Martinez scores at Versailles (the blog)
Versailles Beat, a conservative blog, has made what it acknowledges is a surprise endorsement in the clash of the Titans, backing Democrat Raul Martinez over incumbent Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart.
"Go ahead, punch yourself now to make sure you're not dreaming. You're not," wrote blogger Pepe Pena. "I am supporting Raúl Martínez for two main reasons: Raúl was an effective Mayor, and Lincoln was an ineffective Republican congressman."
Yowza. 
"The Washington Post reported in 1988 that John McCain had sent his own money to the Nicaraguan terrorist organization known as 'contras.'
What AP reported yesterday is that now many writers are investigating John McCain's support of a right-wing organization that sent arms to the Nicaraguan terrorists.
The contras targeted and killed both Ben Linder, an American volunteer engineer in Nicaragua, and an American nun Sister Maureen Courtney.
McCain visited the contra camps illegally less than five months after the contras killed Ben Linder of Portland, Oregon, and the contras killed Sister Maureen Courtney just three years after McCain made his friendly visit to the child-raping, civilian-castrating terrorists.
After McCain returned from his friendly visit with the contras, he lobbied the Reagan Administration to boost funding and arms to the contras.
The contra terrorists killed tens of thousands of civilians in order to maintain their control over the rural, farming communities in their region."
It seems to me that McCain should worry more about the great plank in his eye that the mote of dust in Obama's.

Hey, Tim, even if it's true that McCain has links to the Nicaraguan Contras, I would much rather have a president with links to an anti-communist group rather than an anti-American, pro-communist group like Obama's friends Ayers and his weathermen.

Yo soy Republicano y apoyo a Raul Martinez.
Translation: I am a Republican and support Raul Martinez.
Their are a lot of us who are doing so albeit it privately.

I wonder why you need to support Raul privately if you are proud of that support?

Probably because he's afraid Lincoln will send his mob after him and make him disappear just like they are doing to all of Raul's campaign signs.

Mayor Robaina has done a better job in Hialeah than Martinez ever did in a fraction of the time Martinez spent in office and without any scandal.
Hialeah and Mr. Robaina do not support Martinez, the polls, I predict will show this fact.
