If any of my people(Puerto Ricans) voted for MCCain, then chances are, they're narrowminded halwit, religious zealots who believe that by talking republican and thinking like them, will get them somewhere in the elite world. What they don't know is that that's far far from the truth because to the REps in the end, Latinos will never be perceived as anything but ugly ass chimps in expensive suits by the elite they aspire so much to part of.

If anyone thinks Obama shares Latino concerns for jobs, housing, social services, education better think again. There won't even be church-mouse scraps after the black feeding frenzy that he'll facilitate, nor much of a United States as we know it. The Fanny Mae/Freddie Mac disaster is just the tip of the iceberg: Franklin Raines, Obama's financial advisor, who headed both organizations walked away with 50 million while practically destroying this nation's economy.

McCain is an embarrasment. He only panders for our vote when he faces an election. As far as abortion, this man will completely over turn Rove v. Wade and ultimately dictate a womans personal choice. Wrong choice for this country.

For the first time I'm ashamed of my hispainc blood running through my veins. The latino culture has always been strong in their faith. I urge all of you to look up Obamas vote on his partial birth vote. In other words Obama believes you can have an abortion at anytime. He said, how do you know a baby is a baby before 9 months. For our Lady of Guadalupe, please do some check this out.
