McCain Proposes La Raza Town Hall
TOWNHALL ^ | Monday, June 16, 2008 | Amanda Carpenter

Posted on 06/16/2008 1:33:00 PM PDT by Checkers

GOP presidential candidate John McCain is inviting his Democratic rival, Barack Obama, to participate in a joint town hall at an open-borders advocacy group’s upcoming meeting in California.

“There is a meeting in California of La Raza,” McCain told reporters at an Arlington press conference Monday. “Both of us have accepted invitations. I say that we have a town hall meeting together in front of La Raza. I think that the people will be far more informed and in some ways, entertained if we had that format.”

I laugh at the McCainiacs around here swearing we’ll get great judges out of this loser.

He must have seen himself ahead in many states. I swear he’s thrying to throw the thing, like Dole did.

His media celebrity has really gone to his head. Sure, the immigration crowed liked McCain before, but with Obama they get the real deal. They have no use for McCain. Republican’s can not buy off the left. W spend billions upon billions with Ted Kennedy trying to get the left to like him. It didn’t work (and should have been cause for us to replace him in ‘04).

"The case grows weaker."

I thought about it over the weekend and I've decided there is no way I can vote for McCain. I really, really tried to get my mind around it. Just can't do it.

This will be the first pres. vote I've ever missed.

Hope this is a joke. OK I want to know who the heck is advising McCain that its a good idea to go to a debate held my the Mexican racist group La Raza?? How STUPID can you be. I guess both will tell the illegals that they are both for “amnesty” in there own words. Our country is slowly being dissolved thanks to sell outs like McCain, Obama, Bush, the DNC and now the RNC.

“McCain co-sponsored a bill, which La Raza endorsed, critics said would award amnesty to illegal aliens with Democratic Sen. Teddy Kennedy (Mass.). The bill did not pass and McCain’s work to push it cause irreparable damage with many members of his GOP base.”

McCain can pound sand.

If you simply cannot vote for a major party candidate, please at least consider voting third party rather than not voting in the Presidential race.

Does this stupid SOB actually WANT to win?? I just don’t know. Is his campaign being run by a closet, leftist, Obama supporter? It almost has to be the case. No one could possibly be as dumb as McCain. Every possible damn way to convince the republican base to stay home on election day, and this silly bastard says it or does it! La Raza are a bunch of nuts who want us to give Mexico back part of the United States for Gods sake. Does this idiot know that? I just don’t understand. Fifty seven yrs old and I’ve never seen a SNAFU’d mess like this. The fact that the race is a toss-up is a true testament to the incredible weakness of the empty suit McCdumb is running against. Any half way decent candidate would destroy Obama, even with the 24/7 campaigning of the MSM. Unbelievable.

“I will call for lifting the federal moratorium for states that choose to permit exploration,” he said. “I think that this, and perhaps providing additional incentives for states to permit exploration off of their coasts, would be very helpful in the short term in resolving our energy crisis.”

And if everyone at the counter meeting wore T-shirts with THE RACE on front, what could be expected?

Okay. I’ve gone back and read the article. I guess the thinking here is that he shouldn’t go before these people PERIOD! I think that’s wrong. He need to face these people directly and give the Latino vote Obama.

I think those of you here who are bashing McCain are so one dimensional and delusional. He’s our candidate. We should support him, because not to do so, gives this country to the looney left. Obama is a first class conman. If he is elected President this country will not recover from it for 100 years if ever. He is ten times worse than Carter was.

What's wrong with this is how many "carbon credits" it would cost under McCains plans.

Adopting a policy making it easier for terrorists to enter the country and destroy us from within our own borders is a disaster waiting to happen regardless of which socialist you support.

John McCain is a truly self-defeating individual.

The only good reason to vote for him is Barack Hussein Obama.

Unfortuantely, that will not be enough for too many conservatives.

These antics on his part will NEVER get him ONE Hispanic vote. But they WILL loose him a lot of Anglo conservative votes - ones he can’t afford to miss.

I knew McIdiot was going to this La Raza conference. I had also already known he was a Shamnesty advocate and doesn't want a real border fence built.

just more stones in that rather high hall this idiot is building between him and my vote.
