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?

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.

He and Jimmuh Cartuh can start the Washington chapter of the "Life isn't fair" club.
