Hispanic leaders: McCain losing clout among Latinos
KTAR FM 92.3 News Talk Phoenix, AZ ^ | 2008-09-30 | Jim Cross & Kevin Tripp

A small group of Hispanic leaders in Arizona who are supporting Democrat Barack Obama say Republican John McCain won't enjoy the same strong support among Latinos in his home state as he has in past elections.

Group member Mary Rose Wilcox said McCain's strength among Latinos has dwindled. That's primarily because he de-emphasized his support for a path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants and now says border security is the first immigration priority.

Wilcox, a Democrat and Maricopa County supervisor, said Hispanics view McCain's change in position as a betrayal.

"Forty-seven percent of the people who bought homes in the Hispanic community bought them with a subprime," Wilcox said. "They are going to lose their homes -- 47 percent."

The “path to citizenship” is the same one they sneaked in on. It just goes in the other direction!

Too bad for that 47 percent. Maybe they should return to Mexico and buy a house with a new subprime loan.

So basically, McCain is to lose support because he won’t offer bailouts for people who took out subprime loans?

That is crazy and slightly disgusting.

Not in Arizona, our new law requires U.S. valid ID to vote.

Well I’m scared now. We better make the bailout bill two trillion dollars to make sure everybody gets a free house.

Sheesh.

Thanks for putting a face on the demographic who's irresponsibility most likely caused this mess.

But they left out that most were undoubtedly illegal.

It’s hard to tell the forest for the trees - the media has no connection with the truth and can’t take the pulse of the electorate. NO one knows who is ahead since the polls are designed to give specific answers - and not ask questions. There is no authoritative overall source of information about the election that is accurate - there are only lies and skewed polls and media propaganda designed to torment and twist ‘public opinion’.

Oh, well. I bet McCain still carries Arizona, Ms. Wilcox.

A sizeable chunk of these defaulted Billions come from ALT-A liar loans encouraged by the pro-amnesty crowd and taken by illegals. Now hispanics have the cajones to squeeze McCain for bailouts for their vote. The Shamnesty impact is coming to roost early.

That's what I was thinking, who cares if he's lost their support, they can't vote anyway.
