Daddy Yankee Responds To Fat Joe

After three weeks with nothing said in response to Fat Joe calling him a sell-out for endorsing Republican Presidential candidate Senator John McCain, Daddy Yankee finally responds.

Let's first go back to what Fat Joe said shall we:

"I felt like I wanted to vomit when I seen that [Yankee had endored McCain]," Joe said. "The reason why I called him a sellout is because I feel he did that for a [publicity] look, rather than the issues that are affecting his people that look up to him. How could you want John McCain in office when George Bush and the Republicans already have half a million people losing their homes in foreclosure? We're fighting an unjust war. It's the Latinos and black kids up in the frontlines, fighting that war...We over here trying to take the troops out of Iraq and bring peace. This guy immediately wants war. If not with Iraq or Afghanistan, he'll start a new one with Iran. I feel real disgusted that Daddy Yankee would do that. Either he did that for a look, or he's just not educated on politics."

Yankee's support for John McCain is nothing short of odd and borderline dumb as hell. I know that we are all entitled to support whomever we choose to, but know your history about the person, don't just go off of what they are saying to promise. I love the mess out of Barack Obama, but I can only take his word with a grain of salt until he shows and proves.

Here is what Daddy Yankee had to say about his endorsement of Sen. McCain:

"A man does not sell out when he backs his ideals," Daddy Yankee told The New York Post. "I don't care who I piss off...This is about my ideals, not about making friends. Senator McCain is the kind of man whose promises you can actually believe in."

In Fat Joe's statement, he even challenged Yankee to a debate, and here is Yankee's response to that:

"Look, I'm not a politician. I am a man with ideals, and I think that el Senador McCain is the best candidate. I asked el senador point-blank about whether or not he will seriously help Puerto Rico and our veterans here, and he said, 'Yes. You endorse me, and I will do it.' I believe he will back up his word. I like his stance on immigration reform, that he works across party lines to help immigrants, that he agreed to take a look and help the dire situation of aid to the veterans of Puerto Rico," Yankee said. "It's not fair that Boricua soldiers die and fight in wars and don't get the same benefits as those on the mainland. I like that el senador agreed to take a serious look and help those kinds of issues affecting us on the island."

Poor thing. Talk about pulling the wool over someones eyes! Bless him Jesus!

I just can't believe that he is actually backing this guy this much. I'm wondering if they're paying him on the cool to get the Latino voters out for McCain. It won't be long before Yankee and every other minority that believes that John McCain has their best interests at heart realize the truth. McCain and the Republicans could give a good damn about Puerto Rico and any other impoverished hood.
