McCain losing big with Latinos
And now, on the lighter side of the news -- a little piece we could call, "Hispandering doesn't pay."
John McCain is winning a paltry 23 percent of the Hispanic vote compared with 66 percent for Barack Obama, according to a large poll released Thursday by the Pew Hispanic Center. ...
That difference — from Hispanics breaking 2-to-1 for Democrats to nearly 3-to-1 today — is enough to send shockwaves through GOP circles. Republicans had hoped that McCain’s politically risky support for immigration reform, which infuriated many conservatives, would offer a unique opportunity to bring Hispanic voters back to the party fold.
It's hard to know what to say or do at times like this -- so here's the world's smallest violin playing "Dixie" in anticipation of the night McCain loses because he betrayed his political base and his nation.
Ok, I'll make one helpful suggestion to McCain: how about staking out a new position that actually represents what the majority wants, including enforcing border security, prosecuting those who hire illegal immigrants, and deporting the invaders?

Mike,
You are hysterical. It seems Pat Buchanan was right.
Poetic justice.

I don't think that any of us in or around the League of the South would trust McCain even if, now, he started appealing to the silent majority. Deo Vindice
How long until McCain grovels and apologises abjectly because he hasn't pandered sufficiently? A minority vote is so much more noble and worthwhile than a white person's vote afterall.
How is it that illegals can vote?
How is it that I should be concerned that a presidential 'hopeful' wants an illegal vote..??
Yeah..Mike, I'd play Dixie with a
rubber band and a cigar box, walking through the barrio.. if Johnny would come marching home with a low dollar Operation Wetback.
We are being sold a subtle bill of crap that denounces reason faster than a beer can kisses an airboat fan.
We ...hell, Me and a couple hundred
rednecks with bulldogs and shotguns
could seal that border in a few weeks- maybe days.
brad c,
Of course Buchanan was right. But apparently, while it's noble and only natural to represent the interests of all other ethnic groups and races, it's eeeevil to even acknowledge that whites have interests.
dixie forever,
You're probably right -- and he'd deserve it, too.
haroldc,
That's the implied message here, isn't it? Things are just getting too weird these days.
Hey, I have a bulldog! But he doesn't want to handle border patrol. His only border is our farm.
I have it on good authority that rednecks are noble creatures. They shouldn't have to be the designated border patrol anymore than they should have to clean up the political arena.
owen,
Of course! Just like if Bush & Co. REALLY wanted bin Laden, all they'd have to do is round up a few hundred deer hunters from the South, ship 'em to Afghanistan, and tell 'em it's open season on terrorists.
