Seems that Fat Joe is still fuming that Daddy Yankee has officially endorsed John McCain for President.
The fat one has challenged Daddy to a battle…but not a lyrical rap one.
He wants to debate him! As in politics!
Joe said:
“If he debates me about politics, he will never talk another word about a politician for the rest of his life.”

It’s real upsetting to me that we have been stigmatized by our own people to vote Democratic just because we are latino or black. Every citizen had there own judgment and issue(s) that is most important to us. If Obama most important issues were important to me and my family then I would vote for him but they are not - and my issues are not Pro Choice or Life or accomodating the middle class; fyi - I don’t come from money but I sure work my ass off for it and pay enough taxes as is.
All these celebrities including Fat Joe (celeb in his hood) benefit from a liberal democratic president because their freebies, i.e. avoiding the IRS, will not get scrutinized and who ends ups paying for that - we do and will when are taxes are raised. Sorry but I wish not to stay poor forever. and if Fat joe can debate in an articulate, polished with dead on FACTS then by all means FAT JOE JOE preach on until then just keep rapping.

Celebrities, regardless of their political affiliation, just need to do what they do best and stay out of politics!

A debate to see who’s actually doing for publicity and who really knows their sh1t is the best way (in this case) to get this over with.
I don’t know about Fat Joe, but I feel like Daddy Yankee knows nothing about politics. McCain just talked to him and convinced him and he didn’t even meet with Obama.

Yadira-Did Fat Joe meet with McCain to hear him out? How about all of the other celebrities that are voting for Obama? Did they at least meet with McCain and hear what he has planned?
Why should Daddy Yankee meet with Obama when most celebs, including Fat Joe, who are voting for Obama didn’t meet with John McCain?

To Republican Latina over here,
you have to be kidding me, you say you work hard for your money? how about getting educated about the facts, Obama want’s to cut taxes for everyone who makes less than 250,000 dollars lol you have to be retarded to think that Mc Cain Cares about any Latinos. Oh and by the way if you make more than 250,000 the you taxes will be raised to pre bush levels, oh no that will take all of our money even though I highly doubt you make 250,000 a year anyway…

It’s a shame that Latinos are being fooled by McCain cause they like Daddy Yankee’s music better. The fact of the matter is that McCain will raise taxes for “Us” Latinos and continue to support wars in other countries…while we kill each other in the states and in the islands. He will NEVER help Puerto Rican people……NEVER. If you think that you’re rich. If you want a politician to change puerto rico help make it a state so Puerto Rican people on the ISLAND can have a say in the electoral college. I am glad Yankee even has an opinion however its a shame that comments on this site are about Joe’s music and not his views. Everyone including fat Joe will not receive the tax benefits Daddy Yankee receives and neither will anyone on this message board. Do your homework latinos…Mexican Americans believed the Bush Doctrine and look what happened. Do the knowledge Please or else we will all be paying more money for less while we work harder. I don’t understand how this many people are being fooled by McCain, Palin and now Yankee. Rich people look out for rich people….c’mon!
DESPIERTA AMERICA!

Okay.
For some of you who claimed that they ‘have’ the facts? Well here’s one that none of you have- and it’s the most important, yet sad one to know:
Taxes INCREASE each and everytime someone becomes President. That’s been a part of history since the beginning of this country’s growth.
So with all the ‘tax cuts’ or ‘tax breaks’ or whatever everyone is talking about? Think again.. we ALL are gonna suffer from an increase in taxes.
Isaias- what do you mean by the mexicans believed in the bush doctrine? the majority of mexicans that live out here on the west, and believe me- they didn’t. If there are ice raids going on in the west, do you honestly believe that the mexicans are going to be supporting that while Bush was trying to put a fence at the southern border?

Eric,
You said, “So with all the ‘tax cuts’ or ‘tax breaks’ or whatever everyone is talking about? Think again.. ”
I’m sorry Eric you should double check the facts instead of your opinion, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/06/09/ST2008060900950.html
This website clearly states what tax bracket will get a break and which bracket will get raised…if you choose to READ that website then you will see that All the people make OVER 2.87 million dollars will receive the largest tax break under McCain’s plan. While under Obama’s plan people who make 18k and under will receive the biggest tax break under Obama. Although you are right that every President will raise taxes it matters what tax bracket that affects. I don’t know too many latinos or blacks, or minorities that make that much.
CHECK the FACTS!

Eric,
Please don’t take this personally but I found yet another article you should read about Mexican/Latinos supporting George Bush. I just want mi gente to be educated by the facts and not by Reggaeton at least when it comes to voting.

I just finished reading the article that you’ve displayed in your last reply, and I honestly believe that if anything positive is supposed to come out of this- then it should be the unification of latinos and blacks- and everyone else that are like-minded regardless of color. because if we choose to just ’support our people’, then a lot of things will never be done, which will create goals being accomplished at a snail’s pace.
for example- think about the MLK march. Yea the march was predominantly black members, but it also consisted of hispanics, asians, and whites who felt the exact same way. that march was also successful because of those that were not black.
and what about those who voted for JFK? He wouldn’t have been president if it wasnt for those who believed in him claiming that ‘all men are created equal’- LITERALLY, and him being a very strong advocate for womens’ rights.
Everyone has to come together, regardless of cultural differences, but throughout history there has always been a deep connection among the blacks and hispanics, and if we can deepen that connection we can become an ultimate force- and people will HAVE to hear us.
So yea, its alright to educate ‘your people’, but all im saying is that all people are ‘mi gente’- especially the like-minded individuals, regardless of the differences we have in regards to the ‘labels’ we are connected to.
