John McCain and Barak Obama each to address major Latino gathering (La Raza)
LA Times ^ | 6/9/08 | Don Federick

Posted on 06/09/2008 1:19:21 PM PDT by pissant

San Diego usually is a fine place to be under any circumstances, but for a couple of days this July the political world will flock there for clues about one of the crucial questions in the John McCain-Barack Obama matchup: Whither the Latino vote?

The National Council of La Raza, a leading Latino civil rights and advocacy organization, announced today that both presidential contenders have accepted invitations to speak at its July 12-15 convention in San Diego. No details yet on when each will speak, but their appearances likely will be among the most important they make during the month.

For Obama, the mission is straightforward: Woo an ethnic group that is absolutely essential to his hopes of carrying several key states in November but which heavily supported his rival, Hillary Clinton, during the just-completed Democratic primary season.

McCain's campaign has released the text of his La Raza speech. Here it is:

"How many square miles will you be wanting?"

La Raza is, on its face, a racist organization.

That we’ve sunk to the point that presidential nominees feel comfortable pandering to it is beyond unfortunate.

WHy?...is he going to stand on a ball & juggle?...might as well.

Don’t forget. It is the white folks who are “racist”. White people apparently have lost the will to survive and protect what our ancestors fought for, died for and passed to us. We are being grinded into the ground with all this race crap and most whites just mumble something about not being “racist”. Which is ludicrous. It doesn’t matter whether you are are not. They are. That is why they have race based political & advocacy groups. They don’t care whether you are or not. No matter how many times you proclaim you are not or how you try to prove you are not IT DOESN’T MATTER. The politicos embrace it all too including Mr McCain. This mantra will be pushed until all whites either surrender and in turn surrender America or stand up.

Attending a La Raza conference in 2008 is akin to attending a US Communist Party conference in 1988. Both organizations are dedicated to the destruction of the USA.

It's unbelievable any Presidential Candidate would do such a thing. Well, it used to be unbelievable. Nowadays, pandering to America's enemies obviously is OK.

BACKSTORY A recent FR report indicated a Corpus Christi Sheriff is looking for 19 undocumented immigrants from Honduras who had cell phones and may be receiving help to remain hidden from authorities.

(Snort) The prevailing wage in Honduras at $3 per day.........yet they have cell phones and are able to pay the freight to get over the border?

THE REAL STORY These invaders are working for drug cartels who supply them w/ cell phones and all that is necessary to clear the way for bigtime drug smuggling.

Even as we type, Mexican and Columbian drug cartels are waging war in border towns near New Mexico to carve out their turf.

Two reasons:

(1) Drug cartels envision huge profits now that Mexican trucks are hauling on US highways--- the trucks are easily loaded up with drugs and illegal aliens (drug runners) with no fear of L/E-----b/c Bush authorized this atrocity.

(2) The US is overrun by invaders from Third World countries, who are organizing themselves into a voting bloc. They use fraudulent documents, stolen IDs and multiple addresses to register in several precincts.

The longterm plan is to takeover the US government to change the foundation of our country from the rule of law to mob rule.

Drug cartels are setting themselves up to benefit from latino mob rule.

Considering both presidential candidates are kowtowing to LaRaza, I'd say it's already short term - fast track!

Contemplating how Ramos and Compeon are still in prison, punished for defending our nation's sovereignty from a multiple-time-illegal crossing drug runner, who was "a trusted State witness," it hasn't been looking good for some time now for those of us who want immigration law strictly enforced, but not against those upholding it (it's a downright travesty of justice!!!)

From Michelle Malkin:

McCain’s lobbyist purge: All the foreign agents but one?

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 19, 2008 01:32 PM

1nowall.jpg

Five McCain campaign staffers and volunteers have now been shown the door over their lobbying activities and/or status as foreign agents. WaPo reports on the latest:

Tom Loeffler, the national finance co-chairman for Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign, resigned yesterday because of his lobbying ties, a campaign adviser said.
This Story

He is the fifth person to sever ties with the campaign amid a growing concern over whether lobbyists have too great an influence over the Republican nominee. Last week, campaign manager Rick Davis issued a new policy that requires all campaign personnel to either resign or sever ties with lobbying firms or outside political groups.

“The campaign over the last week or so obviously had a perception problem with regards with this whole business of lobbyists and their work,” spokesman Brian Rogers said. “This is really all about setting a policy so that we can just get through that perception problem and the issues that come up with regards to lobbyists affiliated with the campaign and move on.”

A left-wing outfit has a few more top McCain aides on its hit list.

But not a word from either the MSM or the lefties about McCain Hispanic outreach advisor Juan Hernandez, the former Mexican cabinet official who lobbied aggressively for illegal alien rights and benefits in the US on behalf of a foreign government. He still serves as a fellow at the conflict-of-interest-clouded Reform Institute funded with money from George Soros while continuing to advance Mexico’s open-borders agenda and drumming up campaign cash for McCain, most recently, as I reported earlier this month, for Cinco de Mayo.

So: What about Juan?

I am just jumpin’ up and down. I know this will be Juan’s big chance to win the conservatives over.

Both Barry and Juan are going to sell out their country for these votes.

Geesh, I am sooooo excited.

We need to smack both of these T*rds down.

McC and Hernandez will then quaff a liter of Absolut vodka to toast the start of Reconquista.

IMHO Reconquista has begun and a view of the Top 101 US cities with the lowest number of English speaking people points to that probability.

Language other than Englist spoken in Los Angeles

Language other than English spoken at home, pct age 5+, 2000 Los Angeles 54.1%

In Miami, Spaish is the key language

According to the Census, 58.5 percent of the county's 2.4 million residents speak Spanish — and half of those say they don't speak English well. English-only speakers make up 27.2 percent of the county's residents.

Top 101 US cities with the lowest number of English speaking people

I live in the United States the main language is English?

There are 4 states right now that have more Spanish speaking people then English. They are Texas, New Mexico, California and Maryland.

Obama’s speech to La Raza:

(La Raza (The Race), Largest Hispanic organization in the U.S.
Lobbies for racial preferences, bilingual education, stricter hate crimes laws, mass immigration, and amnesty for illegal aliens )

Obama said the recent Senate immigration debate “was both ugly and racist in a way we haven’t see since poststhe struggle for civil rights.”...
Obama told La Raza that the mass protests lately of for immigration rights of Mexicans is equal in greatness to the civil rights protest of the past!

Omama supports La Raza’s, the “DREAM Act,” which would mandate states to offer in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens — thus providing them with benefits not available to U.S. citizens from other states.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Want to know what’s sad? I voted for “No Preference” in the GOP Presidential primary here in NC. A friend of mine called me later that day and I told him what I had done. My quote was “It’s bad enough I will have to vote for him in November - don’t make me vote for this guy twice!”

I have no enthusiasm whatsoever for McCain. None. However, he is the lesser of two evils - barely...

How very true. I myself, am a top secret operative for the ultra stealth CU,conservative underground.

Our desire is to infiltrate conservative forums to encourage and promote true conservative leanings.

Our desire is to see to the elimination of RINO interlopers who taint our message and break down the strength of so called conservative pretenders.

This message should self destruct, or at the very least serve to draw the enemy into the light.

Go, be safe.

You and me both. Ever seen him on television? He has that same smarmy, condescending smirk. He talks in the same way, with a smart-ass, smarmy, condescending tone with that "eat $#!+" smirk, and says "my friends" ever other sentence (wonder whether he picked that up from J Mc or the other way around.
