There is currently a Bedava mp3 indirbig flap about the placement of another bridge across the Colorado River at Laughlin, NV/Bullhead City, AZ.sohbet The most logical choice of location is close to being eliminated because, as the local papers have learned but will not print, our good Senator own property on the Nevada side that will garner him mucho dinero when the most expensive and impracticcetal site for the bridge is chosen.

Well… they do mean 2 different things altogether, but I think it can be attributed to incompetence during the translation, not to malice.

And the two phrases with the verb “Crecer” are badly constructed, too, and the verb has far better synonims to use in that context. So much for reaching the Spanish speaking segment, with so many mistakes in a short ad.

Great idea – each side gets the story McSame needs to push . . . kinda like any Anglo shopping in a third world market . . . “Koo media kaa kaa? Hummmm, Honey, that must mean it comes in medium only?”

Wait, McCain speaks English in an ad with Spanish subtitles?

I wonder what the English-only-or-they-won’t-assimilate xenophobic Republican voters have to say about that.

However, I’m not dense enough to do something like this.

Color me dense I suppose, but I’m not getting the meaning of this post.

Hopefully there is someone in the Hispanic press corp who is pointing this out ?

…But because McCain’s immigration position has flip-flopped-flipped, the evidence suggests deliberate deception…

This is hardly the “maverick’s” first flip-flop or deception. On the torture bill, McCain proudly proclaims his opposition on torture and yet knowingly allows language in the bill that exempts the CIA from its restrictions and is completely silent about Bush’s signing statement declaring in essence that he’ll torture anyone he damn well pleases.

I could have expected TP to think a juxtaposed word matters, when both phrases mean the same, meaningless thing.

And, it’s interesting that TP pretends McCain doesn’t support “reform”, when he clearly does. Why does he support that? Because he’s corrupt, which is also the same reason the Dem leadership supports it.

McCain and Republicans to Hispanic voters: “We don’t like you, but please vote for us, anyway.” Hell, “We don’t like you, but please vote for us, anyway” is what Republicans are saying to ALL Americans.

Flip flop? Of course not. Of course.

I think ThinkProgress is making too much of this. And it’s giving McCain too much credit for being a flip flopper. His campaign is just not that clever. It’s just your run of the mill political ad with hollow promises.

Wow, the instant flipflop! no more waiting around a few days for a stumbling clarification by a spoke-person. We need a new word for this, Flupe? Fliop? Mccain?
