   McCain’s favorite Daddy Yankee song is Gasolina? Oh, that’s great. Wonderful. Did anyone think to clue him in that “gasolina” is Puerto Rican slang for, um, sperm? That’s what the entire song is about.

   Daddy Yankee has also recorded with and performed live with Akon and uses the N word in almost all of his songs.

    McCain must have nightmare’s about getting the support (i.e. votes) of the base. Granted, plenty of Republican politicians have been indifferent to the base, starting with Nixon in ’60, but I can’t think of one who has such an aversion to it. It was like that snooty girl in high school who thought you were a creep and had cooties and would never go out with you, no matter how nice you were to her. Maybe it is time to just give up, pack up our cooties, and go home.

    I have my ideas why McCain is that way, but I would be interested in hearing from others. What is it with this guy?

    Very serious, Mookie.

    Just did a site search and found three whole entries listed, none of which related to Ramos and Compean directly.

    Heck, MM snarks at “Juan McShamnesty” more often than that on a daily basis.

    I’m not saying McCain shouldn’t be criticized when he brings up any open-borders garbage. We fought it before, and will fight it again.

    But there is such a thing as priorities, and the bigger dangers lie on the Osama Obama/Biden side.

    Now McCain is horrible…or AS horrible as Obama?

    Give me a break. Do I agree with McCain on his illegal immigration stance? Heck no.

    Am I going to vote for him for President of the US? Heck yeah!!

    He is still 150 times better than Obama and his wife. Having them take over this country will be the WORST thing that can happen to all of us.

    Michelle Malkin can stay home on election day and feel good about herself, but to me this election is too important to vote on just one issue.

    Between McCain and Obama….I have to vote for McCain. Simple as that.

    All the McCainiacs here that blast her and others for noticing the obvious and refusing to be hypocrites and act like the Ds, couldn’t be trusted for anything. If you think the Ds here don’t notice your hypocrisy, you’re kidding yourselves. You have lost the right to point out their hypocricy because of your own.

    Michelle is fair, even-handed and has more honor in her little pinky than all you McCainiacs put together.

    Intil SHE says what she’s going to do in the voting booth, you have no right to ASSUME.

    Daddy Yankee endorsing McCain is a great attention-getter for the Latino community. He is one of the biggest artists. And it will get the word out among young Latinos in the USA.

    I am not for amnesty at all. We have laws in the USA and it should be obeyed by everyone.

    Latinos are reluctant to vote for republicans because some, not all, of us are a bit harsh and not open to speak with them about immigration. The other side as well. But at least McCain is speaking with them and making the effort.

    Also, Daddy Yankee maybe a reggeaton artist, but he is a great father, never cheated on his wife, and he is a sponsor for St. Jude.

    No, I think we’re open enough about how we feel about illegal immigration. A lot of them just don’t like it. The ones who confuse and blur the issue are those like you (and latinos) who make no distinction between legal and illegal.

    I don’t post here often, but I faithfully try to read this blog every day. Today is one of those days when I do find the need to vent. To let others know my basic political beliefs; I consider myself a libertarian Republican along the lines of thinking of someone ala talkshow host Boortz. That being said I agree with ~75% of the consensus here in regards to all of the topics (excluding the seagulls; LGM, mookie, Rusty, etc). But I find some things very troubling, i.e. the circular firing squad attitude of many posters here.

    First off, those of you attacking Ms. Malkin; you are way off base. While I disagree with her on this topic I have find her to be of impeccable honesty and integrity. She tolerates a lot of dissent here and rarely bans someone unless they are advocating violence or are vulgar; try posting on the KosKids blogs and see how quickly you get banned for speaking out against the lefwingnuts; I am close to double digits. Not once did I ever see her post that she was not going to vote on Election Day or advocate others to stay at home that day. Secondly, the other side of the coin; not everyone who supports McCain is a “McCainiac”. I am supporting McCain not because I agree with him 100%, but because I feel he is vastly more qualified to be POTUS than Obama. The mere thought of the Marxist troika of Obama, Reid and Pelosi ruling this country for the next 8 years is enough to make this grown man contemplate finding an uninhabited island in the South Pacific and live a Cruesoe–like existence. We must not cut off our noses to spite our face; McCain is the only one standing in the way of that unholy alliance of evil.

    Addressing the topic at hand I applaud the endorsement of Daddy Yankee (yes I have one of his CD’s). It’s a way of reaching out to a couple of important voting blocs, Latinos and youth. The man is very popular is the Latino community and maybe could help to swing a few percentage points in certain areas; we all know how important it is to get every possible vote. I ask you all; would you rather have him spewing out anti-McCain diatribes? What I find more troubling is the lack of comment of anyone here on the vile display by Madonna in the UK Saturday.

    She had the audacity to compare McCain to the likes of Hitler and Mugabe on a video montage. Does anyone else take umbrage at this??? Here we have people complaining about a reggaeton superstar supporting a Republican, yet nothing about a pop superstar invoking one of the vilest comparisons about a Republican POTUS candidate. Come on people, what is wrong with that picture. It’s time for us to stop firing on each other and concentrate our efforts on the Tyrannical Troika of Trogdolytes.

    OK done venting. Hope everyone has a pleasant evening!!

    I’ve never quite understood why that seems to scare people. Like I said to John Ansell, the only things we really differ on are gay marriage and Obama being Satan. I’m not going to vote for him but I don’t think he’s evil. Other than that, I’m with you folks.

    At some point McCain is going to have to decide who he is going to ditch as his potential supporters…he cannnot have all feminazis, illegal racists, or conservatives voting for him….

    WHO he actually picks as VP is either going to make him or break him…picking Ridge, Lieberman, or Pawlenty or worse will give the White house to Obama.

    True, Bill Grant…At least credit this conservative for holding his breath (and fire) with respect to McCain.

    Does McCain Want To Win?

    If he wants my vote, there are a couple of things he could do.
    1. Publicly dismiss and disavow Juan Hernandez and the Reconquista for which he stands.
    2. Apologize for conspiring in secret with La Raza and Ted Kennedy and trying to jam amnesty down our throats.
    3. Pledge to veto ANY amnesty bill.
    4. Pledge to enforce the laws, including deportation, which is the penalty for illegal aliens.

    It’s up to Sen. McCain, he can represent the interests of American citizens and uphold the rule of law or he can continue to court the favor of liberals and illegal aliens.

    I will not vote for the latter.

    Just stopping in on a dinner break from work.

    Thesis:
    The vast bulk of the American electorate is “moderate”, therefore, McCain needs to court “moderates” to win.

    See piece at AmericanThinker.com: moderates are only 2% of the electorate!

    (See snipped sect. at end of my comment.)

    New Thesis:
    McCain spits in Conservatives’ collective eye because he enjoys it!

    See you guys when I surface again tomorrow, after this job’s completed…

    The Biggest Missing Story in Politics
    By Bruce Walker
    At http://www.AmericanThinker.com:

    In August 2008, Americans answered that question this way:
    (1) 20% of Americans considered themselves to be very conservative;
    (2) 40% of Americans considered themselves to be somewhat conservative;
    (3) 2% of Americans considered themselves to be moderate;
    (4) 27% of Americans considered themselves to be somewhat liberal;
    (5) 9% of Americans considered themselves to be very liberal; and
    (6) 3% of Americans did not know or refused to answer.

    [
    emphasis added by commentor.
    NB: 20%+40% > 2%+27%+3%
    ]

    So, tell me again. How isn’t it The Stupid Party?

    corollary: Those who say that McCain has to pander to win haven’t thought about the facts.

    Amigo de Obama? Not Daddy Yankee. The reggaetonero has confirmed that come election day, his vote will be for Republican candidate John McCain. Latina.com spoke exclusively to Daddy Yankee to understand why he decided to vote Republican this November while most celebrities seem downright fanatic about Democratic nominee Barack Obama.

    The Puerto Rican native says the Senator made an impression on him the first time they met, at an event nearly two years ago: “I thought he was a really cool person, and this was way before he was even a presidential candidate, and I liked him a lot.”

    The unlikely partners reconnected last month when they were both in New York. “He invited me [to Washington] and I went,” says Yankee. “We talked about boxing, we’re both boxing fanatics.”

    It was McCain’s down-to-earth nature that appealed to him the most. He explains, “the cool thing about McCain is that the same guy that was senator is the same guy who is running for president now. When I talked to him, I never felt beneath him, he looks directly at me when he’s speaking to me, and we have the same level of respect for each other.”

    But it was the stories McCain told him of his time on the battlefield that really struck a chord with the musician. “He said, ‘Yankee, I was a soldier. And I saw people die next to me, Latinos who never got their citizenship but who were willing to die for this country. I saw a Hernandez, I saw a Rodriguez, how they killed them.’ And that broke my heart hearing that. And I went, man, this guy lived it. He’s not just going, ‘hey I want your vote.’ He lived it.”

    Does it bother him that McCain doesn’t speak a word of Spanish? “No, no. He has this great desire to help our people. People don’t know this but since he was a senator, he has fought hard for the well-being of Latinos. I know we are dealing with someone who cares about the Latino community.”

    “I was surprised I have to say at how willing to listen he is,” Yankee explains. “People who haven’t met him might get the wrong perception of him but he’s totally different.”

    When we asked if he had plans to meet with Democratic candidate Barack Obama, Yankee responded with a curt, “No.”

    If Daddy Yankees influence within the Latino community is any indication, looks like John McCain’s bid for the White House just got a major bump.

     That’s why your opinion will never be taken seriously. They know you will end up voting for them regardless.
