New McCain ad blames Obama and Democrats for death of immigration overhaul effort.
(CNN) John McCains campaign is running a Spanish language ad in battleground states that blames Barack Obama and Senate Democrats for the failure of attempts to overhaul the nations immigration laws even though the Republican nominee and his Democratic counterpart cast identical votes in the key Senate showdowns on that issue last year
Obama and his congressional allies say they are on the side of immigrants. But are they? asks the announcer in the 30-second spot, Which Side Are They On?
The press reports that their efforts were 'poison pills' that made immigration reform fail, he continues. The result: No guest worker program. No path to citizenship. No secure borders. No reform. Is that being on our side? Obama and his Congressional allies ready to block immigration reform, but not ready to lead.

Si, Mohamed Obama!
Crap. And things were going so well.
The title alone makes me laugh.
McCain is on to something. The May Day demonstrations organized by the Democratic-allied Service Employees union destroyed the image of the majority of immigrants who come to work, save, and educate their kids.
I'm voting Palin, and the other guy! LOL
Obama only wants his Muslim terrorist friends allowed in this country so they can join up with his domestic terrorist friends (e.g Ayers, Dohrn...) to blow stuff up.
Donde esta el autobus?
Now, this is bold...
this should sit well with forum members as an unpleasant dose of the policy-reality of McCain-elect.
bold? I guess you could call it that. It certainly takes some nerve.
This is the second phase of the news media attack on McCain.
They are now targeting the base.
I bet you see stories out the follow week from the newsmedia saying that McCain really didn’t want Palin, but Lieberman, or that Palin has a cousin sister-in-law’s son who is gay.
The only chance the bad guys have is to divide the base.
The stepford voters won’t bat an eye.
But McCain is the one who put out the ad. So if anybody is trying to divide the base, it would be McCain.
The brilliance of September will fade in October if the new ads are indicative of the coming message.
McCain can’t help himself and mainstream America does not trust him on this issue.
Don’t be an idiot. Your choice is McCain/Palin or Obama. Choose ye this day....
I’m the idiot? Am I the one putting out ads reminding people I’m soft on illegal immigration?
Well, good for them! (this time)
McCain better not overplay his hand with the base. The name McShamnesty didn’t come out of nowhere.
elect mccain/palin and stop this stuff after the election
I could have sworn I saw something here on FR that said that Bill Clinton told Obama to start talking about McCain and immigration in order to divide up the conservative base which would offset the Palin support and enthusiasm.
Does anyone else remember reading that?
