La Raza Twin Powers: Activate!

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 16, 2008 11:58 PM

1arazatwins002-copy.jpg Have you heard? John McCain wants to hold a town hall debate with Barack Obama at the La Raza/The Race convention in July, where both are scheduled to deliver suck-up speeches to the pro-illegal immigration elites.

What exactly would these two Raza Twins have to “debate?”

Let’s see:

Who would pass a bigger shamnesty?

Who would offer more earmarks and federal loans and grants to La Raza/Race?

Who would clamp down on the free speech of immigration enforcement proponents more aggressively?

Whose anti-border advisor is more radical?

Who can accuse grass-roots conservative activists of bigotry more quickly?

Swell.

Says the McCain camp:

Still pressing for joint town hall meetings with Democrat Barack Obama, presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain on Monday proposed a joint appearance when the two are scheduled to address the National Council of La Raza convention in San Diego next month.

“Both of us have accepted invitations to speak to that organization,” McCain told a news conference at his Arlington, Va., campaign headquarters. “My recommendation is that we have a town-hall meeting together in front of La Raza.”

“I think people will be far more informed and maybe in some ways entertained if we had that format,” the Arizona senator added.

“Entertained?” Only if your idea of entertaining is watching two like-minded pols grovel in front of the nation’s leading Latino ethnic supremacist organization.

Form of…a really bad proposal.

Shape of…yet another nose-thumbing at the GOP base.

    I do often wonder is that damn fool McCain wants to be President. He keeps reaching for a non existant ‘moderate’ base thus shunning the conservatives.

    I have never stayed home on election day and I don’t see myself ever doing so. I have also never failed to vote for the Republican but John McCain just might push me to Barr.

    We are told he is the better on defense. But how can that be if he will let in anybody who wishes to come here?

    Illegal aliens murder
    12 Americans daily

    And if a group of those illegal, or amnestied, aliens decided to bomb a building or mall how safe are we?

    A nose thumbing? Heh. More like the work of a fat fingered proctologist.

    JimM, that is flat out ugly, and happens at least twice a year damn it. :(

    Golly gee willakers, I am not believing the gall of McCain. Why not just slap taxpayers in the face and be done with it.

    I return each and every request for money I receive from the Republican Party with this note – when the Republican Party reinfranchises (I just made that word up) conservatives I will once again contribute. But that right now I don’t have a party to contribute my money to so I’ll just keep it and buy gasoline.

    If he wins with that kind of ticket, pressure for the exodus of conservatives to some kind of third party will likely increase, not decrease.

    If McCain loses with such a ticket, it will be viewed as a collossal f#$k up by McCain that likely will not be repeated by Repubs in the future (because it didn’t work)-especially if the margin of loss is more than 5%

    Ugh. Even my son who lives in downtown San Diego AND is an Obama supporter (~sigh~ I know, I know…) thinks this “convention” in itself is ludicrous and doesn’t think “his” candidate should be pandering to La Raza. I live about 30 miles away from downtown and can only imagine what the news coverage will be like. Maybe I just won’t watch or read (except for Michelle’s site). I can’t bear to listen to Enrique Morones—who’ll be thinking that he’s died and gone to Heaven—droning on. He’ll be saying, “What a country! ‘The Race’—ahhhhh….right in my back yard.”

    Can I come stay with one of you fine folks for a few days?????

    Given the minds involved, they may come to the conclusion that he didn’t move far enough to the left and will try to correct that next time around. Either way, the Republican Party looks to be defunct, at least in the short term.

    Just when you though the “grumpy old man” couldn’t look any worse he is back to pandering to the illegal invaders among us. It is bad enough he is speaking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time about increasing production of oil, while wanting to slap the oil companies with increased taxes for their obscene 9-10% profits. At this rate I won’t be able to afford the gas to drive to the polls in November. We really are screwed in 08!

    That, coupled with Obama’s stammering, uh’s, um’s and ah’s would make that spectacle entertaining indeed.

    I almost forgot the entertainment of the resurrection of the tired phrases of the amnesty debate:
    *Doing the jobs that Americans won’t do
    *We are a nation of immigrants
    *”I would have the state governors certify that their border is secure”
    *Comprehensive immigration reform
    *Guest worker visa
    *Pathway to citizenship
    *Immigrants
    *Undocumented workers
    *Come out of the shadows
    *No woman is illegal

    Anyone else pissed off yet?

    No broken english there, just Spanish. This is the part that most of these politicians just dont get. And I suspect unless you live in/near a ‘concentrated area’ in a ‘border state’ you might not get it either.

    People in NY or DC that think having 20-30 different languages spoken piecemeal is what this is about are just not aware of what is really going on.
