A Florida voter asks McCain about his open-borders outreach director

Dear Michelle,

I attended the townhall meeting earlier today in Polk City and asked John McCain:

Your Hispanic Outreach Campaign Advisor, Juan Hernandez, has written a book referring to illegal immigrants as “New American Pioneers.” Hernandez has also stated that illegal immigrants who use social security numbers of American citizens really don’t steal, they have no choice but to make up a number. Are you aware of his statements? Do you agree with him? If not would you consider removing him from your staff?

John McCain answered that he supported Juan Hernandez because he holds the same views as he (McCain) on other issues. He says that he determines his positions and Hernandez agrees with him, not the other way around. He appeared to be unaware of the specific positions of Hernandez that I related.

I would say I got a non-answer. I did not get a video but all the media were present.

Yeah, now you have to admit the truth about Huck.

He should get out of the immigration battle because he stinks on that issue.

Maybe he should talk about his great grasp of economics..oh wait...he needs another taxpayer funded job and doesn’t know much...well, maybe he could talk about his great knowledge of foreign policy and talk about getting the WMDs out of Jordan...oh wait maybe he could talk about the many ethics complaints against him in Arkansas...or maybe about how he left the Arkansas GOP in shambles after throwing his support behind Democrats instead of Republicans.

You know it funny that you want to tell people that Slick tongued Mike’s past is his past, but then we would also have to say that Romney, McCain, and Rudy’s records are just in the past just to be fair.

Where can I find info about that in fairly simple language, LOL? And do you have any “instinct” as to how it will go?

Huckabee’s past is understandable.

Mitt Romney’s past is indefensible.

What Romney would do were he elected U.S. President is undefinable. How could we possibly know?

You keep telling yourself that okay? Huck is already lining up behind (oops, I used that word behind again), McLame. When he does, he will go down in defeat and have to go get a real day job.

Your problem is that you hold yourself as better than others. Most people know better.

He is a US citizen being born in Fort Worth Texas. A better question for McCain would be “How can you justify having, as one of your advisors on Immigration issues, a former member of Mexico President Vincente Fox’s cabinet?”

Fox appointed Hernandez as a member of his cabinet ...I guess what is good enough for Fox is good enough for McCain.

Most people know me? Where are the cameras?   ;-`

Now, you sound like a liberal. Just because a man has standards, it doesn't mean he believes himself above others. All are sinners at the foot of the cross.

I didn't recognize the name at first, but I sure did recognize the face. Hernandez is a well-known open borders guy. Cripes, the guy's on Fox News all the time. If I knew what his stance on illegal immegration was, you can bet McCain did.

Maybe Huckabee can get a booth to sell his popped squirrel.

Amazing. A US citizen serving in an official capacity as a close advisor to a foreign leader. How does a foreigner gain that level of trust from a foreign leader, I wonder?

The info is on a prior thread on FR. How far it goes depends on how effectively groups like Numbers USA use it.

Sorry. Misunderstood your question in context.

I expect the Court to uphold the personal right to own guns, by a vote of 5-4, maybe 6-3.

Is that guy wearing a purse? Or is his purse sitting on the table beside him. The hat looks stupid.

“Just keep calling Mccain’s campaign headquarters:

703-418-2008

Yesterday they were dumbstruck by the outrage on the phones. Tomorrow let them hear the displeasure in having a MEXICAN CITIZEN advising a United States Presidential contender!”

Thanks!
