Members of the cultural right have called Juan Hernandez a "border obliteration activist," an "American traitor," and an "agent of the Mexican government."So Ruben reads FR. Gee, who'd a thunk it.

I doubt it. More likely is that the Democrats, with the connivance of "moderate" Republicans like McCain, Graham, Snowe, Collins, etc. will pass "comprehensive immigration reform" (including voting citizenship status), by an easy margin. Obama will then sign it, and assure a Democrat congressional majority for an indefinite (but very long) period of time----if not indefinitely.
Why is their decision to crap on America acceptable because they believed they'd personally profit from voting for Obama OK?
Let’s see BHO preach immigration reform when unemployment is the highest it’s been in 30 years.
Right, let’s bring a bunch of new workers into an already tight economy.
Go for it, BHO, propose to import another 10 million or so. That is bound to be a really popular position with the electorate — especially with lower income types who came out in droves to vote for you.

I agree with your comments. McCain let the Republican Party down - but he has had a habit of doing that.
Yet, “for a brief shining moment,” after Sarah came on board the ticket was actually ahead in the polls. Then came September 15 and our Wall Street firecracker, Treasury Secretary Paulson, screams that the sky is falling. McCain, Bush, and part of the GOP agree - and Pelosi, Reid, and the Dims eagerly concur.
It was downhill after that.
People use the term Hispanic as though all Spanish speakers have the same political interests. Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, and Cubans are all different with different cultures. cuisines, and interests.
If Juan McLAME got BlackBarry’s 67% of the Taco vote and BlackBarry got Juan’s total-——BlackBarry still would have won. NEXT
Whoever wrote that seems to have forgotten that 1980 was a real bad economic time after Jimmy Carter. And 1984 was 'Morning in America' time. The Reagan Democrats voted for Reagan in both bad and good times.
btt
Had it not been for Palin, McCain not only would have lost the Hispanic vote, both legal and illegal, but also the majority of the conservative vote as well. She, and she, alone, saved him from the complete and total embarrassment at the polls that he and the Republican party truly deserved.
I don’t blame anyone who didn’t vote for McCain. People shouldn’t be expected to vote for one of the worst candidates we’ve ever seen just because it’s part of some flawed party plan.
Give it a few years, and you'll get a candidate who speaks fluent Spanish, and broken English as a second language, and most likely will in this country illegally. By that time, it won't even matter.
Post of the day.
And you know what? Everyone I talked to at county headquarters was there because of Sarah, and in spite of McCain.
Do you think there is a reason all the lieberal mouthpieces are calling Hannity, Rush and any show they can get on and saying they were thinking about voting for McCain until he picked Sarah Palin, then the voted for BaMao? They are freaking afraid of a real American woman!
I suspect that was true for a large percentage of hispanics.
Sarah has to prove that she can appeal to other voters outside of rural areas. Right now, she is seen as a better looking Minnie Pearl by most of the electorate. She can either change that image or whine about the media. Here’s hoping its the latter.

Not necessarily.
We held them off once before, and with the economy going in the tank immigration reform is not going to get any more popular. This issue does not resonate with the majority of voters, and with the economy going in the tank the issue will get even less popular with Hispanics.
Says who? The enemedia? Westmoreland (our county) isn't exactly rural. Much of the population considers us to be a suburb of Pittsburgh. We were once considered one of the three swing counties (Washington and Allegheny being the other two) of SW Pennsylvania. But after seeing Sarah hold BaMao to less than 42% of the vote here this year, we may not be considered a swing county anymore.
Let Sarah spend part of the next four years visiting other swing counties like ours and then see how she does. Real Americans really connect with her in retail politics in a way that I haven't seen since Ronald Reagan, a campaign I was also intimately involved with in 1976.
