McCain Warns GOP: Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado Could Be ‘Up For Grabs’ In 2012

video
» 117 comments

On CNN’s State of the Union today, Candy Crowley asked Senator John McCain if the Republican party should be worried about courting Hispanic voters in places like his home state of Arizona heading into next year’s presidential election, particularly given the anti-immigration sentiments of many of the candidates. McCain explained the policy of the United States should be “humane” when it comes to dealing with such matters, a word that got Newt Gingrich in hot water with conservatives when he used it about immigration several weeks ago.

McCain suggested that the Latino vote might not necessarily go for Obama because of voter frustration and a whole list of other factors, but did acknowledge it has the potential to go the other way. However, the former presidential candidate was quick to suggest that many American Hispanics do support closing and securing the U.S.-Mexico border, citing drug trafficking as one of the biggest problems in the region.

Crowley pressed McCain on whether Obama could win Arizona, and McCain conceded his former rival has a shot in not just his state, but in other states along the Southern border.

“I think it can be up for grabs. I think that’s true of New Mexico, Colorado, Texas even, although maybe not this time, but the demographics are clear… the Hispanic vote will play a major part in national elections.”

    McCain is possibly right, because there is no logical reason why any Latino would ever vote for a Republican!!

    Let’s face it! This gaggle of TEA-GOP-Republican candidates are stepping on each other’s feet trying to outpace the other at the expense of the TEA-GOP-Republican position with immigrants. He called Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado, but left out Texas. Why? Every state on the border with Mexico has a track to going for president Obama since the TEA-GOP-Republican party has turned their backs on immigrants, legal or other wise. Texas has had the federal courts step into the redistricting fiasco by the one party Texas Legislature and Rick Perry. This group of Socio-Politio-Economic group will have a huge influence in 2012 and the future. Reports say sixty percent(60%) have been here more than ten years. Their roots are deep and their base families born into US citizenship is a holding vise on those here illegally.

    “A politician thinks of the next election;a statesman of the next generation.” – James Clarke.

    McCain is fine with the future of this country being in the hands of people who fill 1/3 of our federal pens, cost us billions every year in the welfare state, suppress wages for the working class and throughout history have contributed little of note to the liberal arts. If we dont stop the invasion of low skilled, low IQ illegal vermin from south of the border, this countries future will look like modern day California, only worse.

    Anyone who checks in regularly at Daily Kos or PPP has known this for a while. The demographics in the western states have reached some critical point. Colorado is already an Obama state, and Arizona is becoming one. Hell, even Minnesota is becoming quite noticeably Hispanic in certain areas – including Bachmann’s District! This is going to work out well for Obama, but in the longer run the Hispanic vote is actually traditionally conservative on a lot of fronts, so it’s a mixed bag for future Dem presidential candidates.

    Right, but NM is still pretty fluid. Obama would much rather gain AZ anyway, and I think he probably will. Colorado, as you say, has been his for a while already and that’s not about to change in this coming election.

    I met John McCain. He is a crusty, old, mean, nasty creep. Just like his daughter. I voted for him in 2008 – one hand voting, one holding my nose – but I voted more for Sarah Palin than for McCain.

    I wish John McCain would go away. He is a faux Republican. We need him like we need three more Obamas.

    This is why the Republican Party ticks me off. It is filled with doofuses like McCain and his wife and daughter who wreck our party. The Democrats have people like this in their midst, but they ignore them; they don’t elect them to the US Senate.

    “Colorado is already an Obama state, and Arizona is becoming one.”

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but if Colorado is to go Dem in 2012 Obama will have to fight for it. They just had a vote to raise taxes on the “rich,” and it failed 2-to-1. That is standard liberal boilerplate – and it lost big.

    Arizona is another story. I have family there – liberal, liberal family. The entire state is run by the GOP, and the only Dems who hold seats are Gabrielle Giffords and Raul Grijalva, and they are placed in very, very liberal districts.

    The anger over Obama suing Arizona is so strong in Arizona you could cut it with a knife.

    I will lay a bet right now that Obama doesn’t come within 10 points of winning Arizona. And my true bet is that it won’t even be that close in the end. Perhaps 57-43 GOP.

    Now, if you can show me where “demographics” are helping Dems, or for that matter Obama, anywhere, let me know, and then show me.

    If
    John is right, it is probably because people are finally waking up to the fact
    that republicans are not really conservative and their definition of
    conservative is not even conservative. In the twisted skewed world of GOP land,
    the term conservative has a dichotomous definition in order to be in alignment
    with the 2 camps of the GOP. The first camp is the country club republicans who
    actually own the republican party. To these folks, the term conservative only
    means screw over the middle class and funnel the proceeds to the rich wealthy elitists
    who own the GOP. Then there is the sunday school republicans. To these folks,
    conservatism really means, clinging to stupidity, yearn for that old time
    religion, a commitment to personal stupidity and ignorance and being very slow
    to understand. These are the GOP’s convenient idiots who love being stabbed in
    the back by GOP policies and they faithfully vote republican no matter who the
    pathetic waste of skin is that is running for office.  When you add all this up, none of that has
    anything to do with true conservatism but then again….neither do the lives and
    actions of republican voters or politicians. 
    Perhaps voters are finally waking up to this truth and choosing to vote
    reality and that is probably why these states may be up for grabs.

    California—the Sanctuary state, that is suffering terribly from
    the millions of foreign nationals that have illegally settled there. As if they
    don’t have enough problems with a senile old Democrat (Liberal) Governor Jerry
    Brown and a wilting state treasury deficit of $8.5 billion dollars, the good
    legal population must now suffer under Democrat Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, is
    helping to lead a measure, called the ‘California Opportunity and Prosperity
    Act.’ It would allow if passed 1 million illegal aliens or more to reside and
    work openly in the state with little dread of deportation under a scheme
    unveiled Friday by a state legislator and others.

     

    Fuentes explained this measure as a “moderate,
    common-sense approach” necessitated by the federal government’s inability
    to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

     

     

    America has already seen the devastation of what cheap labor
    has done to the working class, the blue collar jobs, the low income US workers,
    since the outcome of the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli bill. Millions more of American
    workers are without jobs, because of no enforcement at the business level
    before President Obama—whose great enforcement work has dropped off,  mainly because of the ‘usual suspects’ in the
    corporate world, special interests and  penetrated
    by radical ethic majorities. As the Liberal press holds back the truth, the
    illegal alien workforce is still stealing jobs, committing heinous crimes and
    perhaps the abhorrent bloody mayhem on the highways of this country.

     

     

    Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, a Republican,
    exploded against the proposal as a s a way to undermine the central governments
    immigration policies. He envisaged it wouldn’t have a “snowball’s chance
    in hell” of winning voter endorsement. Donnelly added, “There’s a
    proper process for coming to this country,” saying of illegal nationals
    “Why you don’t respect that?” Illegal Immigration is not about any person’s
    place of origin—it doesn’t matter, although the Liberal newspapers and e-media
    use their influence to make it seem that way—it’s not? For the illegal alien
    invaders affect us all. It causes massive financial problems for the taxpayers,
    which hard-coated legislators stay indifferent. If you hold a authentic green
    card, a naturalization document or you are a birthright citizen, the reality is
    you are a here to become an American. 
    The Liberal progressives are slowly turning to a socialist (labor) society,
    which has already corrupted Europe to the detriment of its indigenous people
    with mass immigration?

     

    Supposedly the proposal would outline
    the following criteria that the person had settled in California for four
    years, have no criminal convictions; not being a terrorist, and as most pro-illegal
    migrant and immigrant politicians who have sided with the Liberal progressive
    and extremist philosophy of ever increasing government, more taxes to pay for
    welfare support for the 20 million plus, who arrived by plane and stayed,
    jumped ship or slipped past the U.S. Border Patrol; and at least another
    half-million enter this country each year.

     

    Arizona, Alabama, Georgia, South
    Carolina, Utah, Indiana are all weighted down with the foreign nationals that
    have arrived there, but have facilitated their own laws in reduce the numbers
    and the unfunded mandates of education, health care and a crowded prison
    system.

     

     

    This is why we must succeed in passing
    the ‘Legal Workforce Act’ or known to Americans as Mandatory E-Verify law.
    Obama’s presidential orders have been creeping in, which are not following the
    law and even allowing illegal aliens to remain here. E-Verify will produce the
    opposite effect, which unlawful aliens will begin to leave as jobs will become
    less available. Right now E-Verify is just voluntary program, but with a
    growing number of sponsoring policy makers joining Lamar Smith’s H.R.2885, the
    chances are ‘The Legal Workforce Act’ could reach the house floor for that bill
    to pass.  E-Verify and its passage to
    Congress is well documented on NumbersUSA internet site and information about
    the negative side if it doesn’t reach the house floor. Already out of the
    required 100 needed co-sponsors, only 33 are needed to compliment the law. It’s
    the Public assistance and taxpayer voters, who are contacting their
    Representatives in the House and Senate, determined not to be ushered to the
    side and demanding the E-Verify law. Thousands are calling 202-224-3121 to be
    directed to their federal and state political members and having a nationwide
    impact.

     

    Michelle Bachmann, a strong advocate
    for the ‘Rule of Law’ and a TEA PARTY Republican will not be tempted, with the accustomed
    corruption exhibited within the Halls of Congress. The Tea Party and
    businessman Herman Cain will remain adamant in opposition to any job or economy
    killing immigration reform; if Cain lasts the dirty tricks of the other side? Bachmann,
    Perry have launched their own attacks against former speaker Newt Gingrich who
    as proposed a similar law to Assemblyman Fuentes in California, with the
    tirade of paying fines, prior taxes and having no criminal history.

     

    Last September debate Perry got
    pounded for his support for a Texas version of the Dream Act that the TEA PARTY
    is a strong opponent. Mitt Romney is now echoing Former Congressman Tom
    Tancredo’s who has a huge following and where “amnesty” is a watchword for
    taxpayers. Tancredo criticizes his rivals, particularly New York Gov. Giuliani
    for his low key support of a Sanctuary City policy and Huckabee, for both being
    soft on immigration.  Anyone who is to
    reside in the ‘Oval Office’ must strengthen our immigration laws for American
    taxpayer first; not pandering to foreign nationals, undocumented immigrants,
    unauthorized aliens—but none-sanitized, or complicated by the ‘Politically
    Correctness’ term as they really are—illegal aliens.   But most Prez candidates support
    constructing the fence, and Rick Santorum astonished me when he mentioned Prior
    President Bush’s ‘Secure Fence Act’ of 2006. Last September Santorum has stated
    he opposes benefits for illegal aliens, comprehensive immigration reform, and
    supports a border fence and making English the national language.

     

    Although Santotum has hinted in providing some method for
    “dealing with” individuals who are already squatting in this country?
    Senator Santorum also expressed his resistance to any plans to grant social
    security (a Bush proposal never ratified as yet?) and other discretionary
    expenditures to illegal aliens who are living in the United States. Every one
    of the candidates have their ‘Point of view’ which is a powder-keg issue’ that
    is going to be a strong ticket arising in the presidential elections and stand
    its ground with both jobs and the economy—as all are major troubles that
    co-exist together. The bottom line without enforcing immigration laws is the
    unparalleled encouragement of more illegal aliens coming here without any
    substantial benefits to an American public other than stealing jobs in all low
    classes of occupations.

     

     If there is to be a
    ‘Guest Workers’ program it must be strictly adhered to, with a tracking system
    of locating absconders’ and able to trace and deport.  Whatever the Liberal media says, the TEA PARTY
    is expanding and growing in extensive numbers and sees illegal immigration as a
    financial liability, but not so with new legal immigrants. The Tea Party would
    accept I believe a ‘Points System’ like European countries, with the advantage
    of bringing in the brains from other countries. These would be acclaimed
    professionals in engineering, science and other future industries that would be
    perceived as being not relying on the welfare or public assistance from
    taxpayers.

  • expatpatriot

    Notwithstanding your febrile rhetoric, Crowley misstated nothing. She pointed out that people — and in particular people in key states who share Hispanic heritage — distrust the Republican party because it’s seen as anti-immigrant. (She could have said racist, but didn’t.)

    To the degree that there is a coherent Republican position on immigration, that fact is trivial beside the fact that voters *see* the republicans as untrustworthy on this issue. And, largely because Republican tendencies to cloak everything in febrile rhetoric (see above) prevent them from articulating sensible positions on just about anything, people in those key states will continue distrusting them, and hence those states might go to Obama in 2012.

    Listening comprehension matters.

    Is that the clearest picture you can get from Australia, ex-patriot? Seems like either the picture is cloudy or it’s your closed mind. Tell me, do you know any Republicans? Do you ever even talk to any? You might be surprised how many Latinos not only vote Republican but are in favor in strict measures to curb illegal immigration. And a lot of them are also pretty fed up with Obama.

    if reading  English was a problem–there would never be a conservative elected…
    Hispanics may only speak Spanish and some English..
    but the  right wing crackers can barely get past English..
    that is why all conservative books are written at a 6th grade reading level–true story…

    Actually, he really isn’t, which is why I get so exasperated reading his posts. He knows better, but he still continues to make there over-the-top knee-jerk statements without actually thinking before he does so. At least that’s my interpretation. If I’m wrong in that assessment I hope he corrects me.

    I know scads of Republicans, although most of them are the sane kind rather than teabaggers, and so may not represent your particular faction.

    And maybe I’ll be in for a surprise in November next year when the votes from the Hispanic community are counted — but I really don’t think so.

    I’m sure that Republican Hispanics consider it an insult to their intelligence that they wouldn’t vote Republican solely because they’re Hispanic. On the other hand, many would consider it an insult to their intelligence to suggest they’d vote against their own economic and social self-interests by giving votes to regressive, obstructive, shrill, economically ignorant, nihilistic, incompetent, and (let’s whisper this one) racist Republicans.

    On the whole I think the latter outnumber the former by a substantial percentage.

    And many of us are frustrated that Obama hasn’t kicked rightwing butt nearly hard enough, but that doesn’t translate into votes for the nutbags currently vying for the Republican nomination.

  • expatpatriot

    Correct. Goldwater was a man of principle. You can say that of Paul, you can say that of Huntsman, but they’re obiviously not going to be nominated.

    And you can’t say that of any of the other freaks running for the ‘Lican nomination.

    and Republicans wonder why people call them racist.

    The Roman General Scipio, mused at Carthage’ complete destruction, wondering if Rome too, shall meet the same fate?

    PHIL,  Our homeland is being attacked from on so many fronts, even from within.  Only NOW does McCain warn us the Southwest may soon have enough votes to claim another’s purse as their own!

    This election MAY save the Union?  Unfortunately, there are quislings among us, who cry for our help when they see what they have wrought

    When illegal Hispanics, especially from Mexico, are granted amnesty, Hispanics will become the majority, even earlier than some have predicted. Majority rules, means there will be fewer faces like McCain’s and Obama’s in DC, and more like Mexico. Hispanic activists and numerous US politicians are working already to achieve this.

    I think I made it perfectly clear, that I was referring to the United States of America. If you didn’t get that, your problem.
