Latins rebuild the houses while Blacks wait for handouts

To all Americans of Latin ancestory .The Democrats do not reflect or appreciate our love of this country nor do they respect our faith in God .I have seen the rebuilding along the Gulf coast in the wake of Hurricane Katrina .Rita , recently Ike in Texas and the majority of hard work including new building construction , clearing of fallen trees etc.have been the result of Latin workers.Any efforts by Blacks to contribute to rebuild their former homes is minimal,but they are complaining now that the Gulf coasts changing demography is not to their benefit.Why? Because the Latins who are doing the WORK like La.,and see opportunity for Families, Homes & Businesses& have a earned a considerable stake in the region.Obama is NO Friend of Latin Americans.The term "MENTIROSO" (LIAR) applies to OBAMA ,CHAVEZ & FIDEL!The Republicans positions are more in keeping with our core values.GOD,FAMILY &COUNTRY!

mc cain lied flat out to the face of the evangelicals, inside god's house. I wonder what would they say about that if they are so pious and holy.

It doesn't matter, McCain, after he just got finished lying and cheating within the house of GOD!! How dare he. He was asked flat out how his room of silence was, in which he replied "I was trying to hear through the walls"... Ha Ha funny man, to bad you weren't even in the building sitting comfortably in your motorcade listening to the whole darn thing!!!!! How dare he indeed.

moooohaaaaa

moooohaaaaaa!!!!

Dump McCain!!

John McCain is going to get steamrolled on November 4th by an empty suit (Obama), and there is really nothing that McCain can do to iron out the wrinkles in his own already “empty suit”.

I, being someone who will not "pick flies out of sh*t" in my choice for a presidential candidate, neither McCain nor Obama is qualified for our nations' most important job. McCain will have to choose a real dope for his running mate in order to prevent being overshadowed and having his lack of substance revealed.

The best thing that we can do is NOT nominate him at all and choose Ron Paul instead at the GOP convention in September!! Ron Paul is more than qualified, has a plan that will work and will lead our nation honorably. Ron Paul can raise the money, get people excited and has the best chance of beating Obama of all the other Republican candidates. The GOP would be foolish not to nominate Ron Paul! This will also explain why Ron Paul’s “ Rally for the Republic “ will most definitely overshadow John McCain’s presumptive nomination at the dull Republican National Convention down the street.

It's not too late to admit that McCain is a bad choice and to remedy the situation. If no one is excited about McCain now, they surely won't be two months from now. Get the geezer out now so we won't have a 1996 repeat of Bob Dole! McCain can't win if he doesn't have the support of the conservative base and nothing is going to change that, plain and simple! There will not be a last minute reprieve by disgruntled Republicans this time around to save him when most people are finally rejecting the worn-out lesser of two evils argument. If McCain remains as the nominee until November, he will destroy the Republican Party and run its members out to most likely join the Libertarian or Constitution Party, or simply drop out of the voting process all together. This wouldn't necessarily be a bad scenario as long as these people are not continuing to do the same thing that yields the same bad results. It’s time to “Dump McCain”!!

5 VOTING GROUPS???

I SAY THERE'S SIX groups, you left out the most powerfull group on Earth, and that's homosexuality.No Politition would dare say anything offensive about homosexual behavior,so homosexuals will get everything they want.

Obama

I don't care what people say against Mr.Obama. I am voting for him. I don't want another George Bush in the white house. Mr.McCain is the same shadow of Mr.Bush. If the rest of you are voting because Mr. Obama is not white ,fine do it.

Youth vote

The youth were never given a reason to vote before this election, save for one person. Bill Clinton did a good job of courting them (I turned 18 in 1992 and voted for Bill), and it looks like the youth again will be given a reason to vote. John Kerry was hardly inspirational. Al Gore suffered from the same boring persona.

I think its laughable that some pundits are wary of the youth turning out. They seem to forget that Obama won the primary largely because of them. The Millenials have already shown their political muscle. And that was only the dress rehearsal.
