John McCain is at serious risk of alienating the conservative base of the Republican Party if he has not already done so.
Both John McCain and Barrack Obama pitched comprehensive immigration reform to the "League of United Latin American Citizens"
Might I inquire as to which Latin American country they are campaigning for President of?
According to the Associated Press: It's a poignant message for the audience, an organization that advocates social and economic policies benefiting Hispanics.
What ever happened to social and economic policies benefiting Americans?
Both candidates are also slated to address the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) later this month.
NCLR unabashedly defends its contributions to a chapter of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (MEChA) stating that while they 'disavow' their separatist rhetoric, they will continue to support programs that help Hispanics enter and finish college. Check out both websites:
http://www.nclr.org/section/separatist/
http://www.nationalmecha.org/about.html
Do tell me, precisely what does "MEChA was founded on the principles of self-determination for the liberation of our people" mean in the context of Hispanics in America?
How about: "the affirmation that we are Indigenous people to this land by placing our movement in Aztlan, the homeland of all peoples from Anahuak."
Google "Aztlan" if you really want a shock!!!
NCLR's statement is the equivalent of a German-American organization vowing to continue to support a chapter of the Nazi party, despite their political philosophy, because they help German-Americans enter and finish college.
I'm having trouble figuring out which candidate is the far-left liberal candidate! If Barack Obama continues to move towards the center and John McCain towards the left, we might eventually have to swap candidates between the parties.
JOHN McCAIN WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I urge all readers, Democrat or Republican, to voice your opinions on this issue to their respective candidate. I for one, as an American, in vehement disagreement with the philosophy of NCLR and MEChA, am appalled at this shameless pandering for votes.
I am beginning to wonder if (hope?) a viable independent candidate will emerge.
Alan Keyes is even beginning to look viable. http://www.alankeyes.com

Politics is not about leadership, it's about pandering to as many people as you can.
These Hispanic groups are just following that great American tradition of victimhood politics...
That their very premise is ridiculous has not hindered these movements at all: The US should give the southwest back to Mexico so it can be turned into a third-world armpit? If Mexico is so great, why have so many of its citizens chosen to live here?
