WASHINGTON: Senator John McCain told a major Hispanic group here Tuesday that he remained committed to passing the kind of immigration legislation that angered many Republican voters last year, but he underscored that he intended to first secure U.S. borders.
Speaking to the convention of the League of United Latin American Citizens, McCain noted his efforts to pass comprehensive immigration legislation, which was supported by President George W. Bush and such Democrats as Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts but which fell apart last year after an angry grass-roots movement that viewed it as tantamount to amnesty rose up to oppose its passage.

McShamnesty is a turd.
I think JUan would see the same grass roots movement, if he tries to sneak amnesty in again.. I really try and want to support this guy.... but he is making it difficult to say the least... next week he is in san diego eating tacos with LaRaza, a racist group.. check out their web site..
Voting for this guy is going to be an epic struggle. In my precinct we will be going back to optical scan (this is Palm Beach County - touch screens were not acceptable here!) devices and I think taking the pencil and drawing the dark line next to McCain’s name is going to leave me drenched in sweat.
How long until the McCain fanboys come to this thread in defense of their traitorous hero?
McCain does not deserve my vote, nor will he receive it.
In other words, he is against the will of the People. And he is a total liar on securing the borders. What else is new?
A vote for Obama is a 90% loser, a vote for McStain is a 75% loser.
What am I supposed to do?
I guess I'll vote for the 75% LOSER, as I puke....
The problem is, every Democrat will be for it. McCain won’t need one Republican vote to pass his bill. And on top of that, many Republicans will vote to support his bill.
Folks flatter themselves that they staved off the immigration bill last year. The truth is, McCain/Kennedy had all the votes it needed, McCain just didn’t want to push it with the election coming up the next year.
McCain will make sure every illegal in this nation is naturalized within three to five years. And when they are naturalized, there goes the chain migration.
We stand to gain 100 million new citizens within ten to twelve years. Poor, unable to speak read or write English, unable to support themselves... good luck citizens.
I don’t think Obama would get every thing he wants passed.
I think McCain would. And that’s where your 75% to 90% loser thing falls appart.
Who passes leftist policy easier, Obama or McCain?
Obama has the House and Senate Republicans to deal with.
McCain has them in his hip pocket, and the Democrats would support any leftist policy he lofted.
I still say McCain is the serious guy to fear. If he wins, there will be one party rule. It will be 75 to 90% for anything leftist John McCain submits to the House and Senate.
Can we just skip this election and move on to 2012?
The jerk just does not get it.
John, I hate, absolutely /hate/ that you’re continuing to pander over an issue that most every /citizen/ of these United States thinks should be handled by deportation. But, as much as I hate it, as much as I didn’t want you to be our nominee because of this issue and many others, the one thing you’re not is a flip-flopper. We knew where you stood, you still stand there, you moron, but you’re at least...consistent.
I don't know where you get that, and if I knew how to post it, I would throw you a bunny with a pancake on its head.
If someone were to stand right outside a polling place with a sign that read "FREE CLOTHESPINS" along with a bucket containing them, but neither said nor asked anything about any candidate, would that be considered "electioneering"?
Clinton 1993-1994 would be a good point of reference.
do tell
the other choice would be?
“We knew where you stood, you still stand there, you moron, but you’re at least...consistent.”
We need this moron like we need a heart arrack. (or a stroke)
“We knew where you stood, you still stand there, you moron, but you’re at least...consistent.”
Consistent is not a good thing when it comes to McCain. I’d much rather have a politician who is willing to learn from past mistakes or who is willing to listen to the people than a hard-left leaning but consistent Republican. Actually, I’d just call the latter stubborn.
