Associated Press reports the results of a national survey, conducted by the nonpartisan Pew Hispanic Center, showing that 66 percent of Hispanic registered voters support Democrat Barack Obama, compared to 23 percent for Republican John McCain. The other 11 percent were undecided.
Obama’s big lead among Hispanic voters includes support from the vast majority of those who had voted for rival Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic primaries.
Obama is even leading in fundraising in Arizona.
So this is what McCain threw Conservative Republicans under the bus for?

That trip to LaRaza did him a lot of good, eh?

Those Hispanics carrying the “We love you John McCain” signs last year in front of his office complex must have been lying to him the same way he was lying to us when he said he gets it now……enforce the border first. The man is congenital.

I happen to believe there is nothing any conservative could do to get his attention. He surrounds himself with so-called “moderates,” who are really Dems in not-so-good disguise. A good number of his supporters have ended up working for Napolitano or Gordon.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy! He and his Hispanic Outreach Director, Juan Hernandez, put the concerns of illegals over those of American citizens. This is his appropriate payback. If his buddy Jon Kyl runs again–which I doubt, after his big lie to get reelected in his last desperate race against Jim Pederson, I will also forget him, just as he has forgotten the rest of us. All any of them actually care about is the next election. Other than that, they are devoid of values.

I heard McAmnesty. I learned. And I got it now…Destroy the Republican platform FIRST. Then throw open the doors of the White House to our new democrat administration. Wonder if juan mccain has asked obama for the VP slot yet?

What a shame that John McCain is more intent on pandering to Hispanic votes that are not coming his way, than he is to addressing those in his own party.
Although Hispanics should be in the Republican camp since they are family oriented, usually faith-based and industrious, they vote in the manner of many newcomers to this country. The liberals have convinced them that America can afford to provide them with basic needs, such as health care, education and various assistance programs. When the bottom drops out, as it is bound to do, we will be on par with the country they abandoned.

I’ve never been to this site before today so I don’t know the way most posters on this site are leaning (I can guess though) toward voting for in Nov.
But here are my thoughts on BHO & JM.
I will NOT be voting for either (nor Nader esp since his VP mate, Matt Gonzalez, attended & supported pro-invader rallies & has received at least one award from La Raza). I just can’t get myself to vote for the ‘lesser of 2 evils’ (or 3 evils) this time.
IMO, BOTH BHO & JM are pro-invader & I refuse to add my vote for it.
I’d NEVER vote for BHO under ANY circumstances.
The ONLY way I’d vote for JM is if he’d pick Tancredo but we know that’s NOT going to happen.
