McCain Launches Spanish Web Site, Will Speak To La Raza
It's Cinco de Mayo, and John McCain's campaign has chosen the Mexican holiday to launch a Spanish-language version of its Web site.
The site features a Spanish-language ad for McCain and trumpets the phrase "Estamos Unidos Con McCain" – which translates to "We Are United With McCain."
As USA Today notes, McCain was asked today if Republicans will be damaged in November by the hard line many in the party took on immigration. McCain himself took a more moderate position in line with President Bush.
"The tenor of the debate has harmed our image among Hispanics," McCain acknowledged. The McCain campaign also released a statement today commemorating Cinco de Mayo and stating that "we join together to remember the sacrifice that these Mexican patriots [at the the Battle of Puebla] endured."
In related news, McCain announced today that he will address La Raza, a liberal-leaning Latino group, in July. Politico's Jonathan Martin suggests that McCain is "trying to show that he's not George W. Bush by going into the lion's den and taking hostile, unscripted questions from adversarial groups." The McCain campaign says the candidate is scheduling the stop "as part of his commitment to talking with all Americans."

What an absolute bunch of garbage. "Bush''s Brain," Karl Rove, addressed La Raza and Bush has been pro illegal alien since being governor of Texas. McCain and Bush are one and the same.
Shouldn%u2019t our leader be proficient in more then one language?
French, German, Dutch, Norwegian?
America is comprised of many different cultures and languages from these cultures are spoken in various parts of the country. It would make sense that our President should be a proficient linguist.
Senor Bush utilize el Idioma espanol television para prometer la moral religiosa conservadora pero, no hizo nada para las personas hispanas. Senor McCain hace lo mismo.
If I had the money I would have held him on charges of Treason when he joined Kennedy in trying to pass the amnesty bills.
If he wins the American Tradition of having a quality life is over.
Clinton is no better.
Obama is abominable mistake.
Tancredo was our best candidate.
Ron Paul is OK - and definaty the best chance we have at a quality life.
Congress & Senate members - Please come out from under the table and wipe your mouths off. The whole scenario is wicked.

- Another reason to vote for ANYONE who is NOT running. ALL of the present choices want to reward ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS with amnesty for breaking OUR laws and INVADING out country. These PARASITES need to be DEPORTED. If we can get OUR elected officials to SUPPORT Americans instead of ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS maybe we have a chance. If we can get them to enact STRICT ENFORCEMENT and start imposing HUGE fines for violators the ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS will self-deport. If the businesses and individuals who hire, house, provide medical assistance or otherwise support ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS were to face fines starting at $250,000.00 per ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADER theyhelp, and increase the fine to $500,000.00 for a repeat offender and increase the fines to $1,000,000.00 for a third offense and add 1 year for each ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADER helped, and make the prison time retro-active to the FIRST offense people would QUIT SUPPORTING these ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS. When they were no longer able to get a job, medical care or a house to live in the ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS would quickly SELF-DEPORT.
