McCain opposed the DREAM Act as payback for Latinos “abandoning” him in 2008

[kpete]

Woods said "it hurts" McCain to vote against legislation like the Dream Act after years of working on reform but said the senator felt betrayed when Latinos overwhelmingly supported Obama in 2008. "When you carry that fight at great sacrifice year after year and then you are abandoned during the biggest fight of your life, it has to have some sort of effect on you," he said.

5. Fuck cheap labor Republicans and their phony pandering anyway.

It has NEVER been about immigrant rights for them. They pretend to care about human rights but all they really care about is cheap labor for their corporate donors.

Ever since he lost the election in 2008 he's been acting like a pissy whiny baby. He has proven over and over again that he is not fit for that office.

14. He just can't believe that not everyone worships Teh Maverick.

Most normal politicians try to actually win back the folks who've stopped supporting them...rather than using their elected positions to retaliate and settle scores. What a nutcase.

15. Sounds very much like a batterer

using the "Look at what you made me do" defense.
