| McCain Rebukes Hispanic Voters |
| 2009-04-04 |
| Stung over the voting bloc's 2-to-1 support of Obama in November, the senator says to look to the new president for immigration leadership. John McCain sounds angry and frustrated that, despite the risks he took in pushing immigration reform, Hispanic voters flocked to Democrat Barack Obama in last year's presidential contest. McCain's raw emotions burst forth recently as he heatedly told Hispanic business leaders that they should now look to Obama, not him, to take the lead on immigration. The meeting in the Capitol's Strom Thurmond Room on March 11 was a Republican effort led by Sens. McCain of Arizona, John Thune of South Dakota, and Mel Martinez of Florida to reach out to Hispanics. But two people who attended the session say they were taken aback by McCain's anger. |

| #7 McCain lost because he couldn't out liberal the liberals. Sucking up the the illegals is just that, bonehead and it cost you more conservative votes (of all races) than you gained through your BS. Now please go away and let some real conservatives take over. |

| #3 it is far better to lose on substance then to win on style, during the campaign mccain displayed neither. I didn't vote for mccain, I voted against barry sotero. |

| #2 He should be upset considering that his support of amnesty cost him the support of most of the conservative wing of the party. He bet wrong and is upset that he lost. I can't think a time I felt less enthusiastic about the man I voted for. He was the Democrat's Republican candidate for president. |

| #1 Maybe Lindsey Graham will smooth this over with a Gramnesty Award or something. |
