Old Senator McCain nearly pulled it off. He nearly had GOP voters thinking that he gave more than a rat's backside about the security of our borders. He nearly had once again morphed his angry, goof-ball demeanor into a lovable fuzz-ball just waiting for us to give him the chance to take the reigns of the nation.
Sadly with the presence of the openly hostile Dr. Juan Hernandez on his campaign, McCain's hope for the presidency should be discarded rather quickly.
I've watched thousands of hours of television punditry over the last 10 years, and video-taped or tivo'd/DVR'd thousands more.
Never in the course of human events has there been a more open, race-baiting, dual-citizened, regionalist, "hate America" spokesman to speak against the cause of America's border security than Dr. Juan.
Bryan Preston captured some of the more disturbing elements, (though just the tip of the iceberg) of what Dr. Juan has advocated for in recent months.
But the revelation that this man serves on McCain's staff demonstrates but one thing: John McCain solicits the advice of pro-amnesty Mexicans, as opposed to pro-U.S. border-security American citizens.
With McCain's repeated intolerance of being labeled "pro-amnesty" flaring up recently, it becomes increasingly clear that while he may have tried to shed the label, he still very much runs with those, in fact listens to the advice of those, who want to see our border be overrun - not secured.
Hernandez is the poster child for the problems of allowing "dual citizenship," and to think that McCain has had him part of his campaign since November tells us all we need to know... and when it comes to voting for a GOP candidate who is serious about border security - He ain't the guy!

He was born in the city of Fort Worth, Texas, of a Mexican father and a Texan mother. He completed his undergraduate studies at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin and received his Masters and Ph.D. degrees at Texas Christian University.
Juan Hernandez has dedicated himself to the study of Mexico-U.S. relations for many years. He has been a professor at various universities, creating a Center for U.S.-Mexico Studies at the University of Texas, Dallas.
In 1996, Hernández invited Vicente Fox (then Governor of the Mexican State of Guanajuato) to speak at UT, Dallas and meet George W. Bush (then Governor of Texas) -- a historical meeting that marked a new outlook in Mexico-U.S. relations.
During this Texas trip, Fox asked Dr. Hernandez to help create Guanajuato Trade Offices, in the United States (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Dallas-Fort Worth) and serve as his representative in the US. Soon, Fox invited Hernandez to be his gate-keeper and close confidant in his presidential campaign.
After beating the party that had ruled for over 71 years, President Fox hired Hernandez as the first US-born cabinet member, heading the Presidents Office for Mexicans Abroad. Operating from Los Pinos (the Mexican White House), the Office had as its principal objective to serve and dignify the 24 million whom President Fox has called heroes -- the countrymen who live in foreign lands.
Described as one of the most brilliant men in the world (Fortune 2001), named Humanitarian Man of 2001 by Latin Trade Magazine (2001), and classified as one of the 100 most influential Hispanics in the U.S. (Hispanic Business Magazine 2001), he is known for his passion for the defense of the rights of immigrants. He has been showcased on Nightline, the Peter Jennings show, and is a regular on Univisión , CNN and Fox News.

I am soooo swayed.
Ron Paul should be getting well over 70%........

Bttt!
Too many people misunderstand or misreport McCain’s current position on the illegal immigration issue.
He has said that he has heard the people and as president will secure the border first.
After which, he will still ram his contorted comprehensive amanesty program down our throats.
Huh? Do you mean that McCain isn’t for amnesty (a rose by any other name...) for illegal immigrants? Or that Juan Hernandez isn’t?
What facts are you talking about?
Bawahwahwah, we got the fax on Traitor John McCain and still will not vote for this Amnesta!
After which, he will still ram his contorted comprehensive amanesty program down our throats.
***********************
It's a serious concern.
He did not listen to the base in the past and he won’t listen to the base in the future.
Juan McCain!
