5 more reasons McCain should stay the hell away from La Raza/The Race (but won’t)
I gave the top 10 reasons John McCain should repudiate the National Council of La Raza on Tuesday. Here are five more reasons he should stay the hell away from La Raza/The Race (but won’t):
5. La Raza/The Race joined the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in a failed lawsuit attempt to prevent the feds from entering immigration information into a key national crime database–and to prevent local police officers from accessing the data.
4. La Raza/The Race opposed the state of Oklahoma’s tough immigration enforcement-first laws, which cut off welfare to illegal aliens, put teeth in employer sanctions, and strengthened local-federal cooperation and information-sharing.
3. La Raza/The Race joined other open-borders, anti-assimilationists and sued to prevent Proposition 227, California’s bilingual education reform ballot initiative, from becoming law.
2. La Raza/The Race vehemently opposed common-sense voter ID provisions as an “absolute disgrace.”
1. La Raza/The Race has perfected the art of the ethnic shakedown at taxpayer expense.

Like John McCain said: “I’ll rely on people to judge me by the company that I keep.”

I just threw-up a little in my mouth…
Eeew…
Not like Republicans didn’t know this when they chose him as the nominee.
Have fun holding your noses. I’ve already convinced myself that neither party gives a hoot about people under 40 (or their young children). Therefore its reasonable for young people to vote for option C. If more people my age felt this way, we really could make a “change”.
Who would have thought, muslims and la raza teaming up?
L
I read number 2 on the list, and in the last paragraph is a condescending veiled threat that obviously worked on Juan McCain.
The Race: We would like to help the GOP, really we would. . .Pander to us, or you will never EVER get the Hispanic vote!!! Hoo-hoo-hooo-haa-haa-haaaa!!!!
Juan McCain: Your wish is my command, hefe.
One has to question McCain’s common sense when he associates himself with these bigots and race-baiters! What is he thinking? Doesn’t he sense that he will lose the presidency if he keeps this up? Most, and I mean most, voters cannot stand this organization or any other that calls for the secession of part of our country!
If La Raza is so loyal to Mexico, why don’t they fix that country that they love so much? I will tell you why, because Mexico doesn’t allow fools like this to operate freely! They will imprison them or worse while we coddle them for votes!
Pushing 1 for spanish, 2 for english coming in tres….dos…uno…..
I hate to say this, but we made our bed, and now we have to lie in it. We had one of the best crop of Republican candidates in recent memory, and this is the loser we wound up choosing.
McCain’s associations, the “company he keeps” and his soft heart for racist Mexicans have been known for years. It’s a bitter disappointment that more people didn’t take the time to research this for themselves before voting.
Vote for him? Yes. Support him? Not at all. A vote for McCain is a vote against Clintobama, and is the only way I can justify voting for this RINO.
McAmnestys’ support of “the race” will be his version of obbummers wright. With a majority of people screaming for a fix on illegal immigration, how can he continue to ignore us without suffering?
abstractmind,
yeah, and if you don’t press a button, you get put on hold listening to mariachi music!!!!! La cucaracha! la cucaracha! AAAAUUUUUGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
My native penis is angry.

I hate to say it but Buchanan has been right all along.
La Raza represents what is vastly wrong with our country today. They care about their ethnicity only. If it breaks America in the process, well so be it. They only care about furthering their own ethnicity’s welfare. Just like the NAACP, CAIR, Business lobby, Gay rights orgs, Unions, etc. (even MADD). Many started out with noble intentions (not CAIR, which has the goal of destroying the US IMHO) but as their power grew, the leaders became drunk on it. Wanting more and more power, memeberhsip, $, and influence. Now the orgs have outlived their usefullness but survive for the sake of survival. Nothing good comes out of a nation breaking into multiple groups all vying for power. Especailly when the politicians, like mcamnesty, bite and pander to them.

Thing is….I don’t think we chose him. I think it was the liberals’ own “Operation Chaos” (props to Rush), don’t you?
Democrats, and independents are the ones that “chose” McCain!! That is what brought on operation chaos that Rush Limbaugh has been behind.Also the MSM played him to the hilt cause they loved him, cause he’s really a democrat.
There were many democrats that were bragging about choosing McCain for the Republicans. (those that were interviewed at the polls)
Most Republicans, especially the conservatives did NOT want McCain!! We knew what he was. But now we’re stuck with him!!
fourstringfuror: That is the attitude that leads to the marginalization of your beliefs. If you vote for McCain and he gets elected, than it’ll be another 8 years before there is potentially a real conservative.
McCain losing would be a blow to RINOs everywhere and the ultimate form of RINO hunting. Do you really expect Obama to bungle the War so badly?
‘Thought so. Thanks, TanyaB.
McAmnesty, Geraldo, Fox, Bush, Obama, Clinton, Kennedy, La Raza – etc.

Exactly!!! If mccain (I don’t cap for lack of respect) wins in ’08, he becomes the defacto nominee in 2012. In which case, we get him for antoher 4 years or a liberal democrat. Either way, we get a dem or a liberal for 8 years. Period. If he loses, we get a socialist for 4 years and can maybe get a true conservative up in 2012. This assumes of course, a 3rd party can not break the 2 party system in 4 years. This does not even consider the fact that a mccain win will validate to the GOP leadership their strategy of moving left is correct. Even if it means shedding all vestige of conservative pronciples. To them a win is a win regardless.
I just saw this on FoxNews.com

When are the politicians going to wake up!!!!
There are at least four options for President. My preferences in order:
1.Chuck Baldwin Constitution Party
2.Bob Barr Libertarian Party
3.Ron Paul
4.Al Gore, who has a far better Immigration position than McCain
YoungandREstless,
Thank you for catching on to what is at stake. If McCain is allowed to win this fall, you can bet that there will be at least 10 more like him in a variety of races/
For those of you concerned about supreme court nominations…I have this to say-there is no evidence that John McCain will appoint conservatives…more to the point…given the current health of justices it is unlikely that the next presidentis going to make ANY appointments in the next 4 years, and at worst they would only replace a LIBERAL…the balance of power is maintained.
Last reason to not vote McCain-it will be much easier to fight libs on issues if we can get the RINOs out of the way-having McCain in ofice means we have to fight a 2 front war-fighting RINOs and Libs.
What is best for the country is a resurgent RINO-free conservative movemnet that has maximum opportunity to fight politically for its values unhindered by the RINO fifth-column.
#20 take a look at #11 you need to read the thread first
It is sad when the citizens of another country have 1000 times more influence on OUR country’s elected officials than those who have birth right citizenship.
If McCain is elected (It won’t be with my help)..I am going to call for his impeachment 12 seconds after he drops his right hand during the oath of office. he hates Americans!!!!!
Along with the Democrats and Independents, there were millions of Republicans who didn’t even vote, that also helped McCain, who was just above Ron Paul on my list of not voting for. I’ll vote for him in the general election, for I can’t sit home after voting for 51 years, and I’m defintely not voting for a marxist.
No, I don’t, actually. I think most voters only evaluate the candidates based soundbites they hear on the evening news. I think the vast majority of the voting public is woefully uneducated on the issues that matter. Call me an elitist, call me a snob, but I think it’s true, and I doubt I’m the only one.
I do not want to vote for McCain and wont if Hillary is the Dem nominee. If it is Obama, I think he is a dangerous Marxist and I will hold my nose when I vote for McCain but I will do it.
You are right. Which is why LaRaza and their supporters want to carve out a chunk of the southwest USA for their own independent nation, Aztlan? or sometning like that.
Trust me, They are very, wide awake! They know exactly what they are doing!!!
We are the ones who are asleep, and it ain’t gonna be pretty. Four years from now, after whichever one of the “gang of three” gets finished.
Funny – on the radio, he was described only as a “37-year old man.”
ROFL…as if normal hold music wasnt already bad enough, geez!
NY Post reporting BEDBUGS on the subways…Now can I thank LaRaza for that too???
I am no longer compelled to vote for RINOs. I turned in my Repub voting card in the Spring. I’m now a conservative independent. I see no conservatives running for president. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. I only support conservative candidates. If this nation is going to hell in a hand basket, it’s better a genuine socialist is carrying the handle than a fake conservative!!! Look at the damage caused to the conservative movement by our “compassionate conservative” sitting in the White House!
#32 no just the homeless bums that sleep in the subways
Do you actually believe that four years from now the ability for conservatives to regain power will not be diminished even further, if democrats prevail?
The lefties aren’t going to give conservatives a chance to snatch power back. Their main agenda will be to “reform” everything! So as to make it even more difficult for conservatives to get back in.
Obama, is the vanguard of a leftwing, socialist authoritarian takeover. If he gets elected, conservatives will be gagged at best. Imprisoned at worst…
Wait and see!
It might be time to anticipate the kinds of problems they have in Iraq by dividing the country into a federation of ethnic partitions–sort of a Biden plan for America. In the old days, 90/10 white/black was a stable configuration; but when you have multiple ethnic groups that are strong enough to compete for power, this is always a potentially unstable configuration for a nation. Instability is exacerbated by declining resources, which brings more competition, and corruption in government, and we have three presidential candidates who are proudly and publicly corrupt on enforcement of immigration laws for starters.
Our useless representatives chose him. I think you will find most here did not and would not choose McCain. They picked him and are now crying to us to support them. Ha! Like hell. The RNC is feeling it. Republicans are going to lose more seats over this mess. Don’t blame us. The fault clearly lies with politicians who refuse to listen to us – their base.
McCain was basically running unopposed in the North Carolina and Indiana primaries. One would think that he would have garnered close to 100% of the Republican vote. One would be wrong.
In North Carolina, McCain only mustered 74% of the primary vote. In Indiana, he did not do much better, with 77% of the Republican vote.
These statistics have gained little attention so far in any media. But they do show what should be a disturbing message to McCain-despite his lock on the nomination, a full quarter of Republican voters are not behind him.
He made a pledge at CPAC to work hard to unite the party behind him. He has done nothing of the sort. While he claimed to “get the message” regarding illegal aliens, his actions since securing the necessary votes for the nomination indicate otherwise.
While he voices his support of amnesty in some form as rooted in compassion, he has shown no compassion for the vitcims of crimes committed by illegal aliens or the American taxpayer. His early example of telling a soldier in Iraq that his family was going to be deported as an illustration of the inherent unfairness in enforcing our current laws, was turned on its head when a soldier serving in Iraq had to be informed that her son was killed by an illegal alien.
From McCain’s course of conduct, it looks as though he is making a conscious effort to scarifice conservative votes in the hope of picking up independents and conservative democrats. Unfortunately for McCain, the advice he is getting from Juan Hernandez regarding illegal immigration flies in the face of the views of over 80% of all voters.
His appearance at LaRaza will further polarize his candidacy. And given that neither democratic candidate is making an appearance at LaRaza, his ties to that group will likely be used against him in the general election.
Agreed.
At the expense of sounding like i’m being a relativist again…at this point, one candidate is almost as good as another. If you were to take a news article, and simply change the names (sub Hillary for McShamnesty, him for Obama), it would be difficult to tell the difference. It’s almost like “fill in the blanks” news:
_____________ discussed legislation in regards to a path to citizenship today in Washington D.C.
It makes me sick we dont have someone who really does represent the will of the people.
I’m not concerned with 2012, 2016,etc. because if Obummer goes in, he’ll take a lot of dem seats with him, and then he’ll tuck the Country’s tail between his legs and haul $ss out of Iraq and Afghanistan. He will also bring the terrorist with him because by the time he’s sworn in, all of our defensive mechanisms, will be gone and there will be no way to know where they are, or what they’re up to.
You can vote for Obummer or stay home to show the Rinos you mean business, but I can’t. This is not pre 9/11 politics. There’s only one war front I’m concerned about and that’s the terror front.
I can’t tell anyone who to vote for, and I’d never do that, but I can urge people to vote against someone who doesn’t give a hill of beans about you or your saftey, and your pocketbook. Im urging eveyone to vote for McCain and the senators and representives who are up for re-election.
If wwe can keep contol of the Oval Office, and regain Congress, then we have a better chance of saving this country of ours, and that’s my biggest concern. Without the country as we know it now, the differences between a Republican, RINOS, and Dems, won’t matter.
Ditto that x 10
to the ‘nth power!
I can’t get over how angry I am at our political class pandering and openly funding with our stolen earnings a racist organization that supports the illegal invasion of this country. At this rate I am either going to have that heart attack I have been working on over the last couple of years, require extensive anger management training, or end up leading a revolt against my own government. Every value that once made this country great I have been raised on (personal responsibility, self reliance, hard work ethic, honor, duty, country, etc.) and applied during my 25 years of military service has been compromised by our lazy pandering politicians, usurpation of our rights via Federal judges legislating from the bench, and/or through rampant voter fraud (or did nobody notice reported record turn in of absentee ballots in primarily ethnic precincts during NC and IN primary). I don’t know how much longer I can sit back and do nothing, because I have learned playing within the system is not working for conservatives or conservative values.
Arkansas is taking a step in the right direction…although it is weak and imputent of a step.

Yea.. have people give an “Oath” that they can legally accept social services is really (Sarcasm) going to work.
You have people who violate the law entering our country..(and are Not punished), give fraudulent info and documents to get work/housing etc..(again are not punished)…so they already know they can just lie in their useless “oath” and no one is going to punish them. Only Americans have to obey laws… they are just suggestions for illegals.
Two years of Bill Clinton backed by a Democrat-controlled Congress was enough to give the Republicans control of Congress in the mid-term elections. Come November I’ll take my chances and write in the name of a true conservative rather than cast a vote for anyone on the ballot.
One more reason, LaRaza is anathema to the Republican base.
a·nath·e·ma (Ã nathÆÃ mÃ), n., pl. -mas.
1. a person or thing detested or loathed: That subject is anathema to him.
2. a person or thing accursed or consigned to damnation or destruction.
3. a formal ecclesiastical curse involving excommunication.
4. any imprecation of divine punishment.
5. a curse; execration.
[1520–30; < L < Gk: a thing accursed, devoted to evil, orig. devoted, equiv. to ana(ti)thé(nai) to set up + -ma n. suffix]

Better chance than conservatives stopping the GOP from moving even further left if mcamnesty wins. Do you think the GOP will become more conservative in 4 years if mcamnesty wins? If not, then what exactly are you hoping for? Is so, tell me how you intend to convince them they are off track when you just helped vote in a liberal? Validating the liberal GOP platform now, only condemns the party to liberal “compassionate” ideologies forever. The proverbial definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a differnt outcome.
I am not saying I would vote for a dem. No way. I will vote for Pastor Chuck Baldwin of the Constituion party or write in Tancredo/Hunter. In my mind, this is a much better strategy than supporting a party that no longer resembles conservative principles. Besides, I think mcamnesty will get enough dem crossovers who fear Obama as well to win the nomination. If enough conservative votes go outside the GOP nominee a clear message is sent to the GOP and 3rd parties. I will not support mcamnesty for POTUS.

Excellent analysis.
Seems to me any vote for mccain is a vote for his leftist unamercian ideas, plan and simple. There is no lesser of evils here, they all are evil, down to the core. Stop trying to justify your vote for him, HE MAYBE A REPUBLICAN, BUT HE IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE.
McAmnesty just won’t give up!
Whats really sickening is an equalizing 5ook grant to NumbersUSA would be a 200% improvement.
There’s something deeply disturbing about using our hard earned, forced, tax monies to thwart and betray the peoples will.
Hillary could come out ahead at the end if she just said sovereignty.
We didn’t make this bed. The MSM lied about all the Republican candidates until they got the one THEY wanted.

If you are not yet incensed over McCain and his pandering to advocates for illegal aliens:
1. Take your blood pressure medicine.
2. Read the news stories about illegal aliens on the left side of Outraged Patriots.
3. Repeat every day.
for those posting that they will vote for McCain because terrorism is their biggest concern.
McCain says he wants to close Gitmo, and give the terrorists trials in American courts. you know, so commie fat old broads like the lawyer who passed the secret instructions from the terrorist on trial to cohorts on the outside can run wild here.
and he wants no waterboarding, even of the most upper echelon terrorist leaders, even though getting info from these monsters would save American lives, especially our troops.
doesn’t sound like a terror warrior to me.
If this happens, we can’t convict. It will allow terrorist lawyers (Called Disclosure) to have access to our intel, spy operations, and depose the CIA and Undercover witnesses. I have a suspicion that the depositions will sound like this…
“You testify…we behead you and your family”…see you in court…maybe!!??!!??
McCain is too dumb to be a leader. I think he is even dumber that the open borders bonehead that sits in the Whitehouse now.
Pray for America… (Or better yet pray for Prez. McCain to be impeached/convicted and his VP being someone with half a brain and not prejudiced against Americans).
I wonder if (Jerry Spitting River’s Lover), Bill O’, will ask McCan’t about his love for amnesty tonight.
Young and restless #2 Republicans did not choose him, the democrats did by crossing lines and voting in Republican primaries. Think operation chaos is a new idea? Get with it!
