The two presidential candidates will discuss matters of interest for the latin american community in this country.
The Angeles.- The two main presidential candidates, Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama, will be the guests of honor at the third Latin American National Congress, that will be carried out on July 18 and 19 in Los Angeles.
The organizers confirmed the participation of the two politicians in the event, that will be performed in an exclusive hotel in Downtown Los Angeles, where it is expected that more than 300 organizations of 20 cities will attend.
On the first day, McCain will be presented during lunch and Obama at dinner. The two virtual presidential candidates will discuss matters of interest for the latin american community in this country.
In the First National Latin American Congress of 2006, 70 resolutions on diverse issues were taken and 260 local and national organizations assisted, in 2007 300 cities attended and 98 resolutions were adopted.
Among the issues undertaken during both congresses were educational reform, migration, public health, urban development and foreign policy, among others.
The organizers advanced that they prepare an ambitious agenda to promote the registration of millions of latin Americans as new voters in order to continue growing like a political force that can influence the elections next November.
The leader of Latin-American Mexican Brotherhood and the Mexican-American Political Association (MAPA), Nativo López, indicated that the young voters can make the difference in the electoral mobilization.
'In this electoral year we should move and act as a united family and no one is left behind', indicated López, who considered that another of the issues that will be emphasized in the debate will be driver's licenses for ILLEGAL aliens.

So do I; So do I
I don’t know. Don’t read Spanish.
“I am really trying hard to lie to myself enough to vote vote Juan.....”
You shouldn’t show your stupidity so blatently!
Juan McCain ping!
FGS- just as he gets a clue about drilling- look at this!
Just making sure you found this thread.
Pah... lease: You FReepers just keep it up and you just might make Juan drop out of the race!! Where would you be then?!?
OK, so tell me, what’s the punchline? You now have us hanging with the first part of the joke.
Who thinks they will pick McShame over Obama? A known Marxist. But then, there never was a vote that ol’ John would not roll over and beg for. It will be interesting to see what kind of coverage this gets.
“They’re not even shy about it anymore.”
Why should they be? They’ve won. Our leadership has surrendered to the third-world “hate America” and “hate whitey” crowd. My God, I have nothing but contempt for our leadership. My beloved America has been sold down the river.
It needs to happen quickly.
McLame doesn’t care what you think. He doesn’t care what any of the voters think. He believes he’ll be appointed, regardless of what we want.

Please, please allow me to lie to myself....I can think of no other way to stop the (slightly) worse nightmare of President Obama......I am trying so hard to be like those McCainiacs....I am down to only three bouts of nausea a day when thinking about voting for him and the thoughts of opening a vein only come in nightmares nowadays and thank God because those wake me up from the night sweats.
Okay, MacCainiacs, start spinnning...
.......NOW!
“There is a good chance that McCain will not seek reelection in 2012....”
Wow! You are assuming a great deal here. First and foremost, you are assuming Juan McCastro will defeat The Magic Mulatto in November. I think the race is the Magic Mulatto’s to lose. You have no idea how many moonbats there are out there, and they are all in lockstep with the marxist Obambi. I’m in my late fifties, and I’ve never seen my America so close to going down the shitter. We are sooooooo screwed. Guess I’ll end up as a spot of grease along with the other patriots who will not go gently into that good night, but will fight to the end to keep our beloved America from becoming the third-world toilet the Dims have been working toward.
While I share your sentiments about drilling for oil, if a trustworthy candidate had said that, I would believe him. But, Mac has more lies than Carter has pills, he's made a history of betrayal and if you want to know how someone will behave in the future, study his past.
IOW, find yourself a good third party candidate. The Presidency is lost no matter who gets in. We might at least salvage the future by sending the GOP a message by not rubber-stamping their boy.
What a shame the Conservative vote was so terribly split. This is the one and only reason McBoob sneaked in under the radar. Had the base known this was likely to happen, they would have galvanized sooner around one of the Conservatives.
Strange election year indeed. And who knows, even if every available Conservative and Republican did go to the polls, would that be enough? That is the real question. I have my doubts.
I suppose he might say something that won’t make me want to stick needles in my eyes :(
And we can start taking it back as early as 2010. The economy and state of the Union should be a real blunt trauma case by then.
Outstanding find. This must be made public.
