McCain making it EVEN harder to support him. Even for President.

McCain! WTF are you doing? Are you TRYING to lose the Conservative vote? Why do you have a traitor working for you? If he has dual citizenship and works for the benefit of ANOTHER country against ours, he is a TRAITOR.

Dr. Juan Hernandez, McCain Hispanic outreach director: “We must not only have a free flow of goods and services, but also start working for a free flow of people.”

In an interview on ABC News’s Nightline, Hernandez stated bluntly that he was betting that the Mexican American population in the United States –all generations– “will think Mexico first…”I want ‘em all to think Mexico first.”

In an MSNBC interview of Congressman Tancredo:
...he himself is a dual citizen born in Texas, university—teaching at the University of Texas and on the Vicente Fox cabinet. And he said, “I work with the community in the United States, the Mexican community because I don‘t want them essentially going native on us. We want them continually tied emotionally, linguistically, politically to Mexico, because then they‘ll continue to send money home.”

And I said to him, that does not sound like—you know, you‘re doing something that‘s actually the act of an unfriendly government.

TANCREDO: At the end he goes, “Congressman,” in an incredibly condescending way. He goes, “Congressman, it‘s not two countries; it‘s just a region.”

Here's An Example of REAL Torture and Oppression

In case anyone was wondering what REAL torture and political oppression looked like here it is:

A leading Zimbabwe opposition activist who was badly beaten during a bloody crackdown on dissent appealed for international help securing the release of 28 other critics of President Robert Mugabe still in police custody.
Five of the 28 are "in very bad state," barely able to move or eat, said Grace Kwinjeh, whose lawyers arranged for her to get treatment in South Africa, where she was hospitalized for five weeks.
"I really thank God that I'm lucky to be out here to be able to tell my story. But ... I can't tell my story without bringing to attention Zimbabweans who are being attacked every day," she told a news conference Wednesday at the U.N. Correspondents Association.
Kwinjeh was one of dozens of opposition figures, including main opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai, who were badly beaten by police after their arrest at a March 11 meeting that police said violated Mugabe's ban on political protest. The activists say it was only a prayer meeting.
Kwinjeh said she was still receiving treatment for injuries suffered from blows delivered with an iron bar.
The bruised and bloodied activists were released to the custody of their lawyers after an international outcry, but Kwinjeh said 28 have since been rearrested and again subjected to treatment she described as torture.
Mugabe's opponents blame the 83-year-old leader for repression, corruption, acute food shortages and inflation of 1,600 percent — the highest in the world. They have demanded the ouster of Mugabe, Zimbabwe's only ruler since independence from Britain in 1980.
At independence celebrations last week, Mugabe called the Movement for Democratic Change "shameless local puppets" in a conspiracy by Britain to remove him.

One item of special note is that the Open Society Institute which organized the news conference for the “opposition activist” is funded by none other than billionaire loony tune and prominent Bush-hater George Soros. Soros, who compared George W. Bush to Hitler, spent millions of dollars in a failed attempt to help unseat Bush in the 2004 presidential election.

So this activist defined “tortured” as being beaten with an ‘iron bar” requiring five weeks of recuperation in a hospital. All this for breaking Mugabe’s “ban on political protest” in a country he rules that has “repression, corruption, acute food shortages” and quadruple digit inflation.

No political opponents of George W. Bush has been taken into custody and beaten with an iron bar. While supporting this activist may be a humane thing, it also leads one to doubt the sanity of the left – especially Soros – when George W. Bush has done nothing even close to what conspiracy-touting dictator Robert Mugabe has done in Zimbabwe.
