Puerto Rican reaggaetonero Daddy Yankee backed with Republican presidential hopeful John McCain during a campaign appearance this morning in Arizona.
Don't believe me? Then watch this:
As one could see in the above video, the musician briefly commented that McCain has always been “a fighter for the Hispanic community… a fighter for the immigration issue.” McCain, in turn praised “Ramon” for being married fifteen years and for “making the right choices” in his youth.
Both men met earlier this month in private with Yankee not committing to an endorsement. Yet McCain spokeswoman Hessy Fernandez said that the meeting proved that “John McCain is someone who can appeal to anybody.”
The locale for today’s event “was carefully chosen” according to Politico since Central High School is the largest high school in Phoenix whose student body is 75% Latino.
Mercifully, neither performed a duet of “Gasolina” though who knows if that’s not in the works for next week’s Republican National Convention. (If Ricky Martin can perform for a dancing George W. Bush at the 2001 inauguration ball then anything’s possible!)

So, Daddy Yankee supports McCain because of his stance on immigration? LOL…the Reggaeton artist is Puerto Rican, so he doesn’t have to worry about being deported, now does he??? If you want to know why the young INTELLIGENT Latinos support Obama then read this Open Letter of Support for Obama from scores of high profile young Hispanics: http://www.gaysofla.com/content/view/248/51/
First he used ads featuring Paris Hilton and Britney Spears to show how ‘shallow’ Obama is and now he’s using a raunchy Latino Rapper to sway the Young Hispanic Vote. Is this old man serious? Is he being advised by total idiots???
I am really drawing a blank on what exactly about McCain's immigration policy is so beneficial to Latinos.
this fool bouricua, crack head, supports this fool mccain to keep the coke flowing in competition with FARC everyone knows haliburton-dyncorp-bilarybush has the other 60% biz
probably still into Mena and definitely into Arizona,
daddy yankee punk probably drinks budweiser, rice and 1200 chemicals makes you real stupid
that is why he acts like an ignorant redneck but he is just only a puerto rican
again, this old fool should shoot himself now...
Highest praise for Daddy Yankee- he is taking a risk and is brave to stand up to those who will attack him in the news and music media industry..I have worked in the media industry for 20 years, and have watched how overwhelmingly to the left it leans. I will never go back to the Democrat party- they only taught me to be an angry victim- this will never happen again.
I live in Arizona, the same State that Senator McCain represents right? Here we have propositions by a neo nazist Republican trying to impose us to speak English (I am bilingual but I have the right to speak Spanish when I please..don't i), to show id in every government institution etc.Also, some Republicans do profiling in their jobs. I tell you what it is going on in Arizona. In Arizona, there are latins that are afraid of speak Spanish....Latins that do not want to say where they come from!!!
This is our Attorney General
