I am voting for McCain because I am stupid and like being called stupid by a senator who has never done anything for his state, but now wants to run the country. It is not important that he knows what he is doing. All that is important is that he is NOT one of them.

Keep up the good work McCain. And please dont denounce Gramm. Nobody here (they do on the other sites) can handle the truth. All they do is whine and blame the bush admin for everything, when in fact they are still living a cushy life, just maybe on a bit more of a budget.

If you read it properly, what Gramm said anyway was about leaders complaining that America isnt competitive when in fact the economy is growing. He never mentioned the american people.

CNN is full of overracting lunatics who dont read the facts, just react at the headline.

Thank you John for your feelings on the Hispanic people who help run our country. I respect your ideas and you are "OUR BEST HOPE" to turn this country around. You need to be the Maverick of 2000 which we all want to see. Your voice and only your voice. Your ideas and only your ideas. Time for you to show us your leadership…from a Latino Democrat voting for McCain.

McSame just doesn't offer what people are looking for. Why waste your vote on the same old failed policies???

McSame's constant references to Viet Nam in everything he says/does will will backfire just like Rudy G. running on everything 9-11.

Stop gazing at the names on Viet Nam Vet's memorial and fund decent health care for the survivors of that quagmire and the two wars we're in right now!

As for Carl from Atlanta, even God might have trouble with borders of the world.

You see, Georgia was once American Indian. Then Spanish. Then English. Then U.S.

Los Angeles, Santa Fe, Denver, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Las Vegas, San Antonio, Phoenix, San Francisco — they were all once Spanish and then Mexican territory.

So, Carl, read up on history.
And by the way, I am American Indian and I consider YOU an illegal alien. Get off my land. I give you one week.

if mccain deports all the latinos,they better not "whine" about anything,or he'll just bomb you,instead.

mccain wants to throw god's children,out of the country,if he becomes prezident. he loves you now,but,really he just loves your vote.obama cares about ALL of god's children,not just the hispanic ones.

I don't think that sentor Gramm was that far off after reading liberal rantings over the last year. I think there are alot of whinners. Vote libertarian only party with true american inrerest in mind.

Flip Flop McSame!

Somebody needs to tell McCain that when he courts the Hispanic vote, he needs to tell that BOTH Obama and Hillary voted for the wall.

Yes, the wall on our border.

Obama would not know an Hispanic if he were in Los Angeles. He's clueless about our problems in the southwest.

Please spread the word that OBAMA VOTED FOR THE WALL.

McSame cares very little for Hispanics. Pandering is what comes to mind. ALL American men and women are God's children. This Latino will NOT vote for a hypocrite!

Obama 2008!

All Obama need do is select BIll Richardson as his runnning mate and he'll help sew up the hispanic vote.

hahaha

este viejo no le interesa ayudar a los latinos, los republicanos son los k quieren k los imigrantes desaparescan,ellos han firmado todas las leyes contra los immigrantes

este VIEJO , no tiene idea de lo que es ser immigrante, o Moreno, Negro, Mulato, mexclado, indigena,
mujer o MINORIA

NO MAS MCBUSHES

Don't mean to be so blunt but it is time for illegal immigration to be dealt with sharply and swiftly. Rules are rules and when they are broken you should be punished for that. If I go out and rob a bank tomorrow and dont' hurt anyone in the process does that make it okay for me to rob again???????

I think our country has gotton it wrong for sometime now by not standing firm on our values, principles, and religion. If you want to be here in America, then follow the laws and rules. Stop hollering rights violation. If you don't like the way we do things, then the door is always open for you to exit.

McCain needs to take his Viagra and retire somewhere.

Very touching … like his song "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran". Who is this guy? Someone show him the way home.

This will not work McSame. We are ALL God's children. Geez…

Obama '08

Unlike OBAMA, McCain has got it right. Latinos are GOD'S CHILDREN the same as the rest of us and probably more so than some of the others. The rapists, liquor store robbers, burglary specialist, and rioters, sitting on the porch waiting for welfare checks, and generally bashing the only President and his lady that ever did anything great for them. I am so tired of all the HILLARY bashers. I can not for the life of me see why she would even consider helping him gain the White House. IF THE DNC IS PUTTING PRESSURE ON YOU TO DO THIS THEN DROP THEM. Move to the Republican or Independent Party where you can be appreciated Hillary. The DNC has gone to the hyenas, I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO BE OBAMA'S VP NO MORE THAN WE YOUR SUPPORTERS WANT YOU TO BE. Take your voters and you support away NOW. Let the man sink in what he thinks has brought him this far. AND THAT IS CRAP. If it's far enough to gain the Oval Office so be it. PEOPLE WILL REAP WHAT THEY SEW.

i feel there are fake republicans and fake hispanics here , no doubt communist behind the scenes.

Lord this man has hit the WALL again. The last I read, I think we all fit this category.

"It seems the only Hispanics that John McCain likes are dead ones listed on granite walls."

…Or the ones landscaping his yard, cooking his food, and cleaning his pool.

Senator, are you trying to get on my good side? Huh?? I see what you're doing Senator, I see what you're doing, LOL!!

Any fool knows that McBush is just saying that to get the votes of the Hispanics!!! Duh!

Sorry McBush, you and Obama pushed an immigration legislation that you now are against. You don't care about Latino American, or any poor Americans at that.

I guess the Latino problems in America are also psychological.

Proud to be an American Whinner.

McSane votes against all womans issues , votes against veterans,
abused his ill wife while out cheating with Cindy then marrys Cindy a month after divorsed his wife,then he calls Hispanic Immigrants Gods children" by McSame who do the rest of the children belong to ?

He acccused Obama of not being there for a vote but McSane soon learned he himself wasn't there to vote either .
McSame has 2 elbow men to remind him of his misspeaking .

Talk about Senile = Nearing the end of an erosion cycle .

Juan McAmensty is a disgrace to America and the GOP.

His "hispanding" is pathetic and that is one reason he's going to lose the election.

I, like many immigrants (legal or otherwise) are God's children who served honorable in the U.S military with pride. However, Senator McCain and many Americans like Lou Dobbs and many in the Republican party conveniently forget this fact.

WHen you talk about illegal immigrants I think everyone needs to remember this is not only a Hispanic problem but a Russian, European, Asian, etc….

We are ALL God's children! We are not ALL American citizens. If a Hispanic or Latino who is a citizen of another country serves honorably in our military, he/she should be given the fast track to citizenship. However, since McCain helped author the last try at "amnesty" for all ILLEGALS, it will be interesting to see if he gets a large part of the Hispanic (citizen) vote. If so and he wins the election, it will be even more necessary for those of us who opposed that bill to band together once again to let Washington know who they represent. If Obama wins, the result will be exactly the same. So, where's our choice??

I JUST WANT TO THROW UP BUSH IS ON T.TV. LYING ABOUT OIL PRICES OH MY GOD, WE ARE ALL YOUR CHILDREN , PLEASE HELP US , SAVE US FROM THE DEMONS G.BUSH J.McCAIN AND LEAST AND ALSO LAST DICKEY C.

Apparently folks here don't live next to large hispanic communities, otherwise they would know…MOST HISPANICS VOTE CONSERVATIVE!!! They have very conservative values about families and country, Obama is the furthest thing away from them!

And to insinuate that McCain was saying that only hispanics are God's children, well now you all are just looking for something to criticize.

Next he'll be saying that "some of [his] best friends" are Hispanic Americans, or Hispanic immigrants.
Did he have these newfound sentiments BEFORE he was for a border fence, or after? He changes positions (or can't remember) so often that I get confused from speech to speech.
Don't humor or patronize "La Raza," Mr. Senator. You can give your door-to-door salespitch all you want, but it won't work.

Was McCain's first wife one of "god's children" who quite possibly deserved a little better from him? He couldn't deliver to her under the bond of a vow spoken in his own words. Courting Hispanic voters with this level of farcical tripe is shabby and patronizing politics at its worse.

What the…

will someone please tell McCain to stop saying…'my friends'…it so gets on my nerves
but then, most of what he says and all of how he says it gets on my nerves too.

This man doesn't have a clue.The hispanics are probably calling him "bendeho" now.

This war monger is stuck on the Nam War!

He got shot down! He didn't even fight in the Nam-war!!! Hero? How does a POW become a hero?

What makes the MSM think that McSame is better to protect this country and win any wars?

Then why are you so proud of the 2000 mile fence you're making.

T-GUY, WE ARE NOT BIAS FOR NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA WE JUST RECONIZE A HYPOCRITE,LIAR AND A CHEAT!! GO MCCAIN!!!!

Interesting how Reptilicans use minorities like pawns in their little turf wars…Not his time, folks! The veil has been lifted…

I love the fact that John McCain tries to win over Hispanic voters with an advertisement that shows him sitting on stage with Tom Tancredo! Que mal suerte!

I don't know what makes Senator Mccain think that we will fall for this. Every Latino I have spoken to here in TX is supporting Obama with the exception of 2 who were always Republican voters. Latinos know what Republicans have done to this country and our communities and are ready to make a change.

Even though Mccain wants to tout his support of comprehensive immigration reform (which isn't the number one issue to Latinos), he turned his back on it, he doesn't support the Dream Act, he doesn't believe in dual language education. I mean, how is this Latino friendly legislation. He wants to have this thing both ways and it isn't going to work. Maybe the 2000 Mccain, but not this one.

At least this shows that McCain is not one of those say anything to get the vote politicians!
Barr in 08!

McCain is a good man. I know that doesn't mean much to a lot of folks who want an American Idol as President, but goodness and decency mean a great deal to me.

My gosh, is this pandering or is it pandering? McCain makes me want to throw up. I will never vote for McCain or any person that is a Republician!

Bush is an idiot, and so is that stupid McSame if he thinks we're going to vote for a person who says the economy is in our imagination. This is not the change I want for my country.

Yeah right. Is that a lie, a flipflop, a course change, what?

more pandering to get votes. Don't be fooled. He will reveal his true feelings if he's elected President.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!!

THE LATINO VOTE , BECAUSE IT IS SOLID AND UNIFIED WILL DECIDE THE WINNER IN THIS YEAR'S ELECTION. COUPLED WITH THE BLUE COLLAR AND WOMEN VOTERS, RURAL AMERICANS, THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT HILLARY CLINTON'S SUPPORTERS WILL HAVE THE CLOUT TO DECIDE THE WINNER.

How do you say "pander" in Spanish?

Everyone is god's children, except McCain
OBAMA (2008 -16)

When all else fails… speak God!
I hope all you who voted for Bush understand what you have done. Look at the complete mess we are in. Don't stay the course this election.

I like how CNN always has news stories about the polls when Obama is doing well in polls, but no stories when his poll numbers are slipping. New national poll has Obama ahead by just 2 points! He's going down!

Hispanics are smart & can recognize"pandering" when they see it.

Jimmy in NYC July 11th, 2008 10:06 am ET
For the record…Many many hispanics voted for the Republican Bush because someone in Bush's family was married to a woman of Mexican descent and that made him one of them. I found that logic very funny…

You find that very funny? The majority of us are voting for Obama because he is BLACK. If McCain was married to a BLACK woman, the votes would be split. If McCain was raised by a BLACK woman, the votes would be split. Actually, McCain could have been raised by a BLACK woman. He is old enough to have lived during those times. :-/

THIS is pandering??? this isn't even nearly in the same league with Obama's statement that all of our kids should learn Spanish, but apparently none of you has a problem with that because it was Obama who said it? Wake up from your rapture before it's too late….

McConfused is really confused.

Voting to 100% against Hispanics and saying they are the children of GOD? how hypocrite.

Too much Viagra, McViagra

God's children???Sure. God needs to come down here and explain.

McCain, Obama. Build the fence. If that doesn't work, dig a moat. if that doesn't work, put in a mine field. If that doesn't work, station the National Guard on the border with orders to shoot to kill. Stop the invasion. Oh, and deport anyone who hires an illegal along with the illegal.

WITH A POTENTIAL TREASURE TROVE FOR HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN , McCAIN IS NOW GETTING THE MONEY FROM THE GOP TO MOUNT A GOOD AD CAMPAIGN . BUT HE HAS MADE TOO MANY GAFFES AND PEOPLE ARE WONDERING IF HIS AGE WILL BE A FACTOR IN THE CAMPAIGN.. HIS POTENTIAL VP CHOICES
ALREADY KNOWN, WHILE OBAMA'S CAMP HAVE BEEN TIGHT LIPPED ON HIS CHOICES. McCAIN THEREFORE WILL WAIT FOR OBAMA TO MAKE HIS VP CHOICE BEFORE McCAIN MAKES HIS..
IT'S A LONG, LONG WAY TO NOVEMBER . BUT THIS ELECTION
IS GETTING TO BE THE MOST WATCHED EVENT IN AMERICAN ELECTIONS BECAUSE IT ALREADY IS HISTORIC. WE THINK IT IS OBAMA'S TO LOSE.

What form, what style, what grace. McCain performed a perfect flip flop hand spring with a pandering twist. *applause* *standing O*

As I remember, Jesus said he died for all mankind. How does McCain feel about advocating the killing of so many of God's Iragi children? Yes, God is their God too.

Why doesn't he just change his name to Juan McCain?

What is he going to do next? He's trying to run on the Bush Reagan past to become President of a nation of "whiners" according to his closest friends. In what country has McCain lived lately? Has he failed to notice that most of the folks in the country, the hard working folks, can't but gas to get to work? How can he stand behind the failed policy of Bush and continue to send money to the very tyrants he claims to dislike?

The truth is that McCain is just literally over the hill. After all, it is his generation of Republican that has us in the present mess. It's a little difficult to blame Clinton now. The Republicans have had their chance. We now need to return to sanity. We need our civil rights restored, those rights that Bush and the Congress are responsible for ending. We need a Supreme Court that cares about the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. We need a Congress that is not afraid to face the voters.
They called Al Gore a flip flopper. McCain would be if he could remember how he voted in the first place. McCain can hardly complain about a broken Washington when he is the reason it's broken.

Folks, please check out Huff Post and other news media networks, there are some really interesting articles, that we are not seeing on CNN

Did you know that JOHN McCAIN was still MARRIED TO CAROL when he MARRIED CINDY?

I am not making this up, check HUFF POST yourself!

Oh my - just more previews of what's to come if we Americans make another mistake like we did in 2000 and 2004. This guy is so far out there, you have to wish it really is meaness instead of simply lacking in the brains department.

We MUST have change in '08.

Yeah, yeah, they are God's children, who are also lawbreakers. McCain's surfeit of Christianity blinds him to the evil these people perpetuate. Hell, they, aided by the Democratic Party, even vote. Enough!

I grew up in Colorado, and while I am not Hispanic, lots of my friends are. And I am kind of insulted that this ad even came out. Why would he ever have to suppose to say "they are God's children." Who even thinks they aren't? Sounds to me like in Huck Finn, when Huck says, "I suppose even colored folks love their families too." People took offense at that one. And now McCain is talking the same way. Why does McCain think that all Anglos in these states have to think about their friends that "yes, they ARE God's children." Why does it even come up?

John McCain should do what all red blooded old americans do at his age; 1) Move to florida and do his part in tyeing up traffic or/and get a job as a Wal-Mart greeter 2) Play bingo.

Condescending, anyone? What's next? "Blacks are God's children."

oh my gosh…what next McShame?

John McCain will do and say anything to get a vote…including stealing and lying…he is only PANDERING to get the Hispanic vote, but as we have seen time and time again…John Mccain does not care about Americans. Black White Latino Native Asian or any other…unless you are RICH. Do not be fooled, this man thinks America is mental. Remember how McCain voted on MLK Day…he voted NO.
this man is trying to become President for the good of his lobbyist, not the good of the country!!!
DONT LET JOHN MCCAIN FOOL AMERICA, LIKE BUSH AND CHANEY DID IN 04

WAR WAR WAR

Barf

Haven't seen the ad,
but I'd like to believe that all Christians, African-American, Anglo American, Asian American, Hisanic American, Native American, etc. (that was in alpha order for those who didn't catch the way I listed the ethnicities)

By the way, I made need to see a shrink real soon as I see the Dow is now under 11,000. First time in 2 years. YIKES!!!
Where is Phil Gramm when you need him to help with all of those construction jobs (that aren't going on because of the economy) that so overwhelmingly hurt the Hispanic community? He's either sitting at his desk at UBS counting his money or on his way to see his psychiatrist.

This is just the usual Republican ruse of wrapping any policy in "God" that is likely not in the public interest - even those who hope to become citizens but who have come here illegally.

We all are God's children. However, what McCain wants is voters for him -and low-cost labor for corporations. Laborers that are often easily abused and be a wedge to undermine all worker protections and negotiated wages which were intended to actually see that people got treated like "God's children".

The innocent Iraqis who continue to die every day in this illegal war we pushed upon them based on lies are God's children, too - but not potential voters - so they are expendable.

"Beware of Republicans who espouse God" is the modern version of "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts".

Ugh! Enough pandering. Maybe a smart political move, definitely not sincere. His campaign has completely been taken over by the GOP. And to try to reach out to evangelicals by calling Hispanics God's children? What about the Hispanics who don't believe in God? Are they "God's children"? I believe the term "children of God" comes from the Bible and refers only to Christians. Bob Barr is starting to look better and better.

Wow, McCain is such a hypocrite and will do and say anything to try to get elected. It won't work. Americans, Hispanics included, are much smarter than this.

Obama '08

I thought we all were God's children. I guess I have been misinformed all these years!!!

McCain says "Let them drink beer!"

McCain will not win the support of the immigrants so he needs to stop making a weak effort. What about the recent article in which he states that they need to learn English and that we shouldn't have to post signs in stores etc in Spanish and English?

Mis amigos, Obama es mejor canditato para todos.

Si se puede!

Former Atty Gen. Alberto Gonzalez was thrown under the bus by the Bush administration and as a private citizen he hasn't been able to get a job. You think the Republicans care after they used him.

NO VP SPOT FOR HILLARY. SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON TOP OF THE TICKET BUT THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. 20 MILLION OF US ARE STILL WITH HER IF SHE DECIDES TO TRY AGAIN IN 2012!!! NO OBAMA. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE OTHERS BUT I AM STAYING HOME IN NOVEMBER

CNN) – John McCain is airing a new ad — in which he calls Hispanic Americans “God’s Children” — in his latest bid to win over that key voting bloc……..We are all GOD'S CHILDREN!!!!!…..This is called PANDERING ………My friends, I want you the next time you're down in Washington, D.C., to go to the Vietnam War Memorial and look at the names engraved in black granite. You'll find a whole lot of Hispanic names,” McCain said in remarks included in the 30-second spot.
MR McCain you are Disgusting!!!…..REMEMBER when he says MY FRIENDS ….he is up to no GOOD ……..This man is full of GAME and he thinks that WE are STUPID
CNN plz POST 2nd try

Wow! Are we using God now to get votes. McCain please just let it go.

Nice flipflopping McCain, are you for amnesty or not?

"RHM July 11th, 2008 10:25 am ET

So, when McCain is in front of a white, conservative audience, he's all for border and immigration control.

When he's in front of a Hispanic audience, he believes that illegal immigrants are God's little angels on Earth.

…see, this is why I'm no longer a Republican. McCain is going to destroy the party."
——————————-
Actually, Bush has already destroyed the party. John McCain is just throwing a little more dirt on it.

You'll find a whole lot of African Ameircan, some Asian, Jewish and American Indian names as well….so what's his point!!!!! If I were Hispanic I would find this ad insulting. Don't pander to me and act as if you are concerned about me now that you need my vote to become president. What has he done while in office to help any minotrity? We all know he voted against MLK having a holiday, but of course this year he realized his mistake…GIVE ME A BIG FAT BREAK!!!!! This ad reeks of desparation!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, he thinks we're all his children. He talks to us like we're five years old. When an important subject comes up that need an important answer, he jokes about it. No, this man will not be my president. Send him to a nursing home and let the country move forward.

Can we leave God out of anything these days? McCain and the Republicans constantly shoving Christian-coated political pandering is sickening…I'm catholic and I'M even tired of hearing about "God-this" and "God-that" and "God's Children"…*sigh*

We need Obama, not a third Bush term.

Time to leave the Vietnam War behind and talk about and solve the two wars we are in. This man is too much in the past and not equipped to deal with the realities of the 21st century!!

Give it up McMunster! Obama has the Latino vote. The GOP blew it!

Of course we're all God's children.

The only thing is, some of God's children get smuggled into this country, and some of them get deported, while their children stay, because they were born in the US.

I suppose John McCain is God's grandfather?

I guess since Hispanics are "God's Children" they are not subjected to the same halucinations that the rest of us "mentally recessed" Americans. Give me a break McCain! My Hispanic friends will not fall for your pandering ways. Hispanics and the rest of us Americans are not imaging the pain we feel when we go to get gas or buy groceries. Keep your phoney ads Senator, because they will not help you or your Republican collegues in November.

BTW McCain, quite avoiding questions like the one about medical coverage for Viagra versus birth control and have a position for a change. You look very old and foolish when you are that unprepared to address the press.

we are all God's children. that will include the Iranians that he was joking about killing them with cigarettes. are troops are God's children and they are getting injured and killed every day over a lie.

does mcbush even think before he opens his sagging jaws? this idiot will say anything to get himself elected.

All of McCain's campaign tactics of backpeddling, dodging questions, flip flopping, "miss speaking", and telling people what they want to hear is making me sick.

Am so tired of politics!! In the end no matter who we vote for the electoral college will decide who is elected just like in 2000. Bush policies towards Cuba are incocibable only visits every 3 years. Who is he to tell how often can we visit our families. Both my grandparents die and i couldnt get to see them. Now the democrats we the Armenian Genocide are sooooo wrongggg IT NEVER HAPPENED!!1 Open history books people. Well anyways who are politics to decide history right? what are historians for? Anyways am so confuse who will I vote for!!! Honestly i dont like Obama or Mccain!!!

What has McCain or the GOP ever done for minorities, women, gays, economy, fairness & equality???

His own immigration legislation he said he wouldn't vote for. Unless you are very wealthy latino family making well over 250 will be paying a greater proportion of taxes. Wake up America, McCain is truly a 3rd Bush term.

To: T GUY and Carl, Atlanta:

"Lets see how well informed they are or will they react to bias like some other ethnic groups." I am Hispanic and I am very well informed. I have been voting for over 36 years. I do not vote on sound bites or jump on band wagons. Not the BHO nor MC bandwagon! I am a life long practicing Catholic and was raised in a good home where my parents did not teach us to hate nor discriminate against another human being. Nor to take things on face value, but to look deep inside and make informed decisions about everything!! Not all Hispanics voted for Bush based on his sister in law being Hispanic. How stupid! The ones I know voted for Bush because they didn't like Kerry! Some were dumb enough just like the others to fall for his 9/11 bull. How ironic for you to say " will they react to bias like some other ethnic groups." Um, it's very obvious Blacks– they voted for BHO simply because he is Black and it would be "historic" and forget about issues and his voting record, experience, his indecisiveness which is clearly coming into focus and his supporters are now so "surprised". So, tell me who is informed and who isn't? Lastly, Carl–you say some are "terrorists"–um, where do you get your information from. You shouldn't go around making false accusations. You sound like Bush.

Yes, I'll make an informed decision and it will be to stay home after voting in the Democratic party for over 36 years. I would rather do that than to hand the leadership of our country to either one of these fools.

CNN have the guts to post this.

We are all God's Chidren (even the athiests). McCain is obviously pandering to hispanics. I'm willing to bet the only hispanic he's ever had any interaction with is housekeeper or gardener.

America is built on the sweat and work of immigrants. LEGAL immigrants. The time when we as a country can absorb millions of illegals into our healthcare and welfare systems is long past. We don't need a wall, though. All we need to do is to change the laws. Change #1-If your parents are not Americans, and they are not applying to be Americans, if you are born in the US, you are NOT a US citizen. Change #2. if you are not an American citizen, you cannot apply for welfare and you cannot apply for unemployment. Change #3 You may visit this country on a work visa, and you may get a driver's license, but you must have have vehicle insurance if you have a car. Change #4. If you are not an American citizen, you may rent or lease American property, but you cannot own American real estate (this goes for foreign companies as well). Change #5, to obtain a work visa, you or your employer must have minimum health insurance for you and your dependents.

End of story.

Pandering. Barf.

Listening to him speak… watch him. Do you think he really cares about you? Think about it.. Look at his record.

He's pandering for your votes.

McCain better start realizing there are more Independent voters that need to be captured, than those that cannot legally vote. Grovelling to a particular special interest group will certainly lose him to conservative indepents. And I for one, as a Reagan Republican now Independent, will not endorse another republican who touts Amnesty…no matter how he tries to redefine it. I'd vote for Obama, at least I would know upfront the screwing we are going to get, over another Bush.

This ad is very slimy. McCON is clearly pandering to latinos and we will find out if they fall for it or not. McCON NEVER talks about GOD or religion so this ad is clearly a "suck-up" ad. Iranian citizens are also God's children and John McCON recently said he wished they would all be killed. We are all God's children, maybe if he actually attending church he would know that.

Good God, this guy is really a tired old man.
What were the Republicans thinking by giving him the nomination?
Have you noticed even McCain's voice is getting weaker and weaker.
He needs to lie down and take a rest.
Can't vote for McCain , WON'T vote for Obama.
This voter will write in Hillary Clinton.
Won't you join me?

McCain said Obama had lowered himself to being nothing more than
any other old style politician. Well, by pandering to the to the Latinos, he has lowered himself lower than even the old style politicians

Pandering, pandering, and more pandering. It makes me feel bad all over. And … well, left out! Is McCain suggesting that the rest of us – you know, the whiners, the ones who can be placated through psychological manipulation – are not “God’s Children?” I think it’s an offensive ad.

Why does McCain always bring war into all his speeches and comments?

My father had some senility problems as he got older and had the same types of symptoms………….he kept referring to many instances he was familiar with which for he most part were from times long past but when confronted with current events he quite often displayed forgetfulness and confusion.

Buyer better beware on this one as your future may depend on it.

NO CNN, PLEASE POST THIS!

And what ethic group would that be @ T GUY? Obama is one of the best and true figures the younger and mid aged blacks have had in a long time and you want to dicount us?!?!

60's leaders such as: Sharpton, Jesse Sr. and some of the others don't speak for us blacks of this generation (excluding: MLK and Malcolm). Please let us be happy in our decision of who we like and don't apply it as if we are delusional.

Thanks Mr. McCain. I'll let my wife and children know. Up until now they weren't sure abou that…

john mcsain did not vote on this either
as for MR MCSAIN

WE ARE ALL GODS CHILDREN (KYE-LIEBERMAN)

Oh please…McCain is just desperate to get votes. Immigration reform had nothing to do with "Gods Children". It was only about rewarding big $ constituent lobbyists with a vast endless pool of cheap labor. Bush actually met with lobbyists from the construction industry to promote McCain's amnesty bill. That pretty much sums it up .

Can anyone spell "pandering"!!!!!!!!!!

I thought according to the bible we were all God's children!!!!!!!!!

And this is just why liberal McCain will never win the election.

What a pandering political hack … we have already suffered through the worst presidency in our history … let's not let another moron into the White House!

Stop it, McCain. Last I checked, we were all God's children…North Americans, South Americans, Africans, Europeans, Asians, etc. Please don't bring my God into your campaign spin!

McSane should be ashame of himself, he will say and do ANYTHING to get a vote and the sad part about it is they will probably believe him. If by chance he becomes the next President which I doubt it, the Hispanic community will then see first hand how he REALLY feels about them.

Obama 08

NO WAY JOSE.WHERE VOTING FOR BARACK OBAMA.

Wait did he really say this about Hispanics! What is this world comeing to??????

Obama 20028 and 2012

I wonder what John Hagee will say when he reads this?!

ONLY Hispanics are GOD's children and the REST OF AMERICANS are a "bunch of whiners" who are suffering from "mental depression"….

John McShame, we get it!……………I need some of that stuff you and your lifelong economist buddy Phil Gramm are smoking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like Obama can learn a few things from the McCain campaign about coalition building!

Talk about pandering?!?!?!?!

What's next, Cindy McCain opening a tacqueria?!

Odds are he'll just alienate the "AMURRRREEEEEKA" white supremacist anti-immigrant crowd. Which is just fine by me.

Remember folks: McCain thinks the illegal immigrants are Gods Children, and the blue collar Americans struggling with the effects of an economy in crisis are whiners. And Obama's the elitist in all this?

At what point do we just stop listening to this man? He's digging hole after hole for himself. Unfortunately, Obama doesn't seem to be much better-voting for FISA, for God's sake? What, the telecoms threatened to not vote for him? If they weren't doing anything illegal, according to the Decider, what were they afraid of?
I can hardly wait until they name VPs and that circus gets going!
However, should Bush not control his trigger-finger and attack Iran, we're all doomed anyway. Can't you tell he and Cheney are just itching for another war? Somebody get out the straight jackets, please???

dont be fooled latinos the republicans as well as john mccain wants to tear your families apart hes just pandering to you vote for him and you will be very very sorry!!!!!

Good to hear that Mrs. Clinton is not being considered for the VP.
The Clintons and her supportors have done a lot of demand to the party and we need to move on and work toward another direction to win this election in November. I am so tired of reading and hearing that Clinton's supportors are still mad. That is not Obama problem any more and we must continue to move forward. Why waste any more times on Clinton's supportors when there are another voters Obama needs to help him win.

@T GUY…I guess u would be refering to the AA community that supports the Dems. Why on earth would AA ever vote for a republican? They didn't even have the decency to show up to debates in the primaries that were hosted by AA organizations and colleges. EVERY SINGLE one of them DECLINED. They have showed little or no interest in those that are perceived as being less than them. They don't even attempt to garner the AA vote. They act as if we don't exist like there is no point to try and get support. Most AA would have voted for which ever candidate won be it Hillary or Barack. And you can't say that blacks only went to him b/c he is part black. The majority of Hillary's supporters were women, do you think this is a coincidence? Do you think they just voted for her by chance or b/c she was a woman?

McCain — Sensible views on immigration. And he doesn't want to force Americans to learn Spanish like Obama

McCain 08

A bunch of bull….! I agree they're God's children, but they need to go back to their country if they're here illegally. What in ILLEGAL don't they understand?

Sorry John, but you're not going to be able to break off the 35% of Hispanic voters necessary to get you the presidency. The Republican snake is going to be stepped on in November.

"God's children" will be out of the country quicker than you can say President McCain. The GOP is determined to get every illegal out. These last years under the thumb of George Bush have not been easy for latinos.

Obama 08

McCain: ‘I Received The Highest Award From Literally Every Veterans Organization In America"

The recognition McCain has received from veterans groups is not "high awards" but failing grades:

Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave McCain a grade of D for his record of voting against veterans. (By contrast, Obama got a B+.)

Disabled Veterans of America noted McCain’s dismal 20 percent voting record on veterans’ issues. (Obama had an 80 percent.)

In a list of "Key Votes," Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) notes McCain "Voted Against Us" 15 times and "Voted For Us" only 8. (Obama voted for VVA 12 times, and against only once.)

A vote for McBush is a vote for more war, more corporate and tax breaks, more erosion of women's rights, and more BUSH! Pander on McCain, but the women's vote won't be the group to put you in!

Hispanic Immigrants have always been "God's Children" prior to any presidential campaign and should have always been respected as such. I support Obama as much as I support Hispanics in their efforts for equal treatment.

Good for McCain..

At least McCain isn't demanding our kids learn Spanish in schools
like Obama is, next Obama will be demanding our kids learn RAP>

McCain I'm a Latino and you're just trying to win like bush did. I am not voting for you EVER! not just hispanics/latinos are GOD's children but everyone in the world is GOD's children.

He's a liar and he's trying to distract Americans from realizing that his economic advisor said that Americans are "a bunch of whiners".

It won't work.

Obama 08

HYPOCRITE! We all know that this is pandering to Catholics, Latinos and anyone else with a conscience! And …….DUH…..WE ARE ALL GOD'S CHILDREN, MCCAIN!

WHY is CNN not putting Phil Gramm ELISTS words on 24/7???????

I still say, that regardless of what McCain says to pander to all the different groups a vote for McCain is a vote for……

MORE WAR, MORE NATIONAL DEBT, MORE OF THE SAME!

Get that Pander Bear back in its pen. Who let him out, in the first place?? The Republicans !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

I get chills when McCain start his statements with "My friends". That's when we have to start looking over our shoulders. As for the ad, last I checked we are all God's children. And how funny that this is the first time he decides to bring God into his politics. Maybe he had a chance to polls some people before this and found out that mentioning God works for Hispanics??? Can I have just one ad that does not mention the war? Let's talk economy.

Hispanics are under-appreciated in this country. They do the work the lazy people don't want to do. Without Hispanics, our crops would rot in the fields. Careful what you wish for you just might get it! I am greatful for their service to this country. I wish we could find a way to make this immigration issue a workable solution, to benefit all sides.

Laura - I would invite you to actually listen to Obama's speeches instead of irresponsibly posting information you obviously know nothing about. I noticed that you say you don't know where Obama stands and that he has changed his position on so many things and you listed some. He has not changed his position on many of these things but then again you would not know that.

I have made it a point to listen to BOTH candidates speak this week and will continue to do so via the CNN live video. Here you will also find McCain lying about his voting record and attacking Obama with additional lies about his policies.

Aren't we all God's Children? What's up with that?

Hispanics are smarter than this. Come on with the pandering. If I were Hispanic I would just not vote. The disrespect for their intelligence is disturbing.

And the AOL straw poll thing is ridiculous. If you refresh your cookies you can vote as many times as you want, and we all know how disgusting and dirty Republicans are…

I'm about to throw up in my mouth

What is this?? Kissing up to people when you will vote against every issue that matters to them?

SAD!

ANOTHER GIMMICK!!!!!!!!!!!!
HISPANSIC ARE NOT "GOD'S CHILDREN" ALONE
MCCAIN IS AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!
KISSING BUTT WILL NOT GET HIM ELECTED!!!!!!

it should be illegal to use religion to pander for votes.

i will NEVER vote for mccain!

Sounds very condescending. Is McCain the Great White Father to these "children?" Pat them on the head and give them a quarter.

Gramps McCain wants all of "God's children" to come out of the shadows so they can be deported. He's just pandering to the Religious Right through this insincere attempt to reach out to Hispanic voters.

Do yourself and the country a favor. Vote Obama '08

How convenient. The Hispanic community has to be the most religous people in the country. Place them in the same sentence with GOD and it might increase your chances McShame. There are many veterans from many backgrounds. Are they not GOD's children too?

As a Latino, I must say this ad is kind of creepy.

They would have to be fools to fall for this BS from McCain. It's called PANDERING. He could really care less. Any party willing to use GOD as a political tactic is not to be trusted.

More political pandering. He wants them out of this country when he talks to white audiances, then he wants them to stay because they are gods little children. We are all god's children, not one single segment of the worlds society let alone the American society has an edge on this. McCain needs to find ONE PLATFORM and stick to it.
I am so glad I switched parties this election, the republicans have become the largest septic tank this world has ever known.

The hispanic green card holders that serve in the military do not necessarily reflect a love or partriotism for America. We have a mercenary army that entices the poor to serve for a salary and benefits that they seldom achieve in our society or the one they came from.

And himself is whose child? mental recession child

This shameless pandering is disgusting.

I will say this again. This is a subtle yet significant point. It defines the difference between the two major candidates.

McCain is campaigning to be Commander-In-Chief, not POTUS.

Obama is campaigning to be President of the United States, not CIC.

I wish he would move to MEXICO

He has no shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes latinos. McCain needs fodder for his wars.
Don't be fooled by this fool. What he is aying is "Okay, we will accept you as long as you are willing to die for us, otherwise get thee back to where you came from"!

Kudos to McCain himself for this message, but this will not be popular with the right-wingers! I live in Oklahoma, let me tell you these Republican whacko jobs around here down right HATE Mexican immigrants. It is not too extreme to say that they want them either out-of-her or dead. If this ad campaign gets much media coverage, there will be a lot of right-wing hostility going out toward McCain, and he will loose votes over there. This kind of message is not allowed in today’s Republican Party.

May be McOld will lose his jewish support now because Jews like to believe they're the only "Children" of God.

Say it with me….Pander Pander Pander

Yea, McCain wants to send all the Hispanics to the war to be killed. What a crazy ad…….about people dying. Old man go away. How morbid. Who you think would vote for this fool after seeing an ad like that.

And what are the rest of us, chopped liver?

Sorry, McSame. I'm a Hispanic living in New Mexico and I am NOT falling for your feeble attempt at stroking us Hispanics into voting for you. We'll see right through it and it absolutely will not work!

Obama 08 & 12

Hey Johnny Boy, I'm sending a carton of tissues your way to wipe the brown off your nose. Not fooling anyone!

Talk about pandering. Sorry McCain you cant do and say these things on the campaign trail and expect to be rewarded. You've had 30 years in congress and you did nothing good.
McCain=Bush!!!

We are all "God's Children" and it is time for us that have been living in the Shadows to come out.

McCain 08

Ironic isn’t it that McCain can talk about the Vietnam War Memorial with it’s 58,000+ names and he has voting record regarding Veterans has been bleak at the very least. There are two questions that are needed to be asked. Why does the majority of POW’s and the families of the MIA’s dislike McCain and after looking at all those names on that wall, why is he so hellbent on winning a war that can’t possibly be won?

Yeah everyone on the planet can be called god's children if thats your belief - so what? I'm also an american and i have a right to a soveriegn country with a protected border and a national language - not to mention a national anthem sung in english! So we are all gods children but that doesn't mean you can break the law or disrespect the american way of life. Are we to throw open our borders to all the people of the world Mac or just the relatives of the people who's vote your courting? And Obama is even worse!

What a stupid ad! It's also a slap in the face for many who have died in any war!!!

McSame voted against the GI Bill????????????

Can McSame do any thing without the word… WAR? Is this war the only thing these people have contributed?

God's children? What about the rest of God's children?

Also…every person is one of God's children. There are a lot of Hispanics serving in the military right now and are vets fighting for proper healthcare after being honorably discharged. For some reason he doesn't think these people need support - but those dead people we need to really recognize them!

Uh oh Republicans! John McCain see US all as God's children, not just the few elite!

While we are looking at the Vietnam Memorial, lets also look at all of the names being reported as killed or wounded from the Iraq War that McCain voted for and continues to support. I believe our nation as a whole would much rather see their names on college diplomas and job offer letters than the roles of the wounded or killed.

I am losing patience and respect for McCain more and more each day!!!

Senator Mccain, I will be voting for you, only because you are more qualified and trustworthy, but whoever wins, will be facing an enormous burden. This country is going down fast, no end in sight with our economic problems, war in the middle east, disaster all over the world, name it , we have it. If you don't make it to the presidency, it will be a big lift on your shoulder. You will probably be better off. Who need this anyway??

Same pandering, different race. This time it’s the Hispanic Americans and green card holders, as McCain put it, who are not citizens, how they love this country so much to risk their life. McCain also praises the service of members of the military serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. During the election in 2004, we the African Americans people were made to believe the republicans truly saw us as God’s Children, and yes, their friends. McCain, this is not 2004, trying to use God AGAIN, the love of our Country and words of praise, will not work this time to regain the Commander and Chief position.

If we look back at the last presidential election, this is the same game the republican used, the bait (our religion), the hook (how much they cared about us, friends) to win the Commander and Chief position.. We were left to believe this until the Republicans regained control of the White House, then we realized, the African Americans people, that our religion was their way of using us as tokens for our votes.

I hope the Hispanics people see right through you McCain = McBush, that you will say or do anything to repeat 2004, outcome.

Same OLD pandering McBush, the Hispanics Americans people will not be fooled by you and yours AGAIN…

Obama 08

Another good reason to seek a third party–pandering.

Reaching out to the latino vote–without letting them know where you clearly stand on dealing with current and future illegal immigrants is a useless gimmick that is just throwing hard earned donor funds down the toilet. It's kind of like how congress uses our money to test their own theories–throw millions of dollars of new/better program dollars at the wall and see what sticks. If that's good government–I'll do without it thank you.

Libertarians 2008
No gimmicks, no pandering–just a firm stance on our constitution and bill of rights–and creating a government that has limited power–but ensures enforcement of the laws of the land.

Got Liberty?

How bizarre! It seems Republicans can only use Hispanics as battle fodder, and later praise them for service. What good is praise when you're maimed, or worse? McCain is no different. Given his military service, and that of countless Hispanos, McCain fails to see that Hispanics in the U.S. also want the American Dream, and never get the credit for reaching for that goal. For many, it's lofty. But again, the Republicans fail to see that the Latino community is so much more than just a bunch of brown faces in uniform. They just don't get it.

This is smart polit
