John McCain gets away with his slippery, open-borders talk again
Michelle Malkin.com ^ | 05/08/2008 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 05/08/2008 5:57:15 PM PDT by KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle

John McCain appeared in the “No-Spin Zone” tonight–and spun, spun, spun his way through a few, scant, superficial questions about immigration.

Asked whether he would do anything about illegal alien sanctuary cities, he shrugged off the question by muttering that “of course” he didn’t approve of them (but was silent on taking any proactive measures to cut off their funding). Having dispensed with that, McCain then quickly gave his new slippery, flip-flop formulation about how we need to “secure the borders” AND have “comprehensive immigration enforcement/” “temporary guest work plan” (translation: amnesty) and “deal with the 12 million people already here” (translation: give them amnesty, DREAM Act, sanctuary, driver’s licenses, bank accounts, home loans, etc., etc., etc).

No questions about his decision to speak to La Raza/The Race in July.

No questions about his open-borders radical Hispanic outreach director and Cinco de Mayo money man, Juan Hernandez.

No questions about his anti-assimilationist campaign finance co-chair, Jerry Perenchio.

And no questions about how McCain would deal with heinous crimes like this.

Geraldo Rivera approves.

You kidding me? At this point, I'm just pathetically grateful whenever he passes on the opportunity to drop trou and show us all where Vicente Fox bit him. ;)

McLame’s retreat to the ‘comprehensive reform’ agenda that he espoused a year ago is disheartening, at best.

His appearance on O’Reilly, tonight, was a huge disappointment, and sadly...I may have to vote third party or write-in, this year.

His stance on petroleum exploring/drilling, along with this criminal stand on illegal immigration make him the wrong guy for the job.

Add in his desire to institute a Carbon Cap-and-Trade system that will destroy our economy and he goes from a disappointment to downright lousy.

There's absolutely no point whatsoever in attempting to discern any sane or rational motivation(s) in the behavior of someone as demonstrably addled as Juan McCain. It'd be like trying to nail a fried egg to the wall, or discussing Boolean algebra with Paula Abdul. ;)

The only way to deal with McQueeg on immigration if he becomes POTUS is to make sure he never has the chance to sign an amnesty bill (per tagline).

I don’t think McCain will win the election. If he does, I won’t spend my time complaining for four years. I’ll ignore him and support my reps and senators, both federal and state.

No, he just thinks that conservatives will vote for him no matter what he does that is non-conservative.

He has been running left ever since the 2000 election.

One could almost surmise that his behavior is that of a bitter person angry with Pro-life, 2nd amendment, and other groups that turned on him in the 2000 election and backed Bush.

Ever since then, he has taken every oppurtunity to stick Conservative's in the eye.

I also beleive that McCain doesn't care about the GOP or conservatives, or this country.

McCain has an obsession to be President and he will do anything to make that happen including throwing away his conservative principles, which has done on multiple occasion and quite possibly selling his soul if necessary.

Here’s another one:

MCSO: Illegal Immigrant Rapes, Impregnates Girl, 11
May 2, 2008

RAINBOW VALLEY, Ariz. — An 18-year-old illegal immigrant has been arrested in connection with the rape of an 11-year-old girl, Maricopa County sheriff’s deputies said.

I watched this interview, more Friday night, at this ponit he makes me sick and I will not be giving him mpney or cast a vote for him.

He also said he will not drill in ANWAR, basically the country is screwed.

And even if I did vote for him hewill still loose by landslide numbers.

He really is an idiot

I can’t imagine mccain winning, he is going to lose the looks contest, babmi has all the youth and black vote.
I don’t trust mccain anymore than bambi or hill.
At least Hill would pander to the middle.

It's possible...but I ain't betting on it.

McCain, I believe as evidenced by his behavior as an adult, has oppositional behavior disorder. As nutz as he is, he’s not insane, just twisted.

It is more important to him to be oppositional than it is to help himself, or anyone else.

And on the radio today O'Reilly was reassuring listener after listener on how tough he was going to be on the immigration questions, including the La Raza convention ...uh huh, sounds like a real muscular interview... As far as McCain, let's hope there is a good VP choice, the last vestige of hope I see.

If he does that, he won't be able to get Loonie back on his show if he does somehow weasel his way into the White House.

Why do you think he spent two days stroking kosovo rose?

Oh'Really isn't going to risk losing access to them. He's going to look out for number one.

Rush was saying today that as part of Operation Chaos, one of his tasks will be to have Republicans CROSS THE AISLE to vote for McCain.

It was so good on so many levels.

I disagree in part...McCain’s goal is not just self-aggrandizement...he has an agenda that is the same as the Democrats...to unite the continent economically and socially, and financially. The leadership of both parties wants a NAU and open borders.

We can always undo tax policy or other social policies if need be, but we can never undo the damage to this nation from an open borders policy.

Get used to it all...you will never be given the opportunity to vote for a candidate for President that will maintain the integrity of the nation. They will never permit the rules to allow us all to vote on the same day, so that by the time we are allowed to vote, the opposition will have faded away, just like earlier this election cycle.

I have never, and will never, have a chance to vote for the candidate of my choice, as is the case with nearly all of the rest of the country.

Some Democracy...some vote...pick sock puppet one or sock puppet two.
