Senator McCain Changes His Mind About Mexican Border (FLIP FLOP ALERT) (NOT APRIL FOOL'S JOKE)
Fox ^ | 2010-04-01

Posted on 04/01/2010 7:38:50 AM PDT by rabscuttle385

In May 2001, we went to Phoenix, Arizona, to report on the porous Southern border. As part of that program, I interviewed Sen. John McCain and told him that the only way the border could be secured was to use U.S. troops. The senator disagreed:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, R-ARIZ.: I do not favor using troops because they are not trained for it. They don't have the kind of qualifications necessary. I have strongly favored us using all the technical equipment that our military has including satellites, including aircraft and other technical means.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

Well now Mr. McCain has changed his mind, finally. But it took a terrible tragedy.

Arizona rancher Robert Krentz, 58, was found shot to death on his own property. Mr. Krentz leaves behind a wife, three kids and two grandchildren. His family had been ranching in Arizona since 1907.

Police suspect the murder was committed by an illegal alien who then fled back to Mexico. Authorities say they followed the man's footprints for about 20 miles until the trail stopped at the border.

“The only difference is whether we have to deal with another six years of his RINO treachery or whether it’s limited to six months.”

McCain is capable of inflicting a good deal of damage in 6 months.

It's a miracle! John McLame mysteriously changes his stance during an election year.

Hmmm.... *ponder*

Not if conservatives regain solid control of at least one of the houses of Congress.

This statement needs to go viral, especially on the articles posted yesterday where he was calling for troops on the border.

PLEASE, Arizona,get rid of this man!

This was from Bill O’reilly??? Wow...Rob Krentz may go down as the martyr who woke people up to this threat.

O’REILLY: After much study and thought, I have come to the conclusion that the military has to secure the Mexican border. One of the mandates of the federal government is to provide security for American citizens from outside forces.

Someone have/find the editorial cartoon of...

Man, I looked through more than 50 pages of images/McCain cartoons and couldn't find it. That was a classic though.

Congress pushes bill to improve health care…in Mexico! McCain strikes again!

What would Americans think, then, of a member of Congress who introduced legislation, not to improve health care in the United States, but to improve health care in Mexico?Insane? Drunk? Unworthy of public office?

What would Americans think, then, of a bill introduced in Congress that required federal agencies to come up with a plan, not to expand health coverage in the United States, but to expand health coverage in Mexico? Impossible? Unthinkable? Wildly irresponsible?

What would Americans think, then, of the motives of a senator, who not only introduced a bill to improve Mexico’s health care system andextend coverage to a growing population of 120 million people, but gave health insurance companies the right to help devise the plan?Blatantly corrupt? Grossly indifferent to the well-being of the American people? Downright treasonous?

Unbelievable as it may seem, the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act of 2005 contained a provision giving insurance companies the right to help devise a plan for extending US health care to Mexico (Sec. 1004. BINATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE AND HEALTH INSURANCE).

Even more unbelievable, the senator who sponsored the bill is not on the verge of being thrown out of office for this odious piece of legislation. No, the senator who introduced the bill, Senator John McCain of Arizona, was on the verge of locking up the Republican nomination to be our next president

Sick joke, what does that say about those who put him there? And he was the heir to Goldwater.

O’Reilly will help McCain. Just watch. I despise the man.

Well, JD has almost raised the $1,000,000 in his Million Dollar March. I hope they are preparing many of these great McCain flip flops for TV and radio commercials to be run at the most effective time. There must be a couple dozen showing Juan’s duplicity and flip flops on amnesty and border security alone.

Juan hasn’t “changed his mind.” He still wants to turn 40 million illegal alien Mexicans into democrat voters and welfare recipients as he believes they will support him as a result. It’s called selling out the nation and the American people for one’s own self interest. Juan is pulling the “I’m a conservative” BS because he has a tough primary fight this year...one with a real conservative.
