MIAMI -- The Latin Builders Association basked in the attention of four Republican candidates today, all of whom pledged to pay attention to issues prized by Latino voters. While Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) came at the end of the day, as association members were sipping cocktails, he came with a key guest: Sen. Mel Martinez, who formally announced he is endorsing his colleague for president. "The man that we should trust with the leadership of our nation as commander in chief ought to be John McCain," Martinez said, breaking into a mix of Spanish and English. "This is a man que habla claro. He talks straight." For good measure, Martinez added, "He's going to be Castro's worst nightmare," which prompted a round of applause from the largely-Cuban-American audience. McCain told the crowd his valued Martinez's support. "Mel Martinez, represents to me everything about freedom," he said, noting he came to the U.S. at fifteen without his parents. "It proved that in America you will go just as far, and no less, than where your ambitions will take you, to the U.S. Senate." McCain added that he will focus on pursuing the war in Iraq as well as pushing to oust Cuba's leader, Fidel Castro.

Has La Raza, MEChA and Lulac endorsed McCain yet? That’s what I’m waiting for! How about Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderón? Have they endorsed McCain?
LLS
McCain-Lieberman would make an excellent independent ticket. We should do everything that we can to make it happen.
McCain like Hillary believes he is owed the Presidency. He like Hillary would be a disaster for this country. The man needs to retire and go away.
I think we need a round table discussion from the candidates just on the subject of illegal immigration with Senator Sessions moderating.
Those two look like they need to get a room.A room,some Viagra,and a couple of paper bags.
Seems your sole purpose in signing up in Jan is to campaign for your boss.
MeCain has given the finger to Conservatives for years and now you come here pimping for McVotes from us?
It ain't happening dude, get over it.
Mac Pimpin’ is back....hopefully McC will be on his back soon enuf!

The New York Times just endorsed Hillary and McCain. Now Martinez endorses McCain. Might as well get all the Open Borders endorsements.
And the sooner he goes away the better...
Good God, man! Have you any idea how repulsive the spawn from that coupling would be??? Uglier even than one from Hillary Clinton and Webb Hubbell.
In the unlikely chance that she got pregnant,her friends at Planned Parenthood stand eager and ready to solve the problem.Mercifully,I don’t think even Viagra would get John back in the game so to speak.
You are more right than you know! CONLAMIC (a racist Latino organization) and their leader Miguel Rivera (the Hispanic version of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) have urged Republican Latinos to vote for McCain because he supports amnesty!!! See the following from CONLAMIC.net:
January 20, 2008
Washington, DC- The President of the National Coalition of Latino Clergy & Christian Leaders, Rev. Miguel Rivera has called to all Latino Evangelical pastors in the state of Florida to support Senator John McCain.
It is clear by now that most conservatives and evangelicals in Florida are being offered many choices, but for us the Latino Evangelical church Senator John McCain is the true smart choice due to his experience, his faith, strong conservative record and his compassion for the Latino community,” said Rev. Rivera.
“After a complete review of all the Republican candidates, it is a fact that Senator John McCain truly understands the concerns of the American people, on the important issues of the economy, border security, and is most prepared to fight the war against terrorism,” said Rev. Rivera.
“CONLAMIC recognizes that the state of Florida will be a critical battleground for the candidates and Latino Evangelical leaders must unite in support of Senator John McCain,” said Rev. Rivera.
No, but Juan Henandez has endorsed US border traitor, Juan McCain.
