McCain Proposes La Raza Town Hall
TOWNHALL ^ | Monday, June 16, 2008 | Amanda Carpenter

Posted on 06/16/2008 1:33:00 PM PDT by Checkers

GOP presidential candidate John McCain is inviting his Democratic rival, Barack Obama, to participate in a joint town hall at an open-borders advocacy group’s upcoming meeting in California.

“There is a meeting in California of La Raza,” McCain told reporters at an Arlington press conference Monday. “Both of us have accepted invitations. I say that we have a town hall meeting together in front of La Raza. I think that the people will be far more informed and in some ways, entertained if we had that format.”

Oh they will like him as soon as he says don't worry I am NOT going to enforce the border. Once they realize he will continue to dissolve our Union they will like him. The fact that he will even entertain a bunch of illegal aliens really makes me question his judgment.

That picture is awesome!!

Amazing that someone who’s so “independant” and a “maverick” toes the liberal line regarding racist/anarchist groups like LaRaza.

ANWR is federal govt property. His positions on this have been consistent. We have plenty of oil off shore and on private lands in the western states. Where does he say he forbids states to drill on state land? Show me.

So you and McCain are going to allow individual States to hold this Nation hostage to their whims — can you say OPEC?

(Gee...) “If La Raza boos him”

I think the chances of that happening are about as good as the Oompa Loompas booing Willie Wonka.
Hold one hand cupped behind you and one in front of you, and wish—see which gets filled fastest.

If La Raza boos him, then I think that will strengthen him among conservative and independent voters.

You must be joking. McCain is a La Raza favorite and recipient of their awards. His buddy, Lindsey Graham, spoke before them a year ago and said that the "bigots should shut up," i.e., those who opposed the amnesty bill.

I’ll be writing in Ronald Reagan. I want the GOP to know exactly how many votes it lost by going the Hillary Clinton wing of the GOP.

Question, what happened to American politics after Jimmy Carter's monumentally flawed reign as president?

Ronald Reagan swept the election in a landslide victory to become president of the United States.

Maybe we need a ultra liberal in office to help Americans see just what the other side is “really like”.

Maybe, just maybe he'll be a one termer followed by a strong conservative. who knows.

Really distasteful votin for a chameleon.

"ANWR is federal govt property."

Ahhh, federal land, why that makes all the difference.

The Alaskans want to drill there but are being forbidden by congress.

McLame has been consistently liberal/green concerning oil and this phony move to the right isn't fooling anyone.

Alaska would like to open up ANWAR. What’s the problem with drilling in ANWAR?

I haven’t forgotten that McCain endorsed my “former” anti ANWR drilling RINO who also opposed exploration under the great lakes as well.

Saying he opposes the ban doesn’t hold much weight compared to his history of working to block stuff like that forever.

Because it is only off-shore that he is talking about. The off-shore oil is A) further out from the shore than normally a state would have a say over B) only off states that will not approve of it.

I will actually make the effort to watch that one on CSPAN or whatever. I’ve been told a good vomit purges the system.

“McCain co-sponsored a bill, which La Raza endorsed, critics said would award amnesty to illegal aliens with Democratic Sen. Teddy Kennedy (Mass.). The bill did not pass and McCain’s work to push it cause irreparable damage with many members of his GOP base.”

That’s cultural Marxism that the left/Democrats advocate.

McCain also took away our freedom of speech with his McCain-Feingold which he worked on with far leftist Soros groups to craft. More totalitarianism that restricts freedom of speech which is Marxism.

McCain also believes in global warming regulations and is for a horrible “cap and Trade” global warming bill that will cripple U.S. industry with high global warming taxes and crippling regulations on “emissions” etc. This is PURE socialism/Marxism and the most aggressive attempt by socialists to get the government to control the free U.S. economy and cripple the engine of the economy , free market Capitalism (private property).

These are just 3 examples that prove McCain is and always has been a moon bat liberal/Marxist. Anyone of these 3 examples could destroy the U.S. by turning it into a 3rd world socialist state. Who has done more damage to America and freedom than McCain? He says he is for national security? Then why does McCain want to leave the southern border wide open to all invaders including Muslim terrorists and wants to aid the illegal invasion by Mexico?

McCain also is against water boarding Muslim terrorists.

There are hundreds of other examples that show that McCain is a Marxist like Obama is and as much a threat to America and freedom as Obama is. We need to elect conservatives to the Senate and House to help Republicans and Republican Mitch McConnel stop whichever one of these socialists gets into the white house.

I wish McCain would select Tom Tancredo as VP and then I hope McCain resigns a few days after taking the oath of office. That and the GOP in the Senate are the only chances America has to stop Democrats and one of these morons( McCain or Obama) from destroying the economy and our country.

I challenge any McCainiac to debate me on these issues, McCain-Feingold, Amnesty for illegals, cap and trade, etc. if you dare.

Well, to be on the fair side, I guess I could wish that he was really setting up an elaborate ICE sting operation where the attendees would be taken into custody and deported, but I’m afraid my a$$hole is too full of McCain moonbeams with all of the other stuff he’s tried to cram up it lately.......
