ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following statement on Cinco de Mayo as his campaign announced several new Spanish efforts:
"Cinco de Mayo commemorates an important moment in the history of Mexico's path to freedom. On this day in 1862, a small group of Mexican troops overcame overwhelming force to win the Battle of Puebla. Today, we join together to remember the sacrifice that these Mexican patriots endured, as well as the struggles of all those around the world striving for freedom. We recognize as well the important friendship that exists between our country and Mexico, and celebrate the many contributions Mexican-Americans have made to our society, culture, security and economy."
The Cinco de Mayo statement can now also be found on the Spanish section of the official campaign website at http://espanol.johnmccain.com, which the campaign launched today. This part of the website will feature regular updates in Spanish throughout the election. Finally, as part of his commitment to talking with all Americans during this presidential campaign, the McCain presidential campaign announced that John McCain will attend the La Raza Annual Convention in San Diego on Monday July 14, 2008.

“Cinco de Mayo commemorates an important moment in the history of Mexico’s path to freedom.”
McQueeg is mistaken...........the French kicked their asses.
McCain has done again what he is so good at - being a Democrat traitor.
Whatever respect he earned in VN has been wiped off the books in the same way that Murtha has done.
It is time for all good FRs too get behind the 2nd wave of Operation CHAOS and dump McCain from the GOP ticket.
I will not vote for him in any case regardless who the DemoRats have - I’ll vote Constitutional Party.
McCain is a traitor at least as much as HitleryC or HusseinO.
This is like attending a KKK convention: National Council of the Race.
McCain/Hernandez 08
Teddy Ballgame (through his Mom) was of Mexican descent, too. He contributed "406" to our lexicon!
Shocked? Anyone?

She wears them well, though, and gets credit for that.
LaRaza.... and Juan McCain is supporting the racist, conquest of AZTLAN, Illegal group.
Yes, Freepers. It is time to drop your drawers and bend over and vote for ole’ Juan. A tiger doesn’t change his stripes. But since you all say he is SOOO much better than Hitlery or Obama, then get ready.
Just more evidence of why I can NEVER vote for McCain, regardless of who he picks as VP.
PERIOD.
