Senator McCain, by his own admission, has backed away from this proposal. He supports building a wall and says that the borders must be secured first - and remember he will have a totally different constituency as President than as a maverick senator from Arizona. And don’t forget that even in a Democratic Congress, President Bush who supported McCain’s proposal, couldn’t get it passed.
And is this his only yardstick of conservatism? The man is not running as a maverick but as a CONSERVATIVE! You guys treat Mitt Romney (who in late 2005 was rated by NRO as one of America’s top 10 RINOs - and McCain wasn’t on that list) as a conservative savior, but you seem to forget that he’s flip-flopped on almost everything.
What about the fact that Mr. McCain openly supports overturning Roe v. Wade, opposes gay rights (pretty consistent record on that in the Senate), openly now supports extending the tax cuts and is probably the most pro-military and pro-Iraq candidate running? How on earth does this make him equal to Hillary Clinton?
Conservatives who suffer angst over Mr. McCain, please get over yourselves. We all have a pretty good idea of what’s going to happen tomorrow and it would serve everyone better if we, rather than cut our noses off to spite our faces (like Ann Coulter), let’s rather put conservative pressure on Senator McCain to honor his conservative promises as President. If you’re willing to give RINO Romney a chance, you should also be willing to John McCain a chance, too.
Hmmm, by his own admission, even. Well, that settles it. I'm for McCain.
Actually, last week, by his own admission, McCain said he would sign McCain-Kennedy Amnesty Act, if Congress put it on his desk as President.
Second, John McCain has as his Hispanic Outreach Director, one Dr. Juan Hernandez. Go over to MichelleMalkin.com to learn all about Dr. Hernandez. Let's just say, Dr. Hernandez isn't exactly for securing the border.
Third, John McCain says he saw the light about securing the borders about 6 months ago. What has he done to secure the border as a major, powerful, Senator, with feet on both sides of the aisle and great relationships with such luminaries as Teddy Kennedy, Russ Feingold, Joe Lieberman and John Edwards? What has he done?
So, you're going to believe John McCain or your lying eyes?
If McCain-Kennedy is enacted, the rest doesn’t matter. It’s game over for America, welcome to Mexamerica and its first Presidente Juan McCain.
