McCain Concedes Immigration Reform Bill Won't Gain GOP 'A Single Hispanic Voter'

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) conceded on Monday that Republicans will not win one new Hispanic voter over by passing a comprehensive immigration reform bill. "Let's say we enact it, comprehensive immigration reform, I don't think it gains a single Hispanic voter," McCain said in an interview with PBS's Gwen Ifill. "But what it does, it puts us on a playing field where we can compete for the Hispanic voter."

McCain has made comments indicating comprehensive immigration reform will not win over Hispanics, but he has also suggested that comprehensive immigration reform is a type of "gateway issue" that Republicans need to pass for Hispanics to consider voting for Republicans.

McCain continued, "If we don't do that, frankly... I see further polarization of the Hispanic voter and the demographics are clear that the Republican Party cannot win a national election. That's just a fact."

Not surprising that Jim Jones was a SF communist/marxist.

I wonder if McCain, in a quiet moment, ever thinks about how insane he sounds?

But it will get Johnny a pat on the head and a belly rub from Uncle Democrat. That always makes his tail wag in excitement. “Good boy Johnny; now stop jumping and barking.”

Heaven forbid that McCain think about what’s best for the country! He’s just a self-serving jerk.

My thoughts as well. What reason do we upfront give away our country to compete for some foreign votes.

This idiot is insane. This is about big money from the corporate donors and nothing more.

if I was as old as McCain and had my mind damaged by the North Vietnamese I wouldn’t care either if I screwed America forever via this amnesty giving Democrats a permanent majority. John McCain has no principles. For him there is no good or bad, he just want have people like him and kiss his arse in Washington DC which he has been addicted to for years

Two years ago just to win a primary McCain came off as an immigration hardliner. The stupid voters were fooled by this

Then why do it?
If the GOP want to get votes, do what's right for the country rather than pander to the opposition who would never vote (R) under any circumstances anyway.

We have learned that certain corporations are going to pay off republicans to make citizens of the illegals.

It’s a done deal.

huh?

My thought exactly. Perhaps Mr. McCain, and others in his camp, would like to explain to us dunder-headed voters why they can't compete for them, now.

Seriously, if a Freeper could clue me in how they think, I'd appreciate it. I mean, Conservative values win every time they are tried, with honesty. So, either is the open border crowd saying that Hispanics are fundamentally unable to embrace Conservatism, or what?

He's a addicted to the social scene that goes on in Washington DC and same for his wife though I think she lives in Arizona most of the time. All 100 US Senators are treated like gods in DC. All their wives exert pressure for them to remain and do what it takes to remain a US Senator. With The House of Representatives it is the same but not as intense

McCain is not running again so he will do whatever the hell he wants to now but has been addicted to DC for 30 years by now since he started off in the House of Representatives
