ARLINGTON, VA — U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following statement on Cinco de Mayo as his campaign announced several new Spanish efforts:
“Cinco de Mayo commemorates an important moment in the history of Mexico’s path to freedom. On this day in 1862, a small group of Mexican troops overcame overwhelming force to win the Battle of Puebla. Today, we join together to remember the sacrifice that these Mexican patriots endured, as well as the struggles of all those around the world striving for freedom. We recognize as well the important friendship that exists between our country and Mexico, and celebrate the many contributions Mexican-Americans have made to our society, culture, security and economy.”
……Finally, as part of his commitment to talking with all Americans during this presidential campaign, the McCain presidential campaign announced that John McCain will attend the La Raza Annual Convention in San Diego on July 14, 2008.

Pandering to open borders advocates and illegal immigration pimps will not earn him respect with his Republican constituents. The problem with La Raza, is that in no way does it represent “the many contributions Mexican-Americans have made to our society, culture, security and economy”, blah…blah…blah. They are reconquista radicals who have stated emphatically, within our own borders, that their intention is to help as many south of the border illegals as possible, as well as “reclaim” the Southwestern part of the United States.
In February, during the GOP debate he said:
“I’ll rely on people to judge me by the company that I keep.”
The company he keeps includes:
Russ Feingold, Teddy Kennedy, Lindsay Grahamnesty, Juan “Mexico First/Free Flow” Hernandez, Jerry “Spanish first” Perenchio, Geraldo Rivera, La Raza, Charles Keating, John Kerry, The New York Times.
Not a very appealing list. It reads like a who’s who of nihilist moonbats and leftwingnuts.
The selection of presidential candidates for 2008 is really depressing and disappointing. On the one hand we’re faced with two corrupt socialists.
The Hildabeast, along with her husband, used the Oval Office as a conduit for mulitiple felonies; the most serious of which was treason with Chinese arms merchants.
Barack Hussein Obama has ties to radical organizations and individuals who engaged in terrorist acts. He also calls a foul-mouthed racist pastor a “freind and mentor”.
Both want to eviscerate the country and the military, kow tow to Islamic extremists, and leave us vulnerable to another attack on this soil.
And then there’s John McCain; a Republican Senator entrusted with the security of the United States, who doesn’t give a damn about our national sovereignty. He cavorts with radical individuals and organizations who work dilligently to prevent border security and accountability.
As a result, illegals pour in by the thousands to commit more felonies, soak up benefits they haven’t earned, put a strain on the health care system, and cost the American taxpayer billions of dollars.
Middle Eastern terrorists also take advantage by sneaking into our country, thus leaving us vulnerable to another attack on this soil.
Between McCain and the current crop of Democrat candidates, who the hell needs Al Qaeda?
The other night a friend of mine said to me (in response to me TRYING to explain why Obama is a person we should be very, very, very concerned about), “Well, obviously I’m going to vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is. That’s a given.” (Yes, I actually have a liberal friend–but just one!) I think her appalling attitude is par for the course when it comes to the Dems. They will rant and rave about how the Repubs are responsible for all the evils in the world and how life will not go on if the Repubs stay in power…but they will literally show a TOTAL disregard and a TOTAL lack of interest for hearing ANY truth about Obama. It’s just…it just makes me speechless. The liberals are going to vote this bastard in and they are going to do it SOLELY because he’s NOT Republican. He could eat babies in public and the libs would just say, “Well, he was probably hungry. A man’s gotta eat!”
