacks …
secondly, it’s hardly as if it’s a secret with how to electronically get a hold of the JSM campaign —
here
you can also flood all 50 state offices — go nuts!
have a blast
Buckaroo, don’t be so sure, so many have fallen by that certainty sword. But I understand how some are so terrified, so scared of the other 2 that they are willing to get kicked in the face (as conservatives) over and over and over by McCain. I don’t blame you guys for feeling this way. I guess if McCain sees that conservatives are willing to take anything and still vote for him, why should he try to, in any way, appease conservatives? No need, such are in his collumn no matter what he does to them. I am just not willing to be abused like that. I have voted for the “lesser of 2 evils” before and it did not turn out very well at all. I simply cannot stomach it and I strongly believe that it will be the wrong move.
“I am a Reagan fan myself, but I don’t believe in fighting for the same ground twice. ”
Huh. You call yourself Armored CAV, and yet you don’t believe in WINNING BACK previously-won ground?
So, I guess you believe in ….retreat and defeat?
What did you do in the Armored CAV: peel potatoes?
