McCain "MY Friends" alert!
The Volokh Conspiracy ^ | April 12, 2006 at 1:07am | Eugene Volokh

Posted on 02/08/2008 12:33:12 PM PST by ScratInTheHat

Sen. McCain on Jobs No American Citizens Want, Even at $50/Hour: The comments to one of my posts pointed to this claim by Sen. McCain:

[Speaking to the AFL-CIO's Building and Construction Trades Department, McCain took] questions, including a pointed one on his immigration plan.

McCain responded by saying immigrants were taking jobs nobody else wanted. He offered anybody in the crowd $50 an hour to pick lettuce in Arizona.

Shouts of protest rose from the crowd, with some accepting McCain's job offer.

"I'll take it!" one man shouted.

McCain insisted none of them would do such menial labor for a complete season. "You can't do it, my friends."

Don't listen to McCain's promises of the moment: observe his actions.

This is the man John McCain chose to be his "Hispanic Outreach Director." Hernandez is a verified traitor. Born in Dallas he decided as an adult to become a dual-national Mexican citizen. His last job was serving as Mexican President Vicente Fox's "American Reconquista Director."

Hernandez believes all Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the USA should become dual citizens and consider themselves Mexicans first, "to the 8th generation."

The "New American Pioneers" proclaimed in his book are the illegal alien invaders he urges to become settlers in the USA.

And this is the man McCain chose for his "Hispanic Outreach Director." In the past week he was asked about this choice, and he said he chose Hernandez because he agrees with his positions.

Yet out of the other side of his mouth he says "He has heard us" and he will "Secure the border first."

Juan Shamnesty McCain is precisely a treacherous liar.

McCain is a lying sack of sh*t. He will lose in November, and deservedly so. The Republican party has betrayed us. Captain Queeg will raise your taxes, grant citizenship to 20+ million illegals, impose an extremist environmental agenda, and more. No Conservative should consider voting for McCain in November. Lets hope Obama is the Democrat nominee, otherwise get used to the sound of “President Clinton” again.

I can do it. I’ve spent plenty of time in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. It’s not like white guys can’t work in heat, once acclimated.

Show me da’ money , “amigo”.

How do you think you’ll like the Supreme Court Justices “President” Obama appoints?

Hmmmmm?

The unfair and unequal status of permanent Z-visas will then become the next great civil rights struggle. Their position will be compared to Jim Crow and apartheid. They will get full citizenship right within 5-10 years of getting Z-visas. That’s a lock.

When McCain says “my friends” cover your backside. There is no way McCain is that detached from reality. Even with rich heiress money, he has to realize that $50/hour picking lettuce jobs would get filled rather quickly by American citizens. I have done a hell of a lot worse for a hell of a lot less.

Nop, but I definitely wont like JMCC cutting a deal with Democrats on social security to raise the cap on payroll tax. The end of the Republican party for good.

I suppose you have the magic formula that can make John beat Obama or the beast?

I wont like them any more than I’d like the liberals that Captain Queeg would appoint to the Supreme Court. Justice Alito was “too conservative” for McCain.

Re SCOTUS: Do you think that Republicans will win every election for the rest of history?

“Drink RINO arsenic Koolaid, it’ll kill you slower than ‘Rat cyanide Koolaid” is a great new party slogan, but I’m going to pass this time.

So McCain’s favorite term is “My friends”. The she-devils is “you know”. Anybody know what Husseins favorite term is? I think we’ll find out its “Allah Akbar”. Just a guess.

Unfortunately, there isn’t one. I’m already down $10.00 betting my niece-in-law that there would be a GOP president next year. Of course, that was back when McCain seemed an impossibility, and Fred Thompson, like Spring, was in the air.

Whoda thunk?

McCain must be stopped. He will finish the complete destruction of the conservative movement and the GOP, which Dubya started. If he loses, we have a good chance to get it back.
