John McCain to speak at Wetback Political Convention
Politics and Gamefowl [D.A. King] @ 9:02 pm [Email author] [Email This Article] [Print This Article]
The Mexican-American Political Association [MAPA] is having their convention next monthââ¬Â¦guess who is coming to speak?
Arizona Senator John McCain! Included in the list of the heavy hitters who will be co-hosting the event - The California Association Preservation of Gamefowl.
From the MAPA Website , some of the issues being discussed:
ââ¬ÅJoin us in addressing some of the most burning issues in California today - the attempts to privatize social security; proposals to reform our current immigration laws that could legalize millions of undocumented persons; driverââ¬â¢s licenses for immigrants and a discussion about the REAL ID ACT recently signed into law by President Bush; the prospects of healthcare for all and the California budget battle.ââ¬Â
There is more:
ââ¬ÅCalifornia and other states are witnessing a rapid rise of nasty anti-immigrant vigilantism by right-wing paramilitary vigilante organizations and individuals. ââ¬Å
Does anybody think McCain is going after the pro ââ¬Ågamefowlââ¬Â vote here?
Me neither.
[VDARE.COM NOTE: We looked up this ââ¬ÅGamefowlââ¬Â thing, and the Gamefowl in question are not Ducks Unlimited, but fighing cocks, cockfighting being a popular sport in Mexico, banned in most, (not all) of the US. Itââ¬â¢s making a resurgence, however, due to mass immigration from Mexico. So the Latino Lobby and the cockfighting lobby are likely to work together, which means McCain probably is appealing to the gallos de combate-fan vote.] 20 June 2005

His father and grandfather would doubtless disown his ass for crap like this. Glad I never bought that book.

McCains' relationship to America is similar to that of Benedict Arnold or "Tokoyo Rose."
My father theorizes that McCain is just too stupid to be a national political figure, and is largely unaware of what a vile scumbag he's acting like. My dad thinks that boxing coach would have been a better profession for him to pursue (my father loathes boxing, so that's about as low as it gets in his worldview). My dad and I seldom agree on politics (he's voted Democrat in every Presidential election from 1968-1996, except when he voted for leftist Barry Commoner in 1980; he voted for Bush in 2000 but now regrets it, he also regrets voting for Klinton, so he's coming along nicely, I suppose; he refused to vote in 2004, because he has no interest in 3rd party candidates anymore, and he regarded Bush and Kerry to be both unacceptable, so our views are starting to converge a bit, even if he has been known to yell at me when I say approving things of Hitler and the NSDAP, whom he regards as worse than the Soviets, albeit not by much).
Oh, and in case anyone's wondering, no, I don't still live at home; my wife and I have our own place. My father does happen to be my only blood relative here in San Jose, however, so we do speak a good deal.

McCain got a lot of mileage out of being a POW in Vietnam. Hopefully, people continue to learn about the real McCain.

McCain hit his peak once he was elected Senator of AZ. Nobody takes him seriously. The poor man is living on borrowed time as it is.

His dad and grandfather were old school, salt water in the veins Navy, he was a bit of a loose cannon. It has been argued that he was not expelled from the Naval Academy thanks to their influence.
His role in the Keating Five should have ended his career. Remember the Savings and Loan bailout?
A better man, James Stockdale, ran as VP for Perot. Trouble is, in Stockdale's case, he was too honest a man to be a politician.

A better man, [B][I]James Stockdale[/I][/B], ran as VP for Perot. Trouble is, in Stockdale's case, he was too honest a man to be a politician.[/QUOTE]Of all candidates for national office in the past 25 years I regarded James Stockdale as the most wise in making important decisions, most especially concerning wars. I wrote about him in my book. [QUOTE]Vice Admiral James Stockdale recalled McNamara's bragging about the United States developing the ability to go to war without arousing the public ire, and then he questioned why a country, especially one espousing democratic ideals, should want to commit the ultimate public endeavor of going to war without any shared sacrifice.[1] Stockdale, who to his sorrow was thrust into the national political spotlight when running with Ross Perot, revealed himself as a thoughtful man committed to a society which would honor courage and other qualities of manliness, but his political naivete would insure censure by the national press.
A humiliating example of how the prisoners of Vietnam have been treated was the joke Jackie Mason told on his television show. When referring to James Stockdale, who was then the running mate of Ross Perot, Mason said he had been in jail for two years during the 1960's. Because of deafness he did not hear his jailers tell him of his release and stayed an extra three years. This comment brought the desired sneering laugh from the New York audience.[2] That Stockdale had been shot down and then tortured by the North Vietnamese was of no concern to Mason or his kinfolk. The tenacity and courage which Stockdale displayed in his imprisonment brought him the Medal of Honor, another one of the relics of the once powerful WASP class which brings disdain. At the onset of the Gulf War in 1991 Jackie Mason, a rabbi, flew to Tel Aviv to be with the Israelis to show his solidarity with the Jews of Israel during the missile attacks.[3] Why Mason did not bother to show his solidarity with American troops who were under fire at the same time should be obvious. He could have personally counseled the very few Jews in American uniform.
The rules of present day America have been that Mason would be allowed his vicious jokes with no countering blast. One wonders if a James Stockdale, by himself, in the Warsaw ghetto could have inspired the Jews to a more spirited resistance so they did not die like sheep. Further reflection brought the thought that if the Jews of Warsaw were like Mason and his audience, a budding admiration for SS troops must be admitted. How Mason and his audience would have held up under Vietnamese torture or German police sweeps should bring a small sneer and a slight desire that they be tested. The supposition has been they would have behaved like cowards. Another joke by Mason was that if he had to choose between a situation comedy on television or a prison camp in Vietnam, he would opt for the prison camp in a second.[4] This has passed for macho talk among the Jews of New York. Hearing this childish swill on television for long can derange those who have nothing better to do than watch and learn from the tube.
Mr. Perot's worst offense was his dragging of James Stockdale into the race as his vice presidential candidate. The political arena was not for a man who had been tortured and displayed courage beyond what the average American could possibly envision. To see Stockdale become the object of scorn and derisive ridicule by snot-nosed comedians, particularly New York Jews, was excruciating.[/QUOTE]A great question is why candidates like James Stockdale are not highly regarded by Americans or political parties while secondrate sleazeballs such as Quayle, Clinton, Gore, Bush and Cheney raise no alarm. Methinks something there is something terribly wrong with American society.

I wish it were true. Unfortunately McInsane is enormously popular here in AZ. The press idolizes him, just as they do the ultra-illegal loving Gov. Napalitano. No amount of voting like a socialist and against the wishes of convervatives seems to make a dent, he just keeps whoring-a-long.

That's why he got humiliated in the 2000 primaries. If the press hadn't been so busy giving him fellatio, they'd have noted that he didn't actually have a chance.

Kevin, several weeks ago when I was visiting my dad at his place and he had CNN on with reports about the illegal alien onslaught, the debacle in Iraq and China's economic growth...you know all the "good news" so to say. My dad's an ex-Army guy, blue collar, conservative Christian, but he turns to me and says, "You know, I think those "skinhead white supremacist" guys are right about this country, I think they have a point". I was floored!! I said dad, let me tell you about some things.......
As for McCain, his campaign for President was annihilated by none other than George W Bush. Bush was, and is, dirtier than McCain will ever be.
