Daddy Yankee has said his support is at least partly due to McCain's support for "comprehensive immigration reform" (amnesty).  If McCain continues to take Conservative voters for granted like this while Hillary supporters give up and go with Obama, he will be waking up at 3:00 a.m. on November 5th, a bitter, beaten old man.

Gee, McBush actually *LIKES* the endorsement of a guy whose popular song celebrates teenage sex.  Countdown until he's required to "renounce and reject" by the TradMed... (Why do I hear crickets?)

“I have no idea where this rumor came from,” Nevarez told FOX News. “The musician and his camp never approached or in anyway asked the Obama campaign about a possible endorsement.”

So they're not denying that the guy sings about the glories of (and fluids produced by) teenage sex, and has an assault charge pending.  Just that they wanted to endorse Obama.  Maybe Obama wasn't liberal enough for them, so they went with McBush instead.  Bet *HE* could tell some stories about teenage sexual fluids.

Daddy Yankee not supporting Obama?

Well.......there goes the election.

Next thing ya know, Vanilla Ice will be supporting McCain too.

McCain is a solid rapper in his own right

Megastar, huh?  Like Justin Timberlake, or Mariah Carey, or Beyonce, huh? 

Funny, I've never heard of him.  Sounds like he's basking in McCain's reflective glare and trying to capitalize on any "trickle-down" fame that might come his way.

I've wondered where you've been, BS.  Out "rollin with the homies" I suppose.

I cannot stand Daddy Yankee. He is the reason I don't listen to any local radio station. Anyone who would vote for a president based on his endorsement is an idiot anyway.

Fact Check: Latest McSame Campaign Ad Dishonest

In fact, it's an outright lie about Obama.

Anyone who would vote for a president based on his endorsement is an idiot anyway

Anyone who votes for a candidate based upon someone else's endorsement is an idiot regardless of party affiliation.

Daddy Yankee huh. I guess he's got the 16 year old girl vote locked up.

This could turn out to be another McSame self-inflicted wound:

McCain seemed less than aware, however, of the impact Ayala's endorsement could have on women's votes, given the sexual, misogynistic and violent themes found in some of the musician/actor's work. The timing of this endorsement is especially questionable given McCain's strenuous efforts to recruit women's votes during this Democratic Convention week, as Republican operatives work diligently to win over disaffected Hillary Clinton supporters.

A typical Daddy Yankee lyric, "Papi dame lo que quiero," translates as, "Daddy, give me the thing I want." He "plays" a DJ in one of the violent "Grand Theft Auto" video games; has acted in extremely violent movies; and his production company's website opens with graphics of handguns and the sound of loud, realistic gunfire.

Misogyny, in particular, is a recurring issue for reggaeton in general and Ayala in particular. In 2002, a prominent Puerto Rican politician active in women's rights, Velda Gonzalez, led a crusade against reggaeton, holding public hearings that, as Frances Negron-Muntaner and Raquel Z. Rivera report, were aimed at regulating reggaeton's lyrics and the dance moves that accompany it, known as el perreo, or "doggy-style dance," in which dancers grind against each other .... Using her reputation as a champion of women's rights, Gonzalez chastised reggaeton for its "dirty lyrics and videos full of erotic movements where girls dance virtually naked," and for promoting perreo, which she called a "triggering factor for criminal acts."

In 2006, Rivera, a sociologist who is an expert in the history of reggaeton, wrote that the genre's early lyrics were "not just explicit, but violently explicit" and "extremely misogynistic."

But many of their criticisms remain valid -- and Ayala's signature song "La Gasolina," which McCain referred to in introducing Ayala to the high school students yesterday, is a good case in point. Its music video features fast cars, but also gyrating, scantily clad women touching themselves suggestively. The song's Spanish lyrics are laden with double and triple entendres based on Puerto Rican slang that range from the humorous to the pornographic. For example, the song's title "Gasolina" -- gasoline -- can also refer to alcohol -- or semen. The song's recurring lyric -- "a ella le gusta la gasolina" ("she loves the gasoline") -- therefore refers simultaneously to a girl who likes to ride around in boys' cars; a girl who enjoys dressing up and going to rum-fueled parties with fancy cars and sexy dancing; and a girl who enjoys vigorous sex and craves both her own and her lover's climaxes. One lyric uses the word "zumbale" ("rag him") or "sumale" ("add him"), but those are rough homonyms for "subele" ("raise him"). Later, the lyric continues:

Get ready to catch what's coming (hard!)
Little mama I know you're not going to leave me (hard!)
It pleases me that you like to be taken away (hard!) ...
She likes gasoline (woman: "give me more gasoline!")
How she loves gasoline (woman: "give me more gasoline!")

When questioned about the song's lyrics today, McCain answered wryly that the song referred to "energy independence." But, as The Caucus' Michael Cooper neatly pointed out, the song has little to do with offshore drilling.

The message McCain is communicating by embracing "Daddy Yankee" in front of adolescent Latinas, in Arizona and elsewhere (the two flew off together in McCain's campaign plane) is decidedly mixed. What place does a misogynistic message about the attractions of shallow, flashy-dressing, oversexed, promiscuous young women have in the campaign of an assertively pro-life candidate who is working desperately to sell himself as strong on family values and sensitive to women's issues? McCain is wooing one narrow demographic group, in the hope that other voters, with different priorities, won't be paying enough attention to see the hypocrisy.

"McCain is wooing one narrow demographic group, in the hope that other voters, with different priorities, won't be paying enough attention to see the hypocrisy."

Pretty typical of McCain.

No, you guys got it all wrong, this makes McCain "with it" and "boss", "far out and solid", and any of another number of 1960s slang. He's "down" with his homie. In fact, I think he even said don't trust anyone over 90.

 But, as The Caucus' Michael Cooper neatly pointed out, the song has little to do with offshore drilling.

How about if it's at the beach?  They could wade out a little bit and folks won't be able to tell they're drilling.  Besides, that's what the oil companies are trying to do to the rest of us, anyway.  I just wish they'd buy me dinner first.

Daddy Who?

Honestly, who cares?

McCain is ignorant enough to think that "gasolina" is about gasoline. He believes that he just got an endorsement for his off-shore drilling plan from the nuclear power plant Connecticut Yankee.

And Pelosi thinks nat gas is not a fossil fuel..................... Much more indicative of ignorance than your lame refs.................which BTW were not only lame but untrue..............

Is her next contention that CH4 is not carbon based?

I saw the Daddy Yankee segment. It certainly won't hurt McCain any; whether or not it will help remains to be seen.

Random, underage sex is part of Latino culture, and, as you well know, minority cultures trump federal and state laws made by racist whites...

Of Coors Barry will win. Heck,  Madonna, Michael Jackson, or Michael Moore could win in this climate.

Its sad what this country has become -- when you either vote for an empty suit and let people run our energy policy who think natural gas is not a fossil fuel or you are an uncaring racist........................

When the Messiauhhhhh does his thing tonight and lifts his temple to the heavens, the pinheads will be fully in the  "Olbermann throws of schoolboy(and girl) giddiness" and will robotically pull the lever or punch the hole or hit touchscreen for  "the one" as they are told to do by their  "white guilt" casting aside all objectivity to that nativistic instinct to just be  "a good person".

What a pantload

Or.......McCain will win and armageddon can commence.

Speaking of carbon, has anyone done any carbon dating tests on Johnny?

John McCain is  "carbon free"

It won't work

He has to actually purchase carbon  "onsets" in order to make a footprint.................

it has something to do with Hanoi........

Damn commies!

I don't think either Harry Ried or McCain probably has enough Carbon intact to register on a Carbon Dating test.

But we'd have to consult the experts on Carbon, either Nancy P or Al G................

I actually thnk we should ban carbon.

Oh wait............ the  "active"  ingredient in beer is C2H5OH as I recall

Never mind.......................

What a pantload

Don't be so hard on yourself, Chico.

I happen to believe private sexual behavior of that type *SHOULD* trump federal and state laws.  But I'm glad to hear McBush is a "hep cat," as the kids say nowadays.

I didn't mean to offend you RF. In future I'll try to refrain from utilizing terms that might describe your carefully crafted personna so well.....................

Thanks.  I'm especially proud of my racing stripes.
