McCain: “I support taking the unfortunate but necessary steps needed to keep the financial troubles at these two companies from further squeezing American families.”
Last month McCain made the promise to LaRaza that hispanic families would get a bail out. This is just the start. Everyone (repubs) are screaming about bailing out Fannie Mae, et al, McCain is for it, and now they praise him? I’ll never get it. I see he didn’t say anything about the millions that Fannie Mae gives to anti-American out fits like LaRaza, LuLac, Maldef, the rainbow coalition....
McCain: “La Raza runs one of the largest housing counseling programs in the country that has helped tens of thousands of Latinos become homeowners with secure mortgages. But millions of Americans have been hurt by the mortgage crisis and falling home values, and many in the Hispanic community have been especially hard hit. I want to help people who genuinely need assistance in these tough times, not speculators and lenders who contributed to this mess and didn’t follow the basics of good business practice. I am committed to making sure families who want to hold onto their home have a chance to do so. My HOME plan allows families who need help to apply — either at their local Post Office or online — for a new, guaranteed, fixed-rate, 30-year mortgage that will allow them to remain in their home, and raise their family with dignity............... One of my proudest achievements as a politician is to have won 75 percent of the Hispanic vote in Arizona in my last re-election. I believe I’m the only member of the Senate to have twice won your Congressional Leadership Award, a distinction I am also very proud of.....As a private citizen or as your President, I will never, never do anything to dishonor our obligations to them and their families or to forget what they and their ancestors have done to make this country the beautiful, bountiful, blessed place we love.
Gag me AuntB, I wish McCain felt the same way about his fellow American citizens.
This is a really shameful election. Obama and McCain are shameful.
