McCain campaign unveils a new Spanish-language radio ad in NM
Republican presidential candidate John McCain launched a new Spanish-language radio ad in New Mexico and Nevada today as he tries to cut into Democratic candidate Barack Obama’s support among Hispanics.
The ad features McCain’s roommate at the Naval academy, a Hispanic who says McCain “shares our same conservative values and faith in God.”
“My roommate at the U.S. Naval Academy is running for president of the United States, and he wants what is best for the Hispanic community, too,” Frank Gamboa says in Spanish in the ad. “His name is John McCain and he has stood for our community even in the most difficult of times.”
Gamboa goes on to say that McCain “knows that family is the focal part of our lives and that we value hard work” and “has earned the trust of Latinos and has a history of supporting us.”
“This election, it seems to me that the other candidate has just discovered the importance of the Hispanic vote,” Gamboa says of Democrat Barack Obama. “So when it comes to our values and understanding Latinos this election, I know for John it’s not political; it comes from the heart.”
You can listen to the ad -- in Spanish -- by clicking here. It comes as a new poll shows Obama leading McCain by 30 points among Hispanics -- a gap that has remained fairly consistent since March.
The Gallup poll of 1,123 Hispanic registered voters was conducted in June and has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

On my desk I have a picture of “Our Lady of Guadalupe”. According to those who have studied the image, she is “with child”. This is significant, because as you may or may not know, the Aztecs sacrificed infants as part of their religious rituals. Our Mother was saying then as she is now “Stop killing these innocents!”
From the scripture:
“What you do to the least of these you do unto me”
“Before I knit you in your mother’s womb I knew
you”.
Both the present Pope, the previous one, John Paul II and Mother Theresa said that abortion was the pre-eminent moral issue.
Without the right to life all other
rights have no meaning. That precious
infant in the mother’s womb deserves a chance just like all of us.
Mr. McCain had an 89% pro-life voting record in the Senate .
Mr. Obama? 0%.
In addition to being our most pro-life
president ever, Mr. Bush spent more on social
welfare programs and combatting AIDs than any
previous chief executive. He appointed more
minorities to top positions in the
Federal government tnat anyone previously had.
He tried but failed to come up with some
kind of immigration reform.
More money was put into New Orlean for disater
recovery than anywhere else in the history of the country.
We’ve lost 4000 soldiers in Irag but progress
is being made. We lost 50,000 in Vietnam and left there with nothing really accomplished.
The present Pope, when he was a cardinal, said
that one could disagree over issues such as war and the death penalty and still be a good Catholic. Abortion and homosexuality are always
and forever more wrong and serious evils. They
were wrong two thousand years ago and will be
two thousand years from now.
I should qualify what I wrote about Mr Obama’s
pro-life voting record in the Senate. He did
cast one pro-life vote (to save the life of Terri Schiavo). He now said he regrets doing that, however. So, de facto he does have a 0%.
By the way, when he was in the Illinois legislature he voted against requiring a physician to save the life of an infant who
had survived a botched abortion. This is a more extreme position than even most pro-abortion groups like NARAL have. He is as far as I know the most pro-abortion, pro homosexual candidate ever to run for president. If this man represents the new Christianity and the new America, God help us all.
This country did great things by getting rid of slavery and
segregation. But with abortion and homosexual marriage we have only
traded one set of evils for another.
Nothing sanctioned by man can have any validity or lasting if it is not also likewise sanctioned by God.
Please Hispanic voters, Our Lady expects more of you than to support
a pro-abortionist like Mr. Obama.
