Meet Jerry Perenchio. He’s a National Finance Co-Chair of the McCain 2008 campaign and the billionaire founder of Spanish-language media conglomerate, Univision. He also heads up a charitable foundation that has showered gobs of money on extremist green lobbying groups. Take open-borders zeal, add campaign finance hypocrisy, mix with eco-radicalism, and presto:
The perfect, multiculti-profiteering McCain money buddy.

Is this why McLame supports Mexamerica? He's been bought?
Ping.
McCain is basically being funded and managed by those who would eliminate the border between the U.S. and mexico and destroy our sovereignty.
McCain is dishonest. The MSM is running interference for him.
Kudos to Michelle Malkin for real journalism.
The more that I hear about McCain, the more that I lean towards not supporting or voting for him if he is nominated. It is beyond comprehension that he has a chance to get the nomination given his past actions, especially his support of amnesty. The smell from his campaign gets worse every day.
Boy, that’s a real eye opener.
Everyone needs to read the whole article.
Money talks and ... [well, you know the rest].
Thanks again, as always, Michelle!
mccain wants to be president because he wants to be president.
He does not want the job to do something, he wants to die with the resume padding.
Univision was all over pumping amnesty.
You are not kidding. Frightening.
bump
Wish the bloggers and commentators would also talk more about Charlie Black, the uber-lobbyist who is a key McCain campaign advisor and fundraiser. There has to be something in for him to get McCain elected.
Sure looks that way!
Always thought it was kinda cool that Jerry ran Univision even though he cannot speak more than five words of Spanish.
I kept looking for reasons to vote for McCain after Fred dropped out. I keep finding reasons not to.

Perenchio also donated to opponents of Prop. 187, the California measure banning social services to illegal aliens. And he has given money to many soft-on-illegal immigration Democrats. In fact, before jumping ship to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s gubernatorial campaign, he was the largest individual campaign donor to Gray Davis–contributing at least $500,000 to the liberal Democrat. When voters demanded Davis’s recall after he pushed driver’s licenses for illegal aliens (among other failed policies), Perenchio chipped in another $50,000 to help Davis supporters fend off the measure. He also gave generously to Bill Richardson’s campaigns–$100,000 from him another $50,000 from his wife for the New Mexico Democrat governor’s failed presidential bid last year, plus about $167,000 from Perenchio and one of his companies to Richardson’s 2002 campaign.
Perenchio plays both sides.
And so does McCain. As the Washington Post reported last February, Perenchio is one of the elite donors McCain signed up to his presidential campaign finance committee–after crusading against Perenchio’s soft-money contributions:
Thanks for the ping and Kudos again to Michelle.
This sheds a lot of light on why the liebrals in the Media are so hot for McAinal.
QUISLING: a synonym for traitor, someone who collaborates with the invaders of his country.
U.S. Constitution, Article 4 Section 4:
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,
1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.
Thanks.
As you know, I have been against McAinal since 2000.
His stands in the last few years are truly scary for any of us who know history and have the ability to interpert what is really happening.
ping
Michelle for president!!!!!
He also gave generously to Bill Richardson’s campaigns–$100,000 from him another $50,000 from his wife for the New Mexico Democrat governor’s failed presidential bid last year, plus about $167,000 from Perenchio and one of his companies to Richardson’s 2002 campaign.
How can anybody give mor than 4600 to a campaign?
McCain faltered in 2000 in part because real people were able to spend their money to get out the truth.
McCain passed McCain/Feingold to stop that.
He doesn’t mind the restrictions — because he has people who own networks (which are exempt from the law) who are billionaires and will give him free press and support.
“Is this why McLame supports Mexamerica? He’s been bought?”
yes

Sen Stevens is a much more Honest man....
The rules are different for those in power....
Conservatism On The Sleeve And On The Hoof
*************************EXCERPT*************************
John Fund takes a look at the problematic relationship between John McCain and conservatives in his party, and focuses on one of the hot-button issues: judicial nominations. He doesn't give activists much hope on this front, quoting McCain as supportive of John Roberts' nomination but rejecting Samuel Alito as a model for future nominations. Why? Alito didn't hide his conservative nature well enough:
Nothing would improve Mr. McCain's standing with conservatives more than a forthright restatement of his previously stated view that "one of our greatest problems in America today is justices that legislate from the bench." Mr. McCain bruised his standing with conservatives on the issue when in 2005 he became a key player in the so-called gang of 14, which derailed an effort to end Democratic filibusters of Bush judicial nominees. More recently, Mr. McCain has told conservatives he would be happy to appoint the likes of Chief Justice John Roberts to the Supreme Court. But he indicated he might draw the line on a Samuel Alito, because "he wore his conservatism on his sleeve."Therein lies the problem that many conservatives have with John McCain. It is the nagging feeling that after all of his years of chummily bonding with liberal reporters and garnering favorable media coverage from them that the Arizona senator is embarrassed to be seen as too much of a conservative.
Last week's editorial endorsement of Mr. McCain by the New York Times, which delighted in recounting every one of Mr. McCain's disagreements with conservatives, didn't help. "John has to begin a new phase of his campaign," says one prominent Republican in Congress who is backing Mr. McCain. "He has to decide if he wants to be a leader of the conservative movement that he says he joined after Ronald Reagan inspired him to enter politics in 1982. If he does that, he can be accepted. If he doesn't, he will have to settle for a shotgun marriage with conservatives."
We should know the answer soon enough. Shortly after I suggested that McCain make an appearance at the CPAC convention next week, the McCain campaign reportedly came to the same decision. They have not formally accepted an invitation to the annual convention, the largest aggregate of conservative activists every year, but supposedly they have rented some exhibit space and people believe McCain may make an appearance.
McCain will find himself in a tough spot on judges. The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA, or McCain-Feingold) will face some hard challenges in the next few years. A more constructionist court may take issue with the restrictions the BCRA places on political speech in pursuit of clean campaigning. The BCRA envisions a changing definition of the First Amendment that simply doesn't exist with strict constructionists such as Alito, Antonin Scalia, or Clarence Thomas. It seems unlikely that McCain will appoint jurists who would undo the BCRA at their first opportunity.
Perhaps McCain can explain this better to the conservatives who see Supreme Court nominations as the Holy Grail of presidential politics. He will find no better place than at CPAC, which I plan to attend as a credentialed blogger. But if he objects to jurists who honestly and forthrightly believe in limited judicial power and leaving legislation to legislators, he will find that a number of the activists at CPAC not only wear their conservatism on their sleeves but also put conservatism on the hoof. They take it seriously, and by at least meeting with them, McCain can send the signal that he takes them seriously as well.
At least with Hillary...you have an idea of what you're getting.,....4 more years of Bill.....
Thanks for the list.
Great list.
McCain Hires Open Borders Champion
************************EXCERPT**************************
Michelle Malkin and Allahpundit report this morning that the McCain campaign has hired notorious open-borders activist Dr. Juan Hernandez as his Director of Hispanic Outreach. He apparently joined McCain’s staff quietly last November.
Hernandez regards Mexico and western America as a single region, and favors free access across the borders for workers. Hernandez not only encouraged Mexicans to break US immigration law, but worked in the Mexican community in the US to ensure that they did not “go native” by losing their Mexican identity and citizenship, while working for the Vicente Fox administration in Mexico and teaching at the University of Texas.
Check out the interview that Hot Air posted (Allahpundit link, above). He’s completely following the leftist playbook, tugging shamelessly on emotions while refusing to address any question directly, but saying that he is. He’s not very good at it, it’s obvious that he’s been coached. Keep your air sickness bag close.
Republican primary candidates are all pandering to conservative issues, but not credibly. By doing so, they’re acknowledging that the Republican party is mostly conservative, and that they’re out of touch with it. McCain’s version of this dance is to distance himself from amnesty, declaring that he’s never supported amnesty. This is the same McCain, however, who cussed at the thought of the border fence, whose Immigration Reform Act allowed law-breaking immigrants to become citizens after paying a small fine, and who now has hired, not an open-borders moderate like himself, but a full-blow advocate for MexAmeriCanada (with a hat tip to Glenn Beck for the nomenclature).
A family friend of mine works on Russ Feingold’s staff. He’s a Progressive. He can’t stand McCain; “He’s duplicitous,” says my friend. I see what he means, but frankly, it doesn’t surprise me. I’ve written enough about McCain that he’s earned his own category.
I’m flexible, but I absolutely shudder at the thought that this man might become President. If he runs against Clinton, I’ll duct tape my head so it doesn’t explode (another nod to Glenn Beck) and vote for him, but in any other election, I won’t pull the level for John McCain.
From Dr. Juan Hernandez on Nightline, June 7 , 2001, courtesy of The Corner:
I want the third generation, the seventh generation, I want them all to think ‘Mexico first.’
Does this sound like sound US policy to you?
A Prime Example of Political Opportunism and playing both sides of the field for all they are worth.
Pray for our country, folks.
This is not good when those sworn to protect and preserve instead loot and lie under the cloak of deception..

More Multiculturalism [Mark Krikorian]
**********************************************
Actually, this is more like transnationalism. A reader alerted me to the fact that McCain's "Hispanic Outreach Director" is the same guy who held that job for Mexico's President Vicente Fox! U.S.-born dual citizen Juan Hernandez was in Fox's cabinet as Director of the Office for Mexicans Living Abroad and is notorious for having said of Mexican Americans on Nightline on June 7, 2001, "I want the third generation, the seventh generation, I want them all to think 'Mexico first.'" Does McCain agree with this? Has he offered Hernandez, a former high-level foreign government official who presumably swore an oath to uphold the Mexican constitution, a place in a future McCain Administration? That's not a rhetorical question.
McCain Flip-Flops
[Insider] Audio Available:
January 28, 2008 - 13:58 ET
***********************EXCERPT**************************
LENN: I got a ton of e-mails this weekend and basically they all resemble this one. So let me read it: Glenn, heard you talking about John McCain flip-flopping. That is the last thing I feel from John McCain. I don't agree with him on everything but he seems like he will stand by his opinion even when they're unpopular. Can you back that up? Darren in Seattle.
Yes, Darren, I can. Let's first start with what you said. You are right. Sometimes John McCain will stand by issues even when they're very unpopular. He stood by the surge when it was unpopular and he was right. He was one of the main spokesmen for it when the media was absolutely hammering him and he deserves the credit that is due him on the surge. He was right on the surge, but he also has an affinity for standing by things like global treaties, bloated legislation to fight global warming even when it's not exactly, you know, popular among Republicans. You know, the same way he should get credit for the war, you should give him the same amount of credit for wanting to spend as much as $1.2 trillion a year by 2050 on something that can't possibly affect temperatures by a measurable amount. That's not me saying that. That is -- I mean, even if the global warming theorists are 100% right, look it up. 1.2 trillion a year and it doesn't work. And just remember that when he's telling you that he's a fiscal conservative.
But let's look at a few of the flip-flops. Not even mentioning that he led the charge on amnesty on the border. If you really believe that he's -- "oh, I've listened to the American people now." If you really, truly believe he will say that after he's elected, a guy who led the charge and called you a racist if you were against it, if you believe him now, you know, good for you. I don't know how you do that.
But okay, his flip-flops. Besides the border, the Bush tax cuts. Do you believe that taxes grow the economy -- cutting taxes grow the economy or don't grow the economy? If you don't believe in tax cuts growing the economy, well, then you're cool with John McCain because he agrees with you. He voted against the tax cuts in 2001 and 2003. He was only one of two Republicans to do so. That's bad enough. But we had Senator Rick Santorum on Friday. Listen to part of what Rick Santorum had to say when I asked him about John McCain.
SENATOR SANTORUM: I have real problems is that on almost every major domestic policy issue that I dealt with over the last six years anyway when I was in leadership of the Senate, John McCain was not just on the other side. There were people on the other side. Linc Chafee was on the other side. In many cases, not all for sure but many cases Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe were on the other side. But there's a difference between being on the other side and adopting the rhetoric of the other side and condemning people who hold the position opposite to you and sort of buying in to these fallacious arguments that the left would argue on and everything from reimportation, or should I say importation of drugs to global warming to immigration. Go on down the list, of a long list, unfortunately long list of issues where he has just not only been wrong but he has joined the other side in assailing the foundational principles of, I think, conservatism and dealing with these issues which is to do so in a limited way with smaller government, and he has opted for the other course.
See #38....This guy is more dangerous than Rudy!!!
McLame's wife is a real piece of work in that regard.
Thanks for the tidbit.
report this morning that the McCain campaign has hired notorious open-borders activist Dr. Juan Hernandez as his Director of Hispanic Outreach. He apparently joined McCain’s staff quietly last November.
