For his next trick, Juan will carry a scorpion across the water on his back and not get stung.

John McCain sounds angry and frustrated that, despite the risks he took in pushing immigration reform, Hispanic voters flocked to Democrat Barack Obama in last year's presidential contest.

So, what did you expect, Juan?

[MNSlim]

McCain is no longer running for president. You got your Obama. Get over it.

The communications director didn’t go the meeting? She isn’t doing a very good job of communicating, what with the “That’s so old news” response. As for the Hispanics, they are reaping what they have sown. Asi es la vida. Did they really expect him to lift a pinky to help him after he sided with them against the American people, and they stiffed him? As I mentioned in an earlier story, he is ga-ga.

[cripplecreek]

Go away Juan, America doesn’t need you.

What the heck happened to Thune - supporting amnesty? I thought he was a conservative?

Please define what an Hispanic is, Juan.

RINO McStain has been a disaster for the Republican party.
Always has been and always will be.

Well come on now, lord McCain is running for reelection. And if there is one thing that lord McCain is sure about is people talking. So he gets some ‘free’ advertising for his senate election....without ever running an ad and yet deny because NOBODY is talking on the record. And so it must mean his internal polling results are NOT looking so hot.

Toooo bad lord McCain was not wise enough to realize that promoting illegals at the literal tax expense of American citizens, would not pave his way to the white house.

McCain simply does not get it. He believed that he could appeal to the Hispanic community by serving their interests on a specific issue, albeit an issue of great intensity to Hispanics. McCain simply does not understand that while he was appealing to Hispanics on a rational level about their rational interests, Democrats were working Hispanics' emotions by playing the race card.

It was a contest he could never win. He is an old enough politician to have known better. But then Rinos never seem to learn that lesson either.

Republicans have got to learn that Democrats take guns to knife fights.

So John McCain has damaged Republican brand in the run-up to the election and now, with these remarks, in the aftermath to the election. I can think of only one other politician who has done the Republican Party more harm with respect to the matter of immigration and he shall go nameless but his initials are George W. Bush.

It's stories like this that warm the cockles of my heart. What could be better. Johnny McCain sucks up to these people, stabs us in the back just to get their votes and they stiff him in the election and suck up to "THE ONE"and turn out in droves for him and he stiffs them. Life is good!!!p>

I think 0bama will push for amnesty, not because he likes or cares about Hispanics, but because his needs the 12 million new voters to continue his Extrteme Marxist Makeover of America.

0bama has actually advocted discrimination against Hispanics.

“...while everyone agrees that the Hispanic population has grown, they cannot expand by taking African-American seats.”

[MuttTheHoople]

Well, Juan, you made your bed and now you have to live in it.

[Kakaze]

Well said, Nathan, McCain promised the Hispanic vote a possible amnesty, while the dems not only promised them checks.......they wrote them.

[Marty62]

Boy does he need a chill pill...

[La Lydia]

I think that depends on how things go with matters unrelated to immigration that he feels are important. He certainly doesn’t give a rat’s about Hispanics, and he is deceptive and unscrupulous. If he allows his head to continue to expand at the rate it is expanding now, he might chance it. But he also might think about how that one issue finished off Bush’s support. BO was very dependent on the independent vote last time. He will have to calculate whether that portion of the electorate would go along with amnesty granted during an economic downturn and still support him. His popularity is already slipping. Another terror attack could finish off the amnesty idea, regardless of how the terrorists got into our country. Meanwhile, BO has quietly and effectively planted pro-amnesty, pro-open border appointments throughout his government in second- and third-tier positions, and they are doing their thing, hence the release of the Washington illegals, the guarding of Mexico’s border rather than ours, and that whole mess.
