Cindy McCain’s Husband Confused Again

POOR JOHN MCCAIN. First he says he cares about migrants and their plight, and then he doesn’t. First he is for comprehensive and humane immigration reform…and then…I mean, really. Who the hell knows what he’s saying anymore. I smell the lust for power rolling off of him, and the stink is overpowering my ability to even listen to his empty words anymore.

I do think it’s sort of cute that now he’s taking out ads in Spanish to try and fool gente.

John McCain continues to pound Obama in Hispanic media, launching a new radio ad in Nevada that says McCain is a friend of Hispanics who “stood up” and “spoke out” during last year’s debate on comprehensive immigration reform while Barack Obama did little. The new Spanish-language radio commercial is paid for by the Republican National Committee and is somewhat less aggressive than a television commercial released Friday arguing that that Obama and Senate Democrats derailed last year’s attempts to reform the nation’s immigration laws.

 

Firstly, he’s not “pounding” much of anything. He’d break his damn wrist if he started trying to “pound” something. (Remember: he’s so fragile he can’t take being questioned on the way he exploits his POW status, let alone skin his own moose!)

But I just want to prompt Cindy McCain that next time she’s bringing her husband his plateful of morning meds, she may want to remind the ole boy that when given the chance to simply state his immigration positions in a tangible way, he opted not to.

Of the two  major campaigns, only one has responded by the deadline we established. Only one, so far, has given us answers to our questions. And only one has continually stalled before finally meeting our repeated phone calls by hanging up on us and disconnecting the line without so much as a “One moment.”

—McCain Won’t Even Feign Concern for Latino Community

 

Also, Cindy, since I know you pay for everything and most likely run everything over at tu casa and this is why I’m addressing you, that post I just linked? It is the most popular post on El Machete. By double the numbers of any other post. So people are reading it. And let me remind you (::cocks head::) that according to at least politicshome.com theunapologeticmexican.org is a place to be read.

The PoliticsHome Online 100 Panel consists of the 100 leading online voices in the United States. Each day until November 4th, the ‘Online100′ panel will answer 5 strategic questions anonymously and the results will be posted on PoliticsHome.  Find out how the blogosphere is calling the election on PoliticsHome.

The panel includes Arianna Huffington, Karl Rove, Joe Klein, Joe Trippi, Mike Allen, Mark Halperin, Mark Blumenthal, Dana Milbank, Jonah Goldberg, John Fund, Jake Tapper, Chuck Todd, Marc Ambinder and Andrew Sullivan.

 

I am a member of this panel, though not listed here. And I’m sure they invited me because of all the Latino issues blogs out there, UMX is pretty damn delicious, but getting that? “Latino blog.” 

Now let me connect another dot for you. The Sanctuary, a project I have been involved with since its very first day, is the group that sent you the survey, that called your campaign various times, that was hung up on by your campaign, that was interviewed by both radio and TV on this survey you ducked and dodged.

You hung up on us! You couldnt even give us the respect of sending boilerplate. You gave us instead, utter contempt.

To my mind, what is The Sanctuary’s primary focus? Human rights and true progressive values—the kind that aren’t reliant upon triangulation, Rovian doublespeak, centering Whiteness as a standard for all, or hemming and hawing in hopes of scoring goody bags. That is our overreaching agenda as I act upon it.

And under that? Specifically and relevantly?

Migrants. In fact, you can find us at http://www.promigrant.org, dig that. 

And Cindy, your husband’s campaign hung up on us.

The Sanctuary Group is not a few people living in their mother’s basement, fool. The people on this list and in this group include HARDcore activists very well-informed on policy, people willing at any moment to jump out in the fray for gente, well-known academics, well-read journalists, smart-as-hell techies, accomplished bloggers, lawyers, media makers, and so on. And we are either Latina/Latino or otherwise committed to the rights of human beings, which definitely includes migrants. 

John McCain claimed on TV, through a surrogate, that his campaign was so rude to us because we might be “like the Huffington Post.” Or something. Who knows. I know the Internets gets puzzling to him, stuff just gets blurry and weird. Mixed up. I guess I could remind him that Latinos and migrants are not, somehow, clustered on LGF or in the Right Wing? But I don’t wanna stuff his poor head too full of Things to Remember.

Anyway John, you want to burn up some more of your wife’s money on advertisements that throw out lies about yourself and your positions, but when it came to real life action, you were nowhere to be seen. Nowhere to be found. Hanging up on us.

My friends—or I should say—Mis Amigos, that is not change we can believe in. That is (yawn) yet one more rich white member of the old guard elite, using us for votes who can’t even mention the word “immigration” let alone “redadas” when he speaks. So he cares??? 

Vato! McCain! You are so full of shit it is not even funny.

Especially not funny when you consider who is suffering while you tell your lies.
