McCain’s lobbyist purge: All the foreign agents but one?
michellemalkin.com ^ | 5/19/08 | michelle malkin

Five McCain campaign staffers and volunteers have now been shown the door over their lobbying activities and/or status as foreign agents. WaPo reports on the latest:

Tom Loeffler, the national finance co-chairman for Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign, resigned yesterday because of his lobbying ties, a campaign adviser said.

He is the fifth person to sever ties with the campaign amid a growing concern over whether lobbyists have too great an influence over the Republican nominee. Last week, campaign manager Rick Davis issued a new policy that requires all campaign personnel to either resign or sever ties with lobbying firms or outside political groups.

“The campaign over the last week or so obviously had a perception problem with regards with this whole business of lobbyists and their work,” spokesman Brian Rogers said. “This is really all about setting a policy so that we can just get through that perception problem and the issues that come up with regards to lobbyists affiliated with the campaign and move on.”

A left-wing outfit has a few more top McCain aides on its hit list.

But not a word from either the MSM or the lefties about McCain Hispanic outreach advisor Juan Hernandez, the former Mexican cabinet official who lobbied aggressively for illegal alien rights and benefits in the US on behalf of a foreign government. He still serves as a fellow at the conflict-of-interest-clouded Reform Institute funded with money from George Soros while continuing to advance Mexico’s open-borders agenda and drumming up campaign cash for McCain, most recently, as I reported earlier this month, for Cinco de Mayo.

So: What about Juan?

Nope... that would be the anti-depressant that claimed the motto of "The Change You Deserve" or "El Cambio Usted Merece." LOL.

It's supposed to cure depression. I think we could all use some Effexor instead of the cure the moderate pubblies are suggesting. ;-)

...... not a word about McCain Hispanic outreach advisor Juan Hernandez, the former Mexican cabinet official WHO IS A US CITIZEN and who lobbied aggressively for illegal alien rights and benefits on behalf of a foreign government.....and still serves as a fellow at the conflict-of-interest-clouded Reform Institute (funded with money from George Soros) while continuing to advance Mexico’s open-borders agenda.....Hernandez is also raising campaign cash for McCain............

I hear Hernandez is raising money to take out ads for McCain in Mexican newspapers and TV stations. Here's a preview:

"Undermine US national security. Vote for McCain."

This is the man John McCain chose to be his "Hispanic Outreach Director." Hernandez is a certified traitor. Born in Dallas, he decided as an adult to become a dual-national Mexican citizen. His last "real" job was serving on Mexican President Vicente Fox's cabinet as his "American Reconquista Director." After that gig ran out, he worked (sic) for George Soros funded internationalist foundations, like the one that published his new book.

The "New American Pioneers" proclaimed in his book are the illegal alien invaders he urges to become settlers in the USA. Hernandez believes all Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in the USA should become dual citizens and consider themselves Mexicans first, "to the 8th generation." He believes there should be no border at all between Mexico and the USA, ever.

And this is the man McCain chose for his "Hispanic Outreach Director." When McCain was asked about this choice, he said he chose Hernandez because he agrees with his positions. If so, McCain is supporting invasion and reconquista.

And if Jeremiah Wright is a scandal for Obama, why isn’t Hernandez a scandal for McCain?

Yes, I know the MSM believes that illegal immigrants can do no wrong, but do they really disagree with Wright’s anti-American statements?

What bothers me about this ex official from Mexico, is that people I respect seem to think he isn’t a problem at all.

This is certainly a time when the faux-Conservatives are shaking out.

Right. So what if the MSM doesn’t think he is a problem. That’s ironic but we knew the MSM does not really care about America haters.

More troubling is: How can “conservatives” think Wright is a problem for Obama, but Hernandez is not for McCain?

I agree. How about votes to affirm SCOTUS justices? We have trashed the left for voting to affirm terrible nominees. Then when it is revealed that McCain voted for Ginsberg, Breyer, Kennedy, and Souter, we’re told that he has promised to do better.

There is a disconnect on this guy that is five miles wide and a thousand miles long.

You know, I am sick of some of the McCain trolls telling me I shouldn’t b**ch about their boy because, they say, I am looking for a “perfect” candidate. We have all heard the McCain troll script (”stop whining,” “grow up,” etc.). And yet I could forgive McCain for voting for Ginsburg (even though that is bad enough) and other liberal actions he has taken in the past if he would just start acting in good faith like a conservative. But I’m not holding my breath. Saying “he gets it” WRT immigration and then running in the opposite direction isn’t good enough.

Look, if you’re running to be President of Mexico, what better guy than Juan Hernandez to have around. Our Juan sure isn’t running to look out for our best interests, so there can be only one nation he looking to represent. He’s made that abundantly clear. More power to him. Just don’t do it from our nation Juan. Move to Mexico. Plant your ass where your loyalties are.
