RNC’s new radio ad: McCain’s a bigger Hispanderer than Obama!
Here is the latest RNC radio ad for John McCain. Message: McCain fought harder for illegal alien shamnesty, so Latinos should vote for him!
Just another reminder, my friends, that the GOP establishment continues to 1) treat Hispanics as a monolithic bloc of open-borders sheep; 2) put p.c. pandering above the rule of law; and 3) thumb its nose at the conservative base in pursuit of votes they’re not going to get anyway.
We’re Screwed ’08!

RNC Launches New Radio Ad: “Commitment v. Rhetoric”
WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee (RNC) today announced a new Spanish-language radio advertisement, titled “Commitment v. Rhetoric.” As the Democrats prepare for their national convention in Denver, the radio ad will remind voters that Barack Obama has consistently shown a lack of leadership in defending the interests of the Latino community, while John McCain has consistently taken on the difficult issues facing America.
The Spanish-language ad will begin airing on Monday, August 25. It will air statewide in CO, including Denver, Colorado Springs/Pueblo, Aspen, and Fort Collins/Greeley. The ad will also air in Albuquerque and Las Cruces, New Mexico; Las Vegas, Nevada; and El Paso, Texas.

Title: “Commitment V. Rhetoric”
How do you know someone is a friend?
You know because they stand up and defend you when it is hard.
When Hispanics needed a friend in Congress during the immigration debate… Who stood up? Who spoke out?
John McCain.
Senator McCain worked with Republicans and Democrats alike to form immigration legislation.
And while the bill didn’t pass, only McCain demonstrated a real commitment to reforming immigration in a way that honored our laws as well as our immigrants and traditions.
And Barack Obama?
Obama did not stand up. Obama did not speak out. And when the time came for him to do the right thing, he did not.
Obama supported measures designed to insert a deadly “poison pill” to kill the immigration legislation.
If Obama didn’t even have the courage to stand up for immigrants, how can he claim to have the strength to change the way Washington works?
John McCain is ready to lead. Barack Obama is not.

RNC, meet the latest Rasmussen poll results: “Immigration priorities: 69% emphasize border enforcement, 21% emphasize amnesty.”

Is he trying to lose on purpose?
What part of illegal don’t they understand? I want a statesman now! Not these slimy used car salesmen they’re trying to foist upon us!
I guess he hasn’t learned his lesson.
Is he implying all hispanics are “immigrants”? Isn’t that stereotyping or did I wake up on the wrong side of the PC bed this morning. It’s so hard to keep it all straight.
But, when the Republicans got spanked in 2006 he claimed he did learn his lesson.
Sounds to me as if he needs to learn it again.
Wow, I never expected McCan’t would be able to find a reason for me to vote for Obambi.
We’re screwed 08′ Indeed.
Where do we get one of those?
That’s exactly what I meant, Tre. It’s looking like no matter who wins, we’ll be forced to crash the senate switchboards again to defeat the next amnesty bill that comes up.
We are screwed. John McCain learned nothing during the Comprehensive Immigration Reform debacle. It looks like conservatives are going to have to hold his feet to the fire again.
And when we killed the shamnesty legislation he said he “got the message, secure the border first”.
In the immortal of Bugs Bunny ” What a maroon”.
This is why it’s only in Spanish.
Only McCain, can defeat McCain.
LOL, I got an email a day or 2 ago from the RNC asking for a donation.
I replied: I was just getting ready to send a donation to John McCain when I heard about his ad that will run in Colorado. When will he and other Republicans learn that we, as taxpaying Americans, do not want any form of amnesty for illegal aliens.
Get it through your heads.
Laree, you said it all. (#12)
John “One Business Day” McCain will NEVER get my vote.
He is the most cynical politician I have ever known – and I wore an “I Like Ike” button.
2006: McCain-Kennedy Comprehensive Immigration Reform (sic) bill specified 90 days for the waiting period for a Z visa to accomplish background and health checks for 12 to 30 million applicants – an obvious impossibility.
2007: cynical John McCain changed “90 days” to “one business day”.
24 hours before allowing 12 to 30 million illegal aliens to be granted immediate permanent residency and a pathway to citizenship.
Perfidy. Treason, even.
Shhhh, its in Spanish, nobody’ll know.
“I get it” doesn’t play well here.
The place you need to take “I get it” to heart is that the people you tried so hard to betray Americans for, have abandoned you and they’re not coming back, before the election.
Then
Wrong and illegal are never satisfied.
Good question.
I’m sorry I’m Hispanic and I did not need Juan McCain to be my friend to pass an amnesty bill.. That is way I have Ted Kennedy! /Sarc off
How come they don’t call it like it is? Hispanics does not equal illegals…
sound of head hitting desk
When did legal immigrants and not legal immigrants end up together. I find it ridiculous. I’m sure his campaign got a deal advertising on Univision, anyone check into that?
You citizens are such complainers. Don’t you know America belongs to the world?
Ok, do I want to vote to live in the New Socialist Republic, or Meximerica?
I hope you republicans have learned the hard way.
We had excellent anti immigrant candidates in primaries but you had to vote for Mr Maverick just because he promised to behave.
Shame on you republicans for nominating Mccain.
Welcome to Los Estados Unitos de Mexico Norte
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…I don’t see how anyone who calls themselves conservative can vote for Juan for el presidente
how many times does he have to betray conservatives for us to get the picture??
thinking we can ‘influence’ mccain is delusional. he’s also a big-gov socialist supporting cap and trade, gun show limits, mccain-feingold free speech limits…and God only knows how greatly his presidency will hurt this country and the conservative movement.
Has McCain been a “friend” to conservatives? Has he stood up and defended them when it was hard? Or has he stood up and turned his back on them so he could reach across the aisle?
If republicans had nominated Tancerado, immigrants ( legal or illegal) would be shaking in their boots and packing their bags getting ready to leave.
The only possible solution IMHO would be to give a legal status to all those undocumented aliens currently in United States. This is America, a country made by immigrants. These people deserve to become LPR and later naturalized US citizens. Most of them are hard working people, who pay their taxes. There is NO WAY we can deport 13,000,000 people; I think Bush once said that massive deportation will never happen because it will hurt our economy badly: they are doing many jobs us Americans would never even think of doing.
I hear that. Hunter too.
Massive importation worked – why not massive deportation?
NO ENFORCEMENT = NO VOTES
The Stupid Party
The RNC wanted an amnesty candidate.
Don’t vote for one.
Another amnesty will result in Democrat majorities for decades, or until they are supplanted by the La Raza Party, why doesn’t the RNC know that? How stupid do you have to be to import voters for the opposition at the same time you alienate your own voters? Nominating any of the amnesty supporters is a losing proposition, we will not support them. If the GOP intends to surrender our sovereignty and abandon the rule of law, they will find in November 2008, that they still have their big money/cheap labor donors, but they do not have voters.
GOP-RIP
This is so effing discouraging, and frankly the ad is offensive to all legal citizens. It’s in Spanish? It is automatically assumed that people of Hispanic descent are good to go with amnesty for illegals?
Somebody needs to lose their job over this, and McCain needs to get his head out of his arse.
McCain is not a conservative.
1. He likes immigrants.
2. He does not want to torture prisoners.
3. He dumped is disfigured wife.
4. Keating five.
5. Mccain Feingold.
6. Criticized Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld in war time.
Of course there is. This is America; we can do anything if it’s determined to. It’s such a weak argument to say we can’t.
Sigh, I already live in Mexifornia, so Meximerica isn’t much of a change for me. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA and MARXISM!
Maybe Juan can give us a taxbreak on the Rosetta Stone Spanish language program.
The RNC is their own worst enemy. They just love to poke conservatives in the eye and expect them to blindly (no pun intended) support them and more disgustingly donate $$$$ to their campaign. Hark!! There go my men(conservatives), I must catch them, for I am their leader–not. Senor Mc Spain
Same thing.
Bingo!
McCain looks at the polls and says he does not have to concern himself with his base – he is doing okay. Like John said at post #1 – he is
tryinggoing to lose on purpose.Name one.
Questions for illegal alien apologists like John McCain:
Why does The National Council of the Race (la raza in spanish) and the Chamber of Commerce get to negotiate a “Comprehensive Shafting of The American Citizens” behind closed doors? Since when does an organization representing foreign nationals breaking our laws get to rewrite our immigration laws to suit the lawbreakers? Isn’t this akin to allowing NAMBLA to rewrite our laws regarding child predators? Or allowing organized crime syndicates to rewrite racketeering, gambling, prostitution, and extortion laws?
We The People are being told by our representatives that we should sit down and shut up while they invite in the entire world. We The People should get some say in this matter. Another amnesty will set off a stampede like we have never seen before. There is not much time to save our country. All the power and money are on the side of shoving this amnesty down our throats. The RNC wanted an amnesty candidate, don’t vote for one.
Instead WHINING about who is pandering the most, how about doing something NOW:
1. Do not let local politicians tell you, “it is not their problem, it is the federal government’s problem” CONTACT your County commissioner or City Council member, State Assemblyperson, State Senator, and Governor with this message:
“In accordance with the Immigration and Naturalization Act, section 287 g, State and local law enforcement have the authority to enforce federal immigration laws. Nevada is a sanctuary for illegal alien workers and illegal alien criminals that victimize our communities only because our representatives refuse to address this issue. Legal U.S. workers will not vote for any Representative that continues to support sanctuary for illegal aliens in Nevada.”
Here are links to the ICE fact sheet on the 287 (g) program, and also to the Center for Immigration Studies background report about this program.
http://www.ice.gov/pi/news/factsheets/070622factsheet287gprogover.htm
http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/back604.html
2. CONTACT your Congressmen and tell them to pass MANDATORY E-VERIFY Legislation, that is run by the Federal Government, NOT outsourced to a PRIVATE Co.
Tell them to vote NO on a VOLUNTARY system, and NO on any system that would outsource our S.S.#’s and personal information to a Private Co.
(E-Verify is a program for employers to check on the legal work status of a job applicant and it is used now, but it is voluntary.)
Here is a link to the House of Representatives Hearing about E-Verify, you can also do some other research on the internet about it.
VIDEO OF HOUSE ON E-VERIFY

Two Party system sucks. Mccain knows that conservatives dont hate him nearly enough to let Obama win. He knows we will hold our noses and vote for him just to defeat obama.
I wish Tancaredo/Hunter would announce an independent run .. They would sweep the electoral college.

Title: “Commitment V. Rhetoric”
How do you know someone is a friend?
You know because they stand up and defend you when it is hard.
When Americans needed a friend Who stood up? Who spoke out?
No One.
Senator McCain worked with Republicans and Democrats alike to sit around and do nothing about our illegal immigration problem.
And while nothing was done, they pretended as if it was a step in the right direction.
And Barack Obama?
Obama did the same thing. Nothing. They sit in their fancy offices and get nothing done. That is the problem, The worst action is inaction.
John McCain is ready to retire. Barack Obama is ready to go back to teaching.
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again
Oh babe, don’t you know that
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you’ve got to do is call
Lord, I’ll be there, yes I will
You’ve got a friend
You’ve got a friend
Ain’t it good to know you’ve got a friend
Ain’t it good to know you’ve got a friend
Oh yeah, yeah, you’ve got a friend
Bienvenido a Mexico, California Norte de Norte
This will posted in San Diego sooner or later.
Just when I get half a reason to hold my nose, get deeee-runk and vote for the Quasi-liberal…he up and gives me a solid reason to say to hell with it and stay home.
Wish Mr McCain, could spend some 3 to 4 hours with a hurt or sick child, behind a room full of illegal aliens in an emergency waiting room, and maybe he would understand why 75% of America is Furious, about the invasion we are going through.
USA_USA…youre a true patriot(not!) putting party above the good of the country…you think McCain cares about you? HA! Well you did vote for Bush probably twice, and what did that get us? a couple wars, a huge debt and embarrassment after failure for the last 8 years…

You think this is crazy, just wait for the ads we get when the libs finally make convicted felons into a significant voting bloc. Prison radio ad:
“Who stood up to get violent offenders like yourself out much, much earlier?”
“Who fought to keep harmful guns out of the hands of your victims?”
“Who obfuscated the laws so that you had a decent chance to get off on some crazy loophole?”
“Who made sure that, when you were convicted, taxpayer funded satellite tv would be available in your cell 24 hours a day to {wink} {wink} ‘keep you out of trouble’?”
Democrat X – He’s stacked the deck for you. And he knows you didn’t do whatever you did.
As an adult, I have pumped gas, cleaned helicopters and offices, washed and waxed floors and cars. I have friends who were motel maids, greenhouse workers, produce pickers, short order cooks and fence builders. None of us found this work demeaning. It was what was available to us and we were doing our best to make a living. What jobs won’t Americans do?
Anyone else just get a text message?
“Obama/Malkin 08?”
Is this true?
Sure explains things.
JOHN MCCAIN!!
JUAN HERNANDEZ TELLS US YOUR HEARING IS BAD.
ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE TO IMMIGRANTS AS HOME INVADERS ARE TO HOUSE GUESTS.
HOPE THAT HELPS YOU GET IT. SO FAR YOU HAVE NOT.
SECURE THE BORDER. PERIOD.
ENFORCE THE LAW.
NO NEW PATH.
Fraudulent Identification Maker.
Now we would never know …
You Gotta Vote
Please do NOT stay home. You must vote. You do not have to vote for Obama or McAmnesty. There are always other parties and people on the ballot. You could write in whoever you want.
The important votes are for House and Senate seats. Conservatives MUST win seats in the House. The House is where things get done. It was the passage of H.R. 4437, an enforcement bill, in Dec.05 that sparked the illegal alien protest marches and moved this issue to the front burner. It was the Senate that tried to jam amnesty down our throats. The D’s that won seats in ’06 were conservatives running on enforcement platforms. One of them, Heath Shuler D-NC, introduced the SAVE Act. Call, e-mail, or write your Congressman and urge support of this legislation. Enforcement is what Americans want, not amnesty.
Amnesty is a losing proposition.
I don’t think Obama is stupid enough to step in front of this bus.
McCain is. He’s done it twice already.
It is not too late to nominate someone — anyone — other than McCain at the Convention.
How many times can McCain give us the finger?
He may be saying “screw you”, but I refuse to say “We’re Screwed”.
McCain is, and always has been, trying to marginalize the “Ultra-Right”.
Guess who else is intent on “Defeating the Ultra-Right”? I’ve said it many times before, but I’m not going to stop saying it. The Communist Party USA is intent on “Defeating the Ultra-Right“.
The Preamble to the Constitution of the Communist Party USA begins:
How different is that from where John McCain wants to take us?
Is Amnesty for 20 million “proletariat” any clue to you?
Is his focus on AGW and “sustainable environment” any clue to you?
Do we really have no choice but to nominate this man as the Republican Party’s nominee?
I have never been a Ron Paul supporter, but I tell you I hope Paul and his supporters will find a way to prevent the “automatic” nomination of John McCain.
(tongue-in-cheek) “Help us Obi Wan Ron Paul, you’re our only hope for a brokered convention.”
I’m telling you, if they do this and are successful in preventing “We’re Screwed ’08″ we will all owe them a debt of gratitude.
I’m right there with ya’. Hunter was the only guy I sent money to in the Primary. Too bad he didn’t have more name recognition. Too much McCain, Thompson, and Guiliani in the press booth.
There’s always 2012.
Nominate Michelle Malkin or Robert Mann.
Well, right now I don’t care if he goe’s down to the border and shakes their hands coming across saying welcome My Friends I will fight that battle like last time with all who did. Obama is 100 times scarier than anyone ever to run for President of the United States.
and there’s no need to give me names, Odumbo tops the list.
Anybody have a towel? My head is bleeding all over my desk. I think I’ll attach a pillow to my desk and call it the McDohDesk. Any patent lawyers out there?
Last time we barely killed amnesty. I dont know if we will be so lucky next time around. Mccain is a hot head, he might do it just to spit on our faces for killing his dream the last time.
We did not pick McCain the liberal MSM and crossover voters in open primary states did. How many times did the MSM pander to McCain and ignore all the other candidates? By the time the primary came to my state McCain was the ONLY candidate left to choose from. Thats a choice?
With the way the democrats and repubs have the deck stacked a third party is nigh impossible.
I believe the solution is in the primary system. Do not allow crossover voting and schedule some kind of a national primary so that all of us have a chance to vote for a candidate.
Are you trolling for Bush/McCain with this tired old false dichotomy again?
Wrong!
The SAVE Act, Sensenbrenner’s H.R. 4437, and most American citizens want attrition by enforcement, which many states have enacted and which is working just fine, thank you.
Listen to an illegal alien himself tell you how well.
One good performance where McCain pretends to be an actual conservative changes nothing.
McCain is one of two evils and I am not sure he is the lesser of the two in every case.
I predict true Conservatives will reject McCain in November. If 5% of Rush’s audience is sincere in their opposition to McCain he has lost already and just doesn’t know it.
This is one of the primary reasons I don’t trust McCain and won’t vote for him in November. He doesn’t “get it” and will continue to support unconditional amnesty for illegal aliens.
I guess they MISSED the Rasmussen poll where a very solid majority of ALL Americans want the borders enforced now!
Someone needs to send this to the RNC and McAmnesty in oversize print so thos GD A$$hats get the message.
It sometimes is not that Americans won’t do a job, it’s that they don’t WANT to, or HAVE to do a job these days.
Part of the problem is our relative affluence, lack of discipline and welfare. It’s easier for too many Americans to be a bum, abetted by family and/or government these days instead of going out, finding and doing anything where muscle and/or brain is involved in any job and earning a living.
Also, the growth of both legal and illegal immigrants who are not required to learn and use english has its affect on the job market. In many areas of L.A. where latinos are replacing blacks as the dominant minority, black kids who do wnat to work are turned down for jobes in favor of kids who speak spanish.
lost my bet..
I thought it would be wise-man defending Maverick first..
it was Bill Grant..
What? For god’s sakes. Another open borders moron. Why don’t you even try to understand the issue before you open your mouth and prove to the world you are an idiot!!!
Here we go with the ridiculous platitudes. By that logic we can not control our immigration policies. Afterall, we have had immigration in the past so we must continue it for eternity. Regardless of any potential negative impacts to the country. So do we continue immigration when there is 500M people here? How about 1B? Check the census numbers for reality before you open your ignorant beak. Finally, ummm, you are ok with illegal entry into the US? What part of ILLEGAL ALIEN are you having trouble understanding?
Really? I am betting there are 10′s of thousands of illegal aliens victim’s relatives who would vehemently disagree with you. Look up the statistics on the number of people raped/robbed/murdered each year by these “hard working people”. While you are at it, look up the stats on entitlement payments made to these illegal invaders. They are heavy users of food stamps, welfare, education, etc. They deserve nothing. Many are here to take advantage of our compassion and hopsitality. Take take take and give nothing back.
Do you have anything original that can be shown to be true? Yes, we could deport 13M if we wanted (and it probably more like 30M). And frankly, we should. However, your choice of amensty or immediate deportation is a false dichotomy. Of course, you probably never even researched to find if there was another solution. The preferred solution is a truly comprehensive approach. First, DRY UP THE MAGNETS that draw them here. No welfare, no jobs, no education, no anchor babies, and no hope of citizenship. Guaranteed to stop more invaders from coming if there is no benefit to THEM. Second, embark on a policy of ATTRITION of the illegals already here. Once you eliminate the above magnets and make it difficult to live here illegally. They will go home over time. They found a way to make it here, they can find a way home.
Of course they do the jobs americans won’t do at a the slave wage prices the employers are willing to pay. Of course, those employers know we taxpayers will make up the difference through food stamps and welfare.
Do you even have a simple understanding of what amnesty actually entails? In the 1986 amnesty deabte, congress estimated 1M would be given amensty. In the end, it was 3+M. Later studies showed that an average of between 2-3 addtiaonl immigrants were brought in by those amenstied via chain migration over the following 5 years. So, some estimates have illegals at 30M today. So in 5 years, we can expect 30M amenstied and another 60M-100M additional immigrants brought in through chain migration. How in the world are we going to absorb 100M new citizens in 5 years who don’t speak English and are primarily uneducated and illiterate in thier own language. It would crash the budget. Additionally, we tried amensty in 1986. It was “the last amnesty” we were promised. Well, 20 years later we have 30M illegals here (10X the 1986 level). It did not stop anything. It made the situation worse. It told the world, “get here by any means, stay long enough and we will give you a reward, citizenship”. Another amensty will only encourage more illegal immigration. Not to metion, if amensty is passed, there will be a rush on the border by illegals to take advantage of it. Everytime there is even a hint of amnesty illegal border crossings increase.
History is repleat with civilzations falling as a result of uncontrolled immigration. Rome was inundated by immigrants. American Indians. Even Mexico, when it controlled Texas saw that US immigraiton (aka white) into the territory was shifting the balance of power and took steps to stop the flow. But it was too late and you see the outcome. So why are we repeating all the same mistakes?
So, either you are ignorant of the issue (which should exclude you from voting at all), you are a rabid anti American and would like to see the US crumble under the weight of immigraiton, or you are la raza type who wants to see a hispanic majority in the US regardless of the potential negative impacts to the coutry which you call home (ie a brown racists). So which is it?
I want “the Damn fence” built as much as everyone, trust me I live in illegal central right now, it’s my duty to me to keep Obama out of the White House. I’d vote for McCain if he shows up at the Convention wearing a Sombero.
This election is like having to choose Rosie O’Donnell because Kim Jong Il is the only alternative.
Jesus-Adolph-Hitler-El-Christo, what the flock are we suppossed to do?
mccain will make amnesty more likely because the democrats will enthusiastically go along, and he’ll pressure republicans, using party discipline, to go along.
People in favor of McCain’s Z Visa plan. He’ll probablly pick Romney as his V.P. pick only because Romney’s lawn contractor hired Illegals.
(I’m a Romney Supporter, but for other reasons)
good post, I find it so offensive that anyone would talk about ‘jobs americans won’t do’
my father went west in the depression and picked fruits and vegetables, then went to war. I’ve dug potatoes, worked in a glass factory, washed dished, etc.
its so damned annoying.
Cross our fingers and hope that McAmnesty was client #10 or even client 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Spitzer, etc.
i was all prepared to vote for Mccain. I got my bottle of black jack all ready but stupid statements and remarks like this make me think i should not waste a good bottle on him and save it to help clean the wounds from the civil war that will occur if B HUSSIEN Obooboomypants is elected. I am so tired of people rewarding bad behavior.
With all due respect. If the GOP thinks they can continue to import cheap labor for their donors at the expense of the citizens, they will. I will not vote for that again. If we continue to play the game of “the other guy is worse”, we will lose our country. Sorry, but I will not participate in that game any longer. The GOP power brokers think we will vote for “anybody but a Democrat” so they can continue to ignore securing the borders and enforcing the laws. I was hoping GOP primary voters would give the party elites some surprises in the primaries. We never really got the chance. First choice Hunter, second choice Thompson, third choice Romney were all out before VA voted. I wanted to vote for a GOP candidate in Nov.’08, I will not vote for any amnesty supporter. If it takes crushing the GOP so a new party representing American citizens can arise, so be it.
GOP-RIP
Yeah right. Fence will be a great help. From the looks of it, it wont stop anyone with even 1/100th the motivations the illegals have. Only solution is a strong president who will deploy armed soldiers at the border with orders to shoot anyone who does not respect our borders.
If you lover america, write in Tancerado
Virginia Patriot said: #72, I’m with you.
I didn’t leave the Republican party, the Republican party left me…
Send the McCain campaign a note. Don’t just bitch about it here.
As a fellow Virginian I could not agree more! Electing McCain in November will send the GOP spiraling to the left and the country will then have two completely socialist parties to choose from.
“This is NOT the Republican Party that I knew….”
The Democrats have a better record on “gimmes” for ethnics. Waste of time.
Finally, Obama did something that I agree with!
On August 22nd, 2008 at 4:36 pm, John Ansell said:
So that Obama, a true open borders candidate can get elected? Why just cross your fingers when you can shoot yourself in the foot? When you are willing to do something more then crossing your fingers go here and actually do something to push back.
Didn’t you mean Meximericanada?
I know, that’s why I’ll need a soft place for my head to strike when I repeatedly ram it into my desk.
I agree that the “presumptive” candidates present us with a choice between to evils. I beleive that no matter who wins, we will be in worse shape four years from now. This latest proof of McCain’s lack of concern for the long-term health of this country has just ensured my unwillingness to vote for him.
I will, however, still vote. I will vote for any and all conservatives running in our local races.
So Mr Grant, Mccain is not a truly open border candidate ?
Bill – you seem to prefer ignorance. Many of us here have brains and enjoy using them. When people of ANY political persuasion do DUMB things, we call them on it.
You should go be a democrat – they are sheeplike.
lol, you say yeah right like it wont help, thats fine ,your opinion, but then to say something as ridicules as shooting people, ya lost me, do you really think that would ever possible happen? maybe if were at war. c’mon get real.
A couple of damn good posts by Weary Citizen & Virginia Patriot.
Count me in as well.
Surprise, surprise!
McCain came in 4th place in Iowa on January 3rd.
Within three weeks Democrats were calling him the “presumptive nominee”, and within 4 weeks of McCain’s 4th place finish in Iowa, the RNC was putting pressure on Republicans to get behind McCain.
The four candidates who gave the finger to the Values Voter Debate (by choosing not to show up) all conspired to make McCain/Romney the ticket.
Thompson was McCain’s stalking horse in SC and then told us to “fall in line”.
Rudy was McCain’s stalking horse in Florida, where 20% of the Republican primary vote was from Democrat cross-overs.
The media (both MSM and Allahpundit at HotAir) were brutal and unfair to Huckabee. People who believed that McCain was the “Presumptive Nominee” (long before he was) voted for him when they might not have if they hadn’t been repeatedly told a lie.
Huckabee continued to have strong showings in primaries long after he quit the race, but McCain did not even consider him as a VP pick, much the same way Obama never even considered Hillary.
I happen to think that both “presumptive” nominees will be shocked when they do not receive their party’s nomination.
And Mike Huckabee is ready to take on the Clinton machine. He’s already faced it four times and won each time.
The RNC sent me a letter that said my donation was “Past Due”. Those clueless assholes will NEVER SEE ANOTHER DIME!
Thanks for the link again, Bill Grant them amnesty. I do contact my reps. I also attack those that support amnesty. We have already lost the second largest city in America. How many more cities are you willing to lose?
I believe the official name is “North American Union”.
Dear ajmontana, If had armed gaurds with order to shoot, they wont have to shoot anyone. Threat of force will deter them. Illegals are not stupid. they want better life, not bullet.
I know that I needn’t remind most people here that McCain recieved an endorsement from the NYT during the primaries. Where is that endorsement, now? McCain was never the choice of conservatives. He foisted on us by crossover voting and a media blitz, along with left leaning repub voters.
At a brokered convention, do NOT support McCain stalking horse Fred “Fall in line” Thompson.
Fred was never in it to win it. He was in it to help McCain win it.
I was initially fooled by Fred. If my state’s primary had been in January, I would have voted for Fred because Fred appeared to be the most conservative. It wasn’t until later that I understood what had happened.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
