McCain Courting Hispanic Vote


John McCain


Presidential Republican candidate John McCain is actively courting the Hispanic vote. In an effort to reach Hispanics, Sen. McCain has launched a Spanish website. His soon to be predecessor, President Bush received 44% of the Hispanic vote in 2004.
McCain has stated that he believes that the tenor of the immigration debate has hurt the way Hispanics view the Republican party. McCain goes on saying " I believe the majority of Hispanics share our views that the border must be secure,...often, Hispanics are the first ones to lose their jobs to illegal immigration", " But they also wants us to have an attitude that this are God's children and they must be taken care of " McCain will attend a July National Council for La Raza, the largest national Hispanic civil rights organization which seeks to improve opportunities to Hispanics.
McCain who as a Senator represents a border state believes that he will do well among Hispanics " I know the people, I know the patriotism, I know the loyalty, I know the respect for life, respect for family, everything about the Hispanics is tailor made to the Republican party"
To this point of Hispanics being tailor to the Republican party I would like to address with Massachusetts Republicans. The Mass GOP has simply done a very poor job in reaching Massachusetts Hispanics. In effect the GOP has scratch them out of the political equation. Hispanics are naturally conservative and hard workers, with a deep emphasis on family and church. In the competitive labor market you see Walmart adding Hispanic products to their shelves. Sears and Lowes have Spanish in stores signs. So, what seems to be the latency of response in the Mass GOP in reaching the Hispanic vote?
Simply put, If the GOP does not tap into the Hispanic vote, it will continue to lose seat in the House and in local seats.
Massachusetts GOP wake up and smell the coffee !!!

Then why don't you run for office if you think the massgop (which is shit these past few decades) is out of touch with hispanics. Or are you afraid that perhaps it is YOU who are out of touch with hispanics....

ok I really think all of you voter need to look at something very important I was just looking over some Arizona labor laws and found something interesting. in a state with the majority of the work force being undocumented there seems to be a very big lack of state laws protecting the work force little things like no one needs to take a break and the employer can work you as many hours as they want, and they can fire you for anything they feel like very seriously in AZ there are NO laws protecting the employees other that what is mandated by federal law if this is McCain's view of people then what is he going to do as a president and a commander in chef with our solders. don't get me wrong I love Mr. McCain but this is inhumane.
