SAN DIEGO -- Recently, I was on a Latino-themed radio show defending John McCain. The defendant was accused of abandoning comprehensive immigration reform, turning his back on Latino supporters, and associating with a bad crowd (read: Republicans). I didn't give an inch. I was the only person in the discussion who actually knew McCain -- from my stint 10 years ago as a reporter at a newspaper in Arizona -- and I could attest to the fact that the senator had always gone to bat for Latinos. At one point, another guest scolded me in frustration: "Look, it's not about John McCain. It's about the Republican Party!"

As I understand it, upwards of 78% of illegal immigrants are hispanic.
All the data shows McCain is faring poorly among Hispanics...even though he is one of the most liberal on illegal alieninsm...
After this election...the GOP needs to purge their party of the pro-illegal/anti-American element. You cant win elections pandering on a race-based issue...the Dems win on race, and the GOP loses potential real American voters in both parties.
This myth the California was lost by the GOP for being pro-American/anti-illegal is nonsense. The voters of CAL passed referndum limiting services to illegals...and it got tossed in court.
I will not waste my vote on McCain because of his support for illegal alienism. I will not vote for a candidate who values the rights of illegal aliens over the rights of American citizens
If you are weak and soft in dealing with illegals...refusing to send them back...and keeping pour US borders unsecure...HOW am I supposed to trust you in dealing with Islamic terrorists and national security??
Its time for the GOP to rid itself of its pro-illegal element
The vast majority of illegal immigrants are Hispanic; while illegals do come from every country on the globe, any effort to crack down on them will invariably affect Hispanics more than any other ethnic group. We can’t escape from these demographic realities, regardless of what political correctness might demand.
Believe what you want; you haven’t shown any documentation that proves he isn’t. To me O’Bomber will always be my “Little Arab-American.”
Well we are either going to fire-up some white nationalism or we have to teach our kids to not be punching bags for the loony left.
You can tell white jokes all day and not face serious resistance — this is racism just the same.
Many white people use the phrase “reverse racsim” as if racism only comes from white people. It’s insanity and not healthy for young whites — but I guess that’s the point, isn’t it?
I’ve said all along LATINOS WILL VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE (& party) THAT PROMISES TO GIVE THEM THE MOST.
Period.
“And I had to sit through a talk by a GOP hopeful (for local office) last year that was nothing but an attack on Hispanic immigrants.”
Care to give more details on this claim?
It seems we would have heard about this if it happened.
“We should stand for freedom. not any fears of racial persecution”
A noble idea and one which, in priciple, I agree with. However, the other side doesn’t see it that way. The probability of Racial Persecution (of Whites) is very real. In fact it’s been happening for years. What do you think “affirmative action” is?
But let Obama get “selected” and you won’t believe whats happens. The Racist Blacks will feel like they can get away with anything including bashing your head in.
Oh, and they won’t care about you’re “enlightened” opinions.
“Chinese immigrants (massive numbers of illegals, having every health problem known to God and man, not to mention organized crime)”
You are arguing against stereotypes, bigotry and racism, are you not?
“They read Free Republic and got grossed out by all the hatred expressed towards them here.”
TROLL
I haven’t seen it...can you dig-up some of this “hate” on FreeRepublic?
Thanks!
Wake up and smell the gasoline, white boy:
Barf. It's statements like that that make me think Juan needs to lose.
Then I regain my senses.
“”When asked, who/what are you?” How many white folks say with pride, “I am a white person”? Not many.”
Maybe because we’ve been subjected to 40 years of brainwashing?
