You keep making threads that cause hysteria....frankly...it is time to grow up.... We need states like Colorado and if she had said no, it would have further encouraged the Hispanic vote for Obama.

This is a close election and we are drawing about 1/2 the hispanic vote of 2004 and we need every vote to offset the fraud from ACORN!!!!!! We cannot afford to alienate or energize pro-amnesty Hispanics against the Republicans this year, especially since Obama stated the other day he is going to move to legalize them immediately.... the same thing Kerry said at the end of the election in New Mexico back in 2004!

McCain has to neutralize the immigration issue in order to get more Hispanics to vote for him; many Hispanics tend to be religious conservatives and that is the group we need to vote for McCain over Obama... Obama had trouble with Hispanics in the primaries, we need him to have trouble in the general election. We'll take up the issue in mass AFTER the election when we will at least have a president who might listen to us vs Obama who is going to do more things we don't like than amnesty.

Frankly, people need to get their heads out of their rears and look at the big picture instead of our own little world... that is unless you WANT Obama to win???? and trust me, there is a growing body of evidence that the real disaster would be a President Obama..

One more thing.....Hispanics are self-deporting in large numbers because of the housing melt-down and lack of work up here. Frankly it is cheaper for them to live in Mexico than most areas of the USA and one reason for the housing meltdown has been Hispanics walking away from houses and returning to Mexico.... states like Arizona, Oklahoma, etc., have cut off all the freebies to non-citizens at the ballot box (unlike California that continues to let them feed off the public tit).... Yes, immigration is an issue, but when the economy turns around and they start to return, we will be much better off with President McCain than President Obama in dealing with them...

McCain's desire for amnesty has been going on for years. It's getting a spotlight because he's the GOP candidate, but his love of amnesty has been well known around FR for a long time. This isn't some kind of election year politics.

Besides, why should the GOP pander to particular race or ethnicity or culture? A good platform should appeal to anybody.

Obama had trouble with Hispanics in the primaries,

That was because of Hillary. Now that she's out of the race the majority of liberals have fallen in line behind Obama.

I don't know why you think McCain will listen to us - House Republicans told him what they thought of his amnesty bill, and he is still pushing it and still quite proud of it.

Nobody here wants Obama to win. The real issue is this: What have we won if we end up with amnesty like McCain wants, and millions of new Democrat voters are added to the rolls, insuring that the GOP is finished?

It's unfortunate that many didn't care this much six months ago. This is a conversation we should have had long before now - we might not be stuck voting for McCain/Palin if there hadn't been a broader discussion of this back during the GOP primaries.
