Huckabee, McCain, And Kennedy - Perfect Together At LULAC Events

Man, if Teddy K didn't have his hand up in this photo, I'd swear these two guys are almost twins.

Let me guess, "What's a guy have to do to get a drink around here, por favor."

The Ninth Annual LULAC National Legislative Awards Gala: Celebrating Legislative Service to the Hispanic Community took place March 1, 2006 in Washington, D.C. LULAC honored Arizona Senator John McCain, Massachusetts Senator Edward M. Kennedy and Salt Lake City Mayor Ross C. Anderson.

The LULAC site. But they aren't totally alone - via an unofficial Duncan Hunter website, here's Mike Huckabee basically advocating open borders at a LULAC event in 2005. Exit Question: With alleged arch-conservatives Huckabee and McCain running for the GOP nod, how is it that Teddy K. was left out? They appear to run in the same circles and receive awards from the same crowds?

“I would hope that no matter who we are, or where we are from, that America should always be a place that opens its arms, opens it heart, opens its spirit to people who come because they want the best for their families …,” Huckabee said as the largely Hispanic audience gave him a standing ovation.

“Pretty soon, Southern white guys like me may be in the minority,” Huckabee said jokingly as the crowd roared in laughter.

Huckabee was the keynote speaker, along with Tyson Foods Inc. Chairman and CEO John Tyson, at a noon luncheon of the League of United Latin American Citizens, which is holding its 76th annual convention in Little Rock.

About 10,000 political, community and business leaders, along with exhibitors and speakers are in Little Rock attending the convention at the Statehouse Convention Center. The convention started Monday and runs through Saturday.

Although he never actually talked about the U.S. or Arkansas immigration policy, Huckabee made it very clear where he stood on the issue. In his opening remarks, he said the nation will need to address the concerns of the Hispanic community because of its growing influence and population base.

ROFL

so you're against McCain because he's sensible on tax policy (doesn't like the record deficits you guys have been so fond of these past years).

You're against McCain because he's sensible on immigration. Not dumb like Malkin, Tancredo et al. "SEND EM BACK HOME!!1!!!"

You're against McCain because he's against torture, which is also sensible. Not that a winger would ever understand any of this. The great part about being a winger is never having to be affected by all your own mistakes (Iraq, troubled economy, disastrous foreign policy, etc.)

LOL, you're a Democratic, it really isn't any of your damn business who the Republicanics nominate. Why aren't you helping your favorite socialist candidate instead of sticking your nose where it doesn't belong?

In the age of Bush and the Epically Bad Policy Decisions, why would Republicans settle for anything less than complete incompetence. McCain clearly fails to rise to that standard, or he wouldn't be winning such a high percentage of the independent and liberal "reality based" terror-lover vote.

But after reading Dan's insightful commentary, I can't help but wonder if McCain or Huckabee was involved in Chappaquiddick. Looks awful suspicious to me.
