I understand what he’s up to - he knows if the GOP offends the Hispanics, an essentially socially conservative voting block, that the GOP will be headed for permanent-minority party status. It’s the same demographic reality that drives his immigration policy. Practically speaking however, it’s pandering of the worst kind, to a rotten, anti-American racist organization. This is a demonstration of political calculation over principle, it’s very unflattering, and personally I find it disgusting. McCain makes it nearly impossible to support him...only Obama can do that.
Hispanics vote for the Dems 60-40 or higher. The are not essentially conservative. The Dems are bringing them in thru immigration, legal and illegal, so that they can become the permanent majority party.
The Hispanic family is in poor condition with almost 50% of the children born out of wedlock [second to only the black rate of 68%] and teen pregnancy is by far the highest of any group. This myth of Hispanic conservatism is just a chimera to get the GOP to pander to Hispanics and support amnesty.

I don’t know what you’ve been drinking, but it must be used for cleaning engine parts. Hispanics are “an essentially conservative voting block?” Give me a break! Hispanics are just about the biggest socialists on the planet. Name me ONE hispanic-dominated country that is not socialist. Spain? Socialist. Any country in South America? Socialist. Any country in Central America? Socialist. Mexico? Socialist. Puerto Rico? A U.S. Territory that is hell-bent on socialism.
