McCain commercial blames Obama for 'amnesty' failure – in Spanish

A new Spanish-language John McCain television commercial airing in Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico attacks Barack Obama for not doing enough to support the so-called "comprehensive immigration reform" legislation backed by President Bush and Sen. Ted Kennedy that was defeated in 2007 after a national uprising in which it was characterized as a massive amnesty scheme.

The English-language translation of the 30-second commercial, "Which Side Are They On?" is here:

Announcer: Obama and his congressional allies say they are on the side of immigrants. But are they?

The press reports that their efforts were "poison pills" that made immigration reform fail.

The result:

No guest worker program.

No path to citizenship.

No secure borders.

No reform.

Is that being on our side?

Obama and his congressional allies ready to block immigration reform, but not ready to lead.

McCain: I'm John McCain and I approve this message.

Announcer: Paid for by McCain-Palin 2008 and the Republican National Committee. Approved by McCain-Palin 2008.

In supporting its claims in the commercial, the McCain campaign cited a Christian Science Monitor column of April 17 by Ariel Sabar that said: "Obama was part of the bipartisan group of senators who began meeting in 2005 on comprehensive immigration reform. But last summer, with the presidential nominating race well under way, Obama backed 11th-hour amendments – supported by labor, immigrant rights, and clergy groups – that Republicans saw as imperiling the fragile compromise. None of those measures passed. But Obama was part of a 49-to-48 majority that voted to end after five years a temporary worker program that had been a cornerstone of the immigration deal. The vote, backed by labor, was seen as a major setback to bipartisan negotiations."

How anyone can support McCain after eight years of opposing Bush's support of Amnesty for illegal aliens, knowing full well the illegal alien invasion is destroying and will continue to destroy the country absolutely defies logic.

[Oyarsa]

This can’t be; McCain has assured us that he “learned his lesson”.

Shirley you’re not suggesting that this ad negates that claim...

[Eleutheria5]

El Alerto de Barfo. I almost forgot why I was so reluctant to support McCain in the first place. Now I remember.

Because pretending that 0bama will not do at least the same--if not more--on immigration issue is unbelievable. With McCain win, we'll get Sarah Palin.

[Man50D]

With McCain win, we'll get Sarah Palin.

I hate to burst your bubble but the President/Presidential candidate sets the agenda for his or her administration and any VP running mate is so because that person has agreed to support the Presidential candidate on at least a majority of the issues.

[yorkie01]

McCain needs to shut his piehole.

[rolling_stone]

Hehe McCain shows his true colors, anyone here still believe a word he says?

[Darkwolf377]

Gee, isn't it funny how the "I'll never vote for McCain!" crowd--who have spent the last two weeks taking credit for Palin's selection due to their "pressure"--are emerging to say "See I told you so!" ?

There are only two reasons to support McCain, and no one here has any illusions about that--because it sets up his more conservative VP for the future (thus bringing energy to help defeat Obama and possibly stave off disaster in Congress by blunting the Dems' gains there" and because he's not Obama.

You guys still don't get it. We don't love McCain any more than we did before--we're just not willing to let Obama ruin the country. We're not as "pure" as you all, but we love our country and understand what all mature adults get--sometimes you don't get to choose between good and bad, but worse and slightly better than worse.

[cripplecreek]

McCain is a liar plain and simple.

[Former Dodger]

You nailed it Darkwolf, well said!

[normy]

Perhaps those complaining will prefer the Somali Muslims currently being brought in to take the place of Mexican illegals to work their local slaughterhouse. You know the ones demanding special holidays and walking off the job to demand special religious treatment.

It's time to work out our illegal issue. Its festered too long but it's far better to have Catholic Mexicans with at least similar culture to ours than Muslims from half way around the world.

[Thane_Banquo]

Perhaps we can support McCain because we aren’t single issue voters, and we realize having a Muslim as President at a time when our chief enemy is radical Islam, would be catastrophic.

[cripplecreek]

I have no doubt that McCain will win, mostly by virtue of the fact that his opponent is even more pathetic than he is. The sad thing is that his voters are worshiping him like some kind of God and are only emboldening him to do whatever the hell he wants. (he’s still a public servant)

Look at the way they’re throwing their panties at the leftist Rothschild.

[Sybeck1]

Move that plant to Mexico. Problem solved....

[Sybeck1]

Sadly McCain will see the large anti-Obama vote as his mandate and work across the aisle to get things done will only hurt conservatism, while Palin might as real at that time be posted on a milk carton, as she will be seen less than Cheney the next for years.

I wish sometimes McCain would limp across, then he have to hold special regards to conservatives for getting him there.

[EEDUDE]

I’ve reluctantly moved into your camp. I despise McCains push for amnesty and think it will be disastrous for us. If there were ANY other choice, I would never vote for McCain.

But Obama will do this, and more, to damage America.

It really sucks. But there it is.

[cripplecreek]

I feel kind of sorry for governor Palin. She’s been built up the mythical superwoman status but will become a target of those worshiping her when reality sets in.

[LibLieSlayer]

Not according to Palin... she has been given autonomy of positions by McCain. She said she would not have taken the position otherwise. I believe her and not you.

LLS

[LibLieSlayer]

Some of us can actually investigate what it is that she has done in office... and then there are these innuendos like yours. Palin will be fine... better than Bush and McCain and FAR better than that POS muzzie communist.

LLS

[cripplecreek]

and then there are these innuendos like yours.

And what inuendo is that? That she's a mere mortal?

No, that she is certain to be a disappointment in your opinion. Truth is... perception is reality and she is perceived very well in America.

[Guenevere]

I have said many times....and I still say....

I cannot vote for the 'lesser' of two evils.

I am not a hypocrite...and I still pay close attention to the issues of my heart.

..but I have never been as hopeful, as energized since McCain picked Governor Palin to be his running mate.

He gave me a reason to vote in this election.

I don't know all the ins and outs or why he made this daring move....(except for the obvious, he really wants to win)

..but I think, I truly think she IS from God...

..and I intend to work to get them elected, and I intend to put a bumper sticker on my car, and I intend to vote for them.

I pray for him....I pray she will influence him for the good...I pray he will know the Lord in a very real way...

...Most of all I have been praying for mercy for our nation, even though I had finally accepted we were heading for judgment instead.

John McCain's choice of Governor Palin looks like mercy to me!

Man50D, Cripplecreek, and others....I respect your decisions, your opinions, your concerns....

Please respect mine.

[LibLieSlayer]

I'm with you G... these people just want to punish America because we did not vote for their guy... well my guy lost too... but Palin is from GOD and I honor HIS gift with my vote for her!

LLS

[TADSLOS]

Once again, McCain shows his utter disregard and contempt for the citizenry of the U.S.

He's a reformer all right, and we aren't gonna like the kind of reform he's intent on ramming down our throats.

[TADSLOS]

these people just want to punish America because we did not vote for their guy.

You want to vote for a liberal-globalist? Knock yourself out. Don't bitch and whine about McCain's version of reform this time next year, if he's elected.

[cripplecreek]

Man50D, Cripplecreek, and others....I respect your decisions, your opinions, your concerns....

Please respect mine.

You know I do. You also understand our reasons for vocal opposition to McCain. He's simply the last man in the GOP who should be given a mandate to freely do as he pleases. After all, this is a man who would happily shut down Free Republic and other sites that he feels are detrimental to his agenda.

As far as Sarah Palin is concerned, I like her but recognize that she isn't being elected to the presidency, at least not yet.

[uncbob]

I don't agree with a lot of what McCain is about BUT there is NO WAY in hell I would allow Obama to become CIC of our armed forces --with all the sacrifices they and their families made and are making it would be a stab in the back to allow Obama to win

Not to speak of our own safety

[indcons]

What is Sarah Palin’s stance on the illegals? She seems to get her campaign cues from McCain on almost everything else.

[LibLieSlayer]

I'll complain about and become active about anything that I want to and you have no say in it at all. I want to keep barry soetero OUT of office and set Palin up for 2012. You offer no other workable solution. A third party is a vote for obammy. Reality is a B!TCH!

LLS

[LibLieSlayer]

If you had watched Sean’s interview with her you would know that your statement is not fact.

LLS

[TypeZoNegative]

But it’s easier to track Somali Muslims than it is to track Mexican illegals. A Somali Muslim commits a crime, he can’t escape to Somalia to avoid punishment. An illegal Mexican commits a crime and they can skip past the border and the American government can do nothing. And besides, most Somalis that are in this country were *invited* here, unlike the ME-xicans.

[indcons]

Please help me with the answer. What is Sarah Palin’s stance on the illegals?

His pandering to conservatives by giving us Palin is over. Now, the real McAmnesty is back.

[CottonBall]

Had to add the insults and derogatory names just to make your point? Oh yeah - those backing a lib usually act like libs....

[CottonBall]

I hate to burst your bubble but the President/Presidential candidate sets the agenda for his or her administration and any VP running mate is so because that person has agreed to support the Presidential candidate on at least a majority of the issues.

Having Palin on the ticket won't do a thing unless McAmnesty kicks off early in '09. She will have to agree with and back everything he says so they have a united front. In effect, he will liberalize her so much that we may not recognize her as a conservative in '12.

[CottonBall]

it's far better to have Catholic Mexicans with at least similar culture to ours

Hello? Have you been to a border state? Their culture isn't anything like ours, nor are they willing to even attempt to change. They have nothing but disdain for the hand that feeds them and even refuse to learn our language.

[CottonBall]

Palin will be fine... better than Bush and McCain and FAR better than that POS muzzie communist.

I don't doubt that. But she will have no power whatsoever. If she and McAmnesty differ on an issue, who do you think will win?

[Kevmo]

McCain is learning from Palin how to win an election. Palin is learning from McCain how to lose one.

[LibLieSlayer]

She has said that she wants secure borders and is in favor of LEGAL immigration. What is yours?

LLS

[LibLieSlayer]

She can put great influence upon him and has. You need to have a little trust and patience to see.

LLS

[Mr Rogers]

The truth is, I LOATHE MCCAIN!

And on his bad days, he is still at least 10 times the man Barack Obama is.

Sucks to be me, but with Palin on the ticket, I won’t have to get rip-roaring drunk to vote for McCain.

[normy]

It’s not crimes I am worried about but the using of the law to demand wash basins in public schools and calls to prayer 5 times a day.

[normy]

I live in one. Texas and Mexico have intertwining cultures to a degree.

Somali Muslims or any other Muslim are just here to use the law to force themselves upon us. Not a good choice imo.

[patriotspride]

+ 2 Darkwolf.

This is about making the best choice, and that’s not Barry O, and Joey......

McCain has his issues, Sarah is new, but give me them compared to the alternative.

[trumandogz]

She can put great influence upon him and has. You need to have a little trust and patience to see.

Yes, but only if Sarah talks to McCain in Spanish, the language he obviously understands.

[TypeZoNegative]

Yeah, that may be a bit odd, but it’s not illegal. Whatever somebody worships is their business, not mine. I’m more concerned with people disobeying our laws than worshiping Allah.

[Darkwolf377]

Had to add the insults and derogatory names just to make your point? Oh yeah - those backing a lib usually act like libs....

So you attack me for being insulting and derogatory, and then you add an insult and derogatory label.

You are a hypocrite.
