Via the Standard. This is what they’re going to do to pass the time in Congress between bailouts? Jerk around with a hot-button issue guaranteed to enrage all sides and exacerbate Democratic infighting while the economy’s melting down and the Iran nuclear clock ticks on? Why not toss social security onto the table too, just to really get the juices flowing?

Q: Will there be as much of a fight on immigration as last time?
A: We’ve got McCain and we’ve got a few others. I don’t expect much of a fight at all.

I hate John McCain. More than ever. He must be defeated in 2010.
The GOP should find someone good to run against mclame in Arizona.
Ted Kennedy’s amnesty, for the third time, guarantees a long-lasting Democrat majority.
I am generally not conspiracy minded, but you almost have to wonder if McCain agreed in advance to “take a dive” in this election.
There was a reason I was vehemently against John McCain on this website. I relented and supported him because of Sarah and the threat of Obama. I’m not sorry about Sarah, but I’ll be damned if I ever want to hear that asshole’s name again. I just wish that the people of Arizona would find a real conservative to represent them next time.
Someone needs to get Chambliss to say where he falls on this.........
O M G!!
No real surprise but we’re in DEEP GUANO here now.
Better learn Espanol!
“I am generally not conspiracy minded, but you almost have to wonder if McCain agreed in advance to “take a dive” in this election.”
Glad I’m not the only one. I told my husband I may need to fashion a tinfoil hat for myself with what I have been thinking.
I’ve wondered that too, especially considering the way he sandbagged Palin when she was helping his poll numbers by attacking Obama. I actually almost wonder if he’s a ‘rat agent provocateur at this point, because he helps the ‘rats more than he’s ever helped Republicans.
O and McLame are employed by the sme financier.
We need to fight this. Blue Dog Democrats in the house will have to think twice about this. They usually lose seats in off year elections.
I think Harry Reid is underestimating the resistance by the public.
Next time he “goes across the aisle” (should be about 5 minutes from now), I wish McWhacked would just stay there, switch parties, and declare himself a DemonKat. I’m series, what good is he to us in the Pubbie party?
Did you see McCain today saying Janet Napolitano was a great pick for Homeland Security? What a turd. Of course he likes her — the dyke is open border all the way.
He needs to be retired.
McCain should walk across the aisle and stay there!
I never voted for the bastard and I never will. I sort of wish I lived in Arizona in order to vote against him. We’re lost on immigration, though. We told them we would never support them if they pushed amnesty, and we just made McCain our candidate and gave Graham six more years. What good are our threats?
Harry Reid: We’ve got McCain and we’ve got a few others. I don’t expect much of a fight at all.
He hasn’t a single clue...
My sentiments exactly. I’m actually angry with myself for holding my nose and voting for the jerk, due only to Governor Palin’s presence on the ticket, and that he didn’t choose a pro-abortion running mate. That was my line in the sand as far as voting for him. I’ll never be blackmailed into voting for the “lesser of two evils” again, look what that got us.
Mccain was going to save us from Democrats just 1 month ago, remember?? Can you imagine him selling out each issue with R president name on it for 4 years?
I need a huge tinfoil hat, because I’ve casually wondered if President Bush’s recent actions (Paulson, bailout, leaving half the money for Obama to control) are “payback” for our opposition to his cherished amnesty.
Just read my tagline.
I think you’re correct. They know how most Americans feel, and they won’t quit pushing it, and they don’t even wait a decent amount of time to start again. We don’t have “representatives” anymore, they are coming out into the open with their arrogance and defying the will of the people, and it’s both sides. Both sides have their own reasons for supporting it.
Has McCain been bought by OSAMABAMA ?
Investigation anyone?
What can I say? You’re correct. Just another political lesson I’ve had to learn the hard way. I apologise to my fellow Americans (the half of them that didn’t wholeheartedly support the racist socialist in their blind selfishness).
John “Sonny Liston” McCain.
Next to the “Fairness Doctrine”, the most misleading phrase in today’s political lexicon is “comprehensive immigration reform” aka “amnesty” aka “open borders” aka “Democrat majorities as far as the eye can see”.
How did we get stuck with this guy?
I see they repaired the vacuum tube in his brain. He’s back to normal!
Don’t beat yourself up too badly. I couldn’t do it myself—especially after Palin pandered on illegal immigration to the Univision audience—but it got tempting towards the end with Obama as the other choice. I figured if McCain couldn’t win in Texas without my vote, he didn’t deserve to win at all. Maybe I would have done differently if I were in a battleground state, but I guess I’ll never know.
Been defending him to my moonbat family for almost 8 years and I’m done.
yes, we did our part and this is what we get.
And give them health care too I understand the democrat goal to pump up their voter rolls by another 15 million or so 3rd world people looking to be “taken care of” ...notwithstanding what that does to America
But jobs.... prove it to the legals who played by the rules. They will be the first ones bumped.
bttt
you think that’s scary? What will you shoot? A gun won’t protect you when everything is messed up.

You know, I had considered having you remove me from your ping list but I said, “No. It is good to have this information so I don’t suffer from any illusions, should McCain win.”
Thank you, rabscuttle385! Hopefully, you’ll expand this to a RINO-watch or something.
The guys in the family ( and my youngest girl) are the hunters. While I always left it up to them, it’s time the whole family helped to fill the freezers. ;)
I live in Mississippi where he would have won anyway, but it’s the principle of the thing, and that I’ve got to learn to stop blackmailed by scare tactics-look what happened anyway. And on that note, I didn’t know that about Palin pandering on illegal immigration-would you know if that’s her true stance, or she was just “reading” from McCain’s script, as being only the running mate?
And a tip of the fedora to GW Bush for help making it all possible by leaving our borders unguarded. Since he couldn't be a great GOP President, he'll have the distinction of being the last GOP President.
Here's a hint: McCain will be the one who gives The Democrats their veto-proof majority. The dems have only to win either MN or GA.
McCain loves to see his name in print and will be thrilled when the WAPO and NYT glowingly write about how he's grown and no longer a slave to partisanship.
This is the only information I have. She has four years to prove she was just being a team player, though it’ll probably be moot by then:

I finally feel at home. I thought republicans had gone nuts during campaign. McCain had little chances of winning barring a foreign policy crisis, and had zero chance after he soiled his pants on financial bailout. Think about this: in September he tried to run on “I’m not a republican I am a reformer” , the true McCain throwing fellow republicans running for office under bus. Suppose he had got lucky and won on Ayers with a dem majority? He would be so hated by dems he would cut deals left and right to get back in favor. He would divide our party for the next decade as he puts R brand on tax hikes, amnesty, etc. McCain and democrat majority? I think not!
Now that he lost, which he had to to save our party, he will have few R friends if he tries this crap.
I couldn’t believe when people were applauding his convention acceptance speech. All I heard was, “I’m going after the crooks, and I mean Republicans!” Every negative about Washington he mentioned, he made sure to lay at the feet of his own party. The election really was between a couple of Democrats.
RE: All I heard was, “I’m going after the crooks, and I mean Republicans!”
You got further than me, I couldnt watch him. He only dropped that crap when he found out it backfired. I too was warning freepers they would be sorry if he won. A few days before the election I dropped the issue because it was Obama hysteria. But I knew that McCain winning would only make things worse. And him losing would bring us together, after GWB is gone.
Actually, Obama acting moderate and reasonable and getting Repub support is our biggest threat (not as bad as having a Repub termite leader as president.) We really need BoB to act like the Chavis/Sheenan Moonbat that freepers were claiming he is, for us to launch an effective resistance and draw democrats to our side (voting no.)
You’re crazy. That sounds like something off of Rense.
What is “Rense”? I don’t watch much television. And I didn’t say that I believe it, I said it’s casually crossed my mind. Such things cross everybody’s mind, they’re only crazy when they don’t dismiss such thoughts and build upon them.
I’m getting a little tired of your snap judgements and snide remarks, so I think I’ll just ignore you until you learn some manners, and grow up and stop presuming to know all about me from comments taken out of context on a message board, when my life and family are nothing like you appear to have decided. Don’t waste your time posting to me if you can’t be civil, thanks.
