RNC Launches New Radio Ad: 'Commitment v. Rhetoric'

The Republican National Committee (RNC) today announced a new Spanish-language
radio advertisement, titled "Commitment v. Rhetoric." As the Democrats prepare
for their national convention in Denver, the radio ad will remind voters that
Barack Obama has consistently shown a lack of leadership in defending the
interests of the Latino community, while John McCain has consistently taken on
the difficult issues facing America.

statewide in CO, including Denver, Colorado Springs/Pueblo, Aspen, and Fort
Collins/Greeley. The ad will also air in Albuquerque and Las Cruces, New
Mexico; Las Vegas, Nevada; and El Paso, Texas.

Title: "Commitment V. Rhetoric"

How do you know someone is a friend?

You know because they stand up and defend you when it is hard.

When Hispanics needed a friend in Congress during the immigration debate...
Who stood up? Who spoke out?

John McCain.

Senator McCain worked with Republicans and Democrats alike to form immigration
legislation.

And while the bill didn't pass, only McCain demonstrated a real commitment to
reforming immigration in a way that honored our laws as well as our immigrants
and traditions.

And Barack Obama?

Obama did not stand up. Obama did not speak out. And when the time came for
him to do the right thing, he did not.

Obama supported measures designed to insert a deadly "poison pill" to kill the
immigration legislation.

If Obama didn't even have the courage to stand up for immigrants, how can he
claim to have the strength to change the way Washington works?

John McCain is ready to lead. Barack Obama is not.
