McCain’s billionaire national finance co-chair Jerry Perenchio
MichelleMalkin.com ^ | 01/28/08 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 01/28/2008 8:11:27 AM PST by DFG

Meet Jerry Perenchio. He’s a National Finance Co-Chair of the McCain 2008 campaign and the billionaire founder of Spanish-language media conglomerate, Univision. He also heads up a charitable foundation that has showered gobs of money on extremist green lobbying groups. Take open-borders zeal, add campaign finance hypocrisy, mix with eco-radicalism, and presto:

The perfect, multiculti-profiteering McCain money buddy.

Thanks.

As you know, I have been against McAinal since 2000.

His stands in the last few years are truly scary for any of us who know history and have the ability to interpert what is really happening.

He also gave generously to Bill Richardson’s campaigns–$100,000 from him another $50,000 from his wife for the New Mexico Democrat governor’s failed presidential bid last year, plus about $167,000 from Perenchio and one of his companies to Richardson’s 2002 campaign.

How can anybody give mor than 4600 to a campaign?

McCain faltered in 2000 in part because real people were able to spend their money to get out the truth.

McCain passed McCain/Feingold to stop that.

He doesn’t mind the restrictions — because he has people who own networks (which are exempt from the law) who are billionaires and will give him free press and support.

Here are the Senators who voted against the Cornyn amendment , which would have established a permanent bar for gang members, terrorists, and other criminals looking to snag a shamnesty visa. Republicans underlined:

Never forget McCain not only pushed the amnesty bill, he refused to allow exclusions for the worst of the lot. And he unloaded his infamous temper on his mild-mannered senate colleague for having the audacity to introduce this amendment.

Apologies to any who feel I am spamming this message on campaign threads, but it is an important message on a key vote which needs to get out.

He is still showing his Keating inclinations....and all of his ranting about the bridge to nowhere is just veneer....

He is on a total ego trip ...for power...

At least the Senator from Alaska was trying to get some help from the Federal Government to develop the infastructure for Alaska....since the Federal Government has all of their natural assets locked up ....like ANWR.

Sen Stevens is a much more Honest man....

From the Blogosphere( CQ):

Conservatism On The Sleeve And On The Hoof

*************************EXCERPT*************************

John Fund takes a look at the problematic relationship between John McCain and conservatives in his party, and focuses on one of the hot-button issues: judicial nominations. He doesn't give activists much hope on this front, quoting McCain as supportive of John Roberts' nomination but rejecting Samuel Alito as a model for future nominations. Why? Alito didn't hide his conservative nature well enough:

Nothing would improve Mr. McCain's standing with conservatives more than a forthright restatement of his previously stated view that "one of our greatest problems in America today is justices that legislate from the bench." Mr. McCain bruised his standing with conservatives on the issue when in 2005 he became a key player in the so-called gang of 14, which derailed an effort to end Democratic filibusters of Bush judicial nominees. More recently, Mr. McCain has told conservatives he would be happy to appoint the likes of Chief Justice John Roberts to the Supreme Court. But he indicated he might draw the line on a Samuel Alito, because "he wore his conservatism on his sleeve."

Therein lies the problem that many conservatives have with John McCain. It is the nagging feeling that after all of his years of chummily bonding with liberal reporters and garnering favorable media coverage from them that the Arizona senator is embarrassed to be seen as too much of a conservative.

Last week's editorial endorsement of Mr. McCain by the New York Times, which delighted in recounting every one of Mr. McCain's disagreements with conservatives, didn't help. "John has to begin a new phase of his campaign," says one prominent Republican in Congress who is backing Mr. McCain. "He has to decide if he wants to be a leader of the conservative movement that he says he joined after Ronald Reagan inspired him to enter politics in 1982. If he does that, he can be accepted. If he doesn't, he will have to settle for a shotgun marriage with conservatives."

We should know the answer soon enough. Shortly after I suggested that McCain make an appearance at the CPAC convention next week, the McCain campaign reportedly came to the same decision. They have not formally accepted an invitation to the annual convention, the largest aggregate of conservative activists every year, but supposedly they have rented some exhibit space and people believe McCain may make an appearance.

McCain will find himself in a tough spot on judges. The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA, or McCain-Feingold) will face some hard challenges in the next few years. A more constructionist court may take issue with the restrictions the BCRA places on political speech in pursuit of clean campaigning. The BCRA envisions a changing definition of the First Amendment that simply doesn't exist with strict constructionists such as Alito, Antonin Scalia, or Clarence Thomas. It seems unlikely that McCain will appoint jurists who would undo the BCRA at their first opportunity.

Perhaps McCain can explain this better to the conservatives who see Supreme Court nominations as the Holy Grail of presidential politics. He will find no better place than at CPAC, which I plan to attend as a credentialed blogger. But if he objects to jurists who honestly and forthrightly believe in limited judicial power and leaving legislation to legislators, he will find that a number of the activists at CPAC not only wear their conservatism on their sleeves but also put conservatism on the hoof. They take it seriously, and by at least meeting with them, McCain can send the signal that he takes them seriously as well.

From the Blogosphere(Plumb Bob Blog):

McCain Hires Open Borders Champion

************************EXCERPT**************************

Michelle Malkin and Allahpundit report this morning that the McCain campaign has hired notorious open-borders activist Dr. Juan Hernandez as his Director of Hispanic Outreach. He apparently joined McCain’s staff quietly last November.

Hernandez regards Mexico and western America as a single region, and favors free access across the borders for workers. Hernandez not only encouraged Mexicans to break US immigration law, but worked in the Mexican community in the US to ensure that they did not “go native” by losing their Mexican identity and citizenship, while working for the Vicente Fox administration in Mexico and teaching at the University of Texas.

Check out the interview that Hot Air posted (Allahpundit link, above). He’s completely following the leftist playbook, tugging shamelessly on emotions while refusing to address any question directly, but saying that he is. He’s not very good at it, it’s obvious that he’s been coached. Keep your air sickness bag close.

Republican primary candidates are all pandering to conservative issues, but not credibly. By doing so, they’re acknowledging that the Republican party is mostly conservative, and that they’re out of touch with it. McCain’s version of this dance is to distance himself from amnesty, declaring that he’s never supported amnesty. This is the same McCain, however, who cussed at the thought of the border fence, whose Immigration Reform Act allowed law-breaking immigrants to become citizens after paying a small fine, and who now has hired, not an open-borders moderate like himself, but a full-blow advocate for MexAmeriCanada (with a hat tip to Glenn Beck for the nomenclature).

A family friend of mine works on Russ Feingold’s staff. He’s a Progressive. He can’t stand McCain; “He’s duplicitous,” says my friend. I see what he means, but frankly, it doesn’t surprise me. I’ve written enough about McCain that he’s earned his own category.

I’m flexible, but I absolutely shudder at the thought that this man might become President. If he runs against Clinton, I’ll duct tape my head so it doesn’t explode (another nod to Glenn Beck) and vote for him, but in any other election, I won’t pull the level for John McCain.

From Dr. Juan Hernandez on Nightline, June 7 , 2001, courtesy of The Corner:

I want the third generation, the seventh generation, I want them all to think ‘Mexico first.’

Does this sound like sound US policy to you?

A Prime Example of Political Opportunism and playing both sides of the field for all they are worth.

Pray for our country, folks.

This is not good when those sworn to protect and preserve instead loot and lie under the cloak of deception..

More Multiculturalism [Mark Krikorian]

**********************************************

Actually, this is more like transnationalism. A reader alerted me to the fact that McCain's "Hispanic Outreach Director" is the same guy who held that job for Mexico's President Vicente Fox! U.S.-born dual citizen Juan Hernandez was in Fox's cabinet as Director of the Office for Mexicans Living Abroad and is notorious for having said of Mexican Americans on Nightline on June 7, 2001, "I want the third generation, the seventh generation, I want them all to think 'Mexico first.'" Does McCain agree with this? Has he offered Hernandez, a former high-level foreign government official who presumably swore an oath to uphold the Mexican constitution, a place in a future McCain Administration? That's not a rhetorical question.
