These people are entertaining if nothing else, in a 1950s Sci-Fi flick kind of way. :P

McCain accused of 'Hispandering'

An English language advocate says GOP presidential candidate John McCain is completely wasting his time catering to the Hispanic vote because it makes him appear to be "two-faced."

Recently Senator McCain (R-Arizona) appeared at a town hall meeting in Orlando where he promised those in attendance immigration reform as president, including a guest worker program for those in the country illegally.

But Jim Boulet, executive director of English First, says this is the same issue the American public has consistently rejected -- and one which McCain has not pushed while campaigning to other groups.

"It led McCain to appear to be two-faced," Boulet comments. "And goodness knows if you're going to run as a reform candidate, you need to at least let your yea be yea and your nay be nay."

According to Boulet, past election results indicate that when Republicans pander to Hispanics it simply does not work.

"Remember all the 'Hispandering' that George Bush did in 2000 -- campaigning in Spanish, denouncing official English?" he asks. "Well, 64 (percent) of the Hispanic vote went to Al Gore. Not only is this Hispandering annoying to the rest of the electorate, it doesn't work."

Boulet says while Senator Barack Obama (D-Illinois) is no better than McCain on this issue, he clearly stands to be the beneficiary of such political maneuvering.

3. I have NEVER met an English-only proponent that speaks another language.

Maybe they are just ashamed that a lawn care worker or janitor is smarter than them...

(FTR, I speak two languages and I'm studying up on a third. My kids all speak 3 to 4 languages.)

4. This is going to get a lot uglier

What these English-Only no-necks fail to see is that the Republicans are against them because Immigration, regardless of its legality, is good for business. The Democrats are against them because we value people.

I strongly urge all of these No-necks to show your displeasure by staying home next Election Day..........Might as well because nobody with any access to Power gives a Shit what you think.
