Hispanic leaders: McCain losing clout among Latinos
KTAR FM 92.3 News Talk Phoenix, AZ ^ | 2008-09-30 | Jim Cross & Kevin Tripp

A small group of Hispanic leaders in Arizona who are supporting Democrat Barack Obama say Republican John McCain won't enjoy the same strong support among Latinos in his home state as he has in past elections.

Group member Mary Rose Wilcox said McCain's strength among Latinos has dwindled. That's primarily because he de-emphasized his support for a path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants and now says border security is the first immigration priority.

Wilcox, a Democrat and Maricopa County supervisor, said Hispanics view McCain's change in position as a betrayal.

If it is so obvious then you should have no problem proving it.

That’s all this illegal immigrant advocacy is all about anyway, partisan politics. This guy is first last and always a leftist socialist Democrat before anything else.

Obama is his god this year, hence “McCain is going to lose the Hispanic vote... yada yada yada.” “Hispanics are unhappy with McCain this go round... yada yada yada.”

B.S.

He did that? I wish.

So why are they blaming McCain? They should be looking directly at their candidate and his democratic cronies.

“Can they legally vote? Keyword is legally.”
“Not in Arizona, our new law requires U.S. valid ID to vote.”

That’s great. My question is how easy/difficult is it to get a fake AZ ID? Thanks!

Why is Bush for the bailout? Follow the illegal mortgage trail. Cheap labor, a continuous supply of derivative speculation, and housing bubble all in one package. Real-estate WELFARE.

If I had need to impress you I might try.

But I don't, so you can take my comment or leave it.

Not this Hispanic. Although I’ll admit it’s because of Sarah. Then again, I would support him because I can’t stand socialist scum.

Did I not repay that credit card to get a low FICO score or was that you, Mr. Subprime?
