John McCain: La Raza's voice in Washington

Michelle Malkin ^ | Feb 4, 2008 | Michelle Malkin

[tanaka]

The McCain campaign continues to perpetuate its Big Lie in the run-up to Super Tuesday. And thanks to MSM enablers and open-borders Republicans rooting for a McCain win, voters are swallowing the Big Lie. The Big Lie is that McCain can be trusted on immigration and border security

..
You want straight talk? McCain’s tongue says he’s “listened and learned.” But his heart is with La Raza, the militantly ethnocentric, anti-immigration enforcement Hispanic lobbying group that honored him in 1999 and whose annual conference he keynoted in 2004.

Go back and watch McCain on the Senate floor during the amnesty debate. Refresh your memories. Here he is comparing guest-worker tax treatment to Jim Crow laws:

[tanaka]

"Sen. Tom Coburn, a staunch amnesty opponent, has endorsed McCain. He’s letting bygones be bygones in the spirit of senatorial collegiality.

But I remind you that McCain refused to support Coburn’s amendment to the shamnesty bill calling for full enforcement of our immigration laws."

Vote for McCain if you want Amnesty.

[Jane Austen]

McCain voted against barring terrorists and gang members from US.

[JaneNC]

Yes. open borders and amnesty and a tax burden of 2.6 TRILLION DOLLARS

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Big tent, big lie, big gasbag!

[elizabetty]

McCain promised Coburn something, Secretary of HHS I suspect.

Politicians are pretty transparent creatures.

Look at all the folks who jumped on the McCain bandwagon after Florida, they want jobs in his administration.

[BGHater]

Oh please, McCain is running almost the same platform as President Bush did.

[jocko12]

If Mcnut wins a third party looks good.

[counterpunch]

[Bigoleelephant]

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.

[Petronski]

Politicians are pretty transparent creatures.

Just look at that wagonload of lackeys on Team Romney. Amazing how core values can change the moment a check clears.

[Congressman Billybob]

You are quite right about that. President Bush's views and actions on illegal immigration ARE almost as reprehensible as those of Senator McCain. But what is your point? Neither of them should be acceptable to folks here on FreeRepublic.

A Freeper in Congress? Please act now.

[txzman]

If McCain is the nominee, I vote for 3rd Party. Any 3rd Party.

[Towed_Jumper]

I just received a call from a McCain campaign worker here in Arizona asking me if John McCain could count on my vote in tomorrow’s primary.

I told him that I’d rather shovel $hit out of a cuckoo clock than vote for McCain as I’m repulsed be just about everything McCain stains for —included the continued invasion of illegal aliens from Mexico into Arizona. The guy was totally stunned.

And, THAT'S all you need to know. Period.

[elizabetty]

There you go again.

Nope, I still see nothing of value in your immature and irrational rants.

[hecht]

If I had a magic wand I send all of them back home and end the anchor baby law.
Unfortunately I don’t have one and after Prop 187 the Cal Reps had a Pyhrric victory and lost the Hispanic vote.
Bush got 44% last election. Remember the McCain -Kennedy bill was also the Bush/Rove bill .
When Romney loses in a landslide ( despite my voting for him)because he gets only 5% of the Hispanic vote , you will have wished MCCain was the candidate.

[Rummyfan]

Pretty much sums up John McCain’s attitude towards voters....

[Puppage]

The guy was totally stunned.

What did he have to say after that???

[Towed_Jumper]

“stains for” should read “stands for”...sorry all, my blood pressure was still spiked when I was typing my first post.

[Neoliberalnot]

McCain speaking for La Raza while Byrd speaks for the KKK and Obama for the jihadis. It is called diversity by any other name and we should all be proud and most sensitive.

[Petronski]

I still see nothing of value...

As I said, I know YOU don't.

[Towed_Jumper]

What did he have to say after that???

He honestly didn’t say anything at first. I told him he could tell McCain I said that and if he didn’t like it he (McCain), was welcome to call me directly to discuss. The campaign worker basically said: “ Uh, OK thanks” and hung up.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Me too.

I won’t vote for MexiCain.

[DoughtyOne]

John McCain?  Cackle, cackle, cackle...

[DoughtyOne]

When it comes to the Reagan Revolution, I was there leading the way... well, I was a foot soldier.

I think we should make those tax cuts "WE" gave you permanent.

We need to find a compassionate way to give illegals who are here a pathway to citizenship.

I have pushed through legislation that makes exercise of the First Amendment more reasoned with regard to elections.

I joined with the gang of fourteen to do something better than what the president had in mind, with regard to judicial appointments.

Enough was enough.  It was time to put the issue of MIAs to rest, recognize North Vietnam and facilitate trade.

I didn't think helping the Sandanistas was a good thing.  I fought it tooth and nail but by gosh, a nation was freed over my objections.

I was a member of the Keeting Five.  It was no big deal.  A lot of money was passed around and people lost their life savings.  It happens.

Have the actions of this man, earned your vote?

John McCain: Conservatism's Version of Toxic Shock Syndrome

[clamper1797]

I just got off the phone with a VERY trustworthy source VERY close to the campaigns ... look for an announcement of a two years long affair by McInsane ... according to the source the NYT and Post are sitting on this info waiting for the right time ... (after the nomination?) ... to spring it

[trisham]

"In the short term, it probably galvanizes our base. In the long term, if you alienate the Hispanics, you’ll pay a heavy price. By the way, I think the fence is least effective. But I’ll build the goddamned fence if they want it."

[catbertz]

[maclay]

I’ll be voting for McCain...when those “killer bees” finally get here. ;-)

[isrul]

So Coburn is a typical pub sell out, sucking up to Cotton Hill for no good reason.

[isrul]

He just wants to be inclusive. It’s only conservatives he wants out.

[isrul]

That’s reason enough not to support him.

[TigersEye]

McCain Is the Amnesty Candidate

John McCain SCREAMS AT 9/11 FSA MEMBERS FOR OPPOSING HIS BILL TO GIVE AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS

It depends on the meaning of “never” (McCain's Convenient Memory)

UN Double Talk from Straight Talker McCain (Law of the Sea Treaty)

[isrul]

Who would be worthwhile enough to support in a third party?

[isrul]

“totally stunned” I’m not surprised McCain and his supporters are completely out of touch with the people.

[bmwcyle]

[calcowgirl]

I told him that I’d rather shovel $hit out of a cuckoo clock than vote for McCain as I’m repulsed be just about everything McCain stains for —included the continued invasion of illegal aliens from Mexico into Arizona. The guy was totally stunned.

A little straight talk for him, LOL.

[isrul]

Your’e absolutely right. even Carville wants us to nominate McCain. The MSM and the left are desperately trying to hep us nominate a winner. Right?

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

I saw Phil Gramm standing with McCain today. Sickening to see. There was a time when Phil Gramm was a stalwart, staunch conservative.

[bmwcyle]

Phil is getting old and it does something to the mind. I wish I could remember.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

“I wish I could remember.”....LOL.

But I doubt you would forget to remember your conservative values.....LOL

[bmwcyle]

Never!

[Digital Sniper]

Big tent, big lie, big gasbag!

How can you say that? We just have to believe that Juan McChurian is a conservative and he magically will be!

I think we're all just a few quarts low on the McCain Kool-Aid. Now let's all be good pubbies and drink up!

[Snapping Turtle]

Thanks for the analogies. I needed a good laugh during this time of great frustration.

[wolfcreek]

Ewwwwwwww. McCain......affair..uck!

It will be too late when this story is released but, we’ll all see the monumental meltdown we’ve been waiting for.

[wolfcreek]

Phil Graham used to be a Lib just like Rick Perry.

[Irish Eyes]

A HUGE Arizona bump
