Validation? FDR validated Communism? Nixon Validated China? Reagan Validated USSR? You can meet people you disagree with and find common ground where you can. If Al Raza (which I don’t know much about other than absolute hatred and visceral reaction from some here) can make a difference of 5-10% of votes, then why not meet them. You don’t have to give them what they want. Simply create an impression that you reached out.

Try and figure the out Demographics of Americans today. Over 15% are Hispanic and Blacks are about the same percentage. Asians and other are about 4-5%.

You CAN NOT restrict yourself to 66% of the people, and expect to survive, especially since the ratio is going in other direction fast.

This is Democracy. They count number of votes at the end of the day. They don’t value one vote more than the other, because it is from someone with much purer and noble beliefs. Someone who refused to shake hands with Al Raza gets their vote counted ten times. Then it would be an intelligent strategy. However, since that is not case, then wherever you can find votes, you have to reach out. That doesn’t mean you give everything they want. Reaching out is not same as agreeing to everything.

Then you're simply, by your own admission, posting from a position of ignorance, and need to remedy that before we may profitably continue. Michelle Malkin's site is an excellent starting point, re: this topic. Begin there.

See post #15, above.

They count number of votes at the end of the day.

The question is, who is voting and how do we know that they even qualify to be here in the U.S. LEGALLY much less qualify to vote in our election? The answer is we don't know. There is no effective metric to capture it and no effective way to counter it, thanks to another 8 years of deliberate foot dragging by the Federal Government (aka the Bush Administration). We have a foreign power (Mexico) inserting itself directly into our presidential election process in order to drive major U.S. domestic and foreign policy in a direction favorable to their corrupt state.

McCain and the GOP are more than happy to endorse and legislate in illegal amnesty while at the same time capitalizing on the glaring weakness in documentation requirements and lack of effective means to counter false IDs at the polling booths- all for the voting block that hispanics bring to an election. It's the worst form of pandering and political cynicism that has usually been the trademark of liberals. Congratulations for taking a major page out of their playbook and running with it. Congratulations on turning the other way to enforcing Federal Laws for the sake of a 15% voter margin.

So, if that's "reaching out", you pubbies can reach out to the Mexican crime gangs and corruption that comes with the poison you are brewing. Who is going to pay social services costs for 22+ MILLION (and growing) illegals? Who are you going to need to tax to keep that electorate gravy train happy? You guys make Obama look tame by comparison.

You assclowns are selling out U.S. national sovereignty and threatening National Security much more effectively than al Qaeda can ever do on its own. Congratulations for that, too.
