McCain's appeal to Latinos

I'll accept your point, though you did post the reference line: "Latinos recognize character" and immediately follow it with "How much character does it take to break in . . . . "

As amended and explained, we agree.

[Grunthor]

Thank you.

Your point is well taken, but McCain isn’t in trouble with his base for supporting American citizens of Spanish origin. The comprehensive immigration bill was about amnesty for illegal aliens. Latino Americans should be just as adamant about border security as any other citizen of this country. While I may be wrong I believe most of McCain’s Latino support comes from people favoring another wholesale amnesty program.IMHO

“For many conservatives, John McCain is not their favorite Republican. They think he’s built a career at their expense, painting them as fools and bigots.”

Think???

[calcowgirl]

Latinos are under fire thanks to an immigration debate that doesn't bother to distinguish
between recent immigrants and U.S. citizens - as long as they have Spanish surnames.

Hey Ruben... Got a mirror?

You've been stirrin' that pot for years now.

McCain is headed for the political drain.....Post Haste. He can have all the Hispanic vote he wants. Does him little good if he loses the conservative base. He just can’t win without us. I don’t feel like I have anything to lose by staying home and not voting for him. The GOP will never be the same if he wins anyway.

The author is a jerk, and pokes his finger in the eye of people who are concerned about illegal immigration by calling us “racists” again.

I’m a REAL immigrant, and I get called “racist” and “anti-immigration”...

Actually the illegal aliens and their enablers are the ones who are anti-immigration...

Those Americans who are against illegal aliens breaking our sovereign laws are the pro-immigration crowd...

[Cyropaedia]

Maybe we ought to deal with illegals the way the Mexican authorities do down in Mexico.

How about that Ruben...?

[calcowgirl]

They deport them, right?

I’m beginning to believe they are deporting them northward, though. ;-)

[Bull Market]

There would be no difference.

[SumProVita]

Nothing personal but anyone who says there would be NO difference is missing a few marbles.
