PHOENIX When Senator John McCain broke his silence Monday on his home states tough, new immigration enforcement bill, some immigrant advocates wished he had kept quiet and worried that he was backpedaling on what had been one of his signature bipartisan issues.
Perhaps more than anything these days, though, Senator McCains decision to endorse the measure as a good tool signals the rightward tilt of his party and his re-election battle with a conservative primary challenger.
In an interview with Bill OReilly on Fox News on Monday, Mr. McCain said: The state of Arizona is acting and doing what it feels it needs to do in light of the fact that the federal government is not fulfilling its fundamental responsibility to secure our borders.
He added that it would be regrettable if the legislation, which still needs Gov. Jane Brewers signature, led to racial profiling. But he said it was aimed at protecting people whose homes and property are being violated, drivers of cars with illegals in them that are intentionally causing accidents on the freeways.

I remember he walked into a room with us in June 2006 and said, They tell me my poll rate has plummeted over this, but Im a big boy, I can take it, Mr. Sharry said.
Tough stance against illegals? From McCaineddy? Who wrote this, The Onion!?
Notice how the liberal papers (Soros friends) keep trying to save McCain. Soros had his Daily Kos do a fake poll to try to make McCain look good.
No better Republican than McCain campaigning against another Republican. Now if we could just make Democrats disappear, JM would be the extreme right wing.
McCain is a Liar...and a bad Liar, too....
JD Hayworth is providing the spine for McCain. If McCain wins his senate seat expect the conservative spine to vanish and the reach across the aisle phase to begin.
McAmnesty is conservative for a 10 month period every six years.
McCain is a liar and an idiot. He is the Federal Government.
He is also scared to death of JD Hayworth. (as well he should be)
He’ll run as an independent if JD beats him!
McAmnesty is conservative for a 10 month period every six years.
***************************
as we well know elections DO have consequences.
Wonder what the offspringq would look like.
If he wins the primary he will go right back to supporting amnesty.
If he loses the primary he will really really really push amnesty hard until he is out of office.
And who belongs at or near the top of the list (in all of Congress) of those who've worked to make sure the federal government did not secure our borders?
If I said what I really think of this election year Juan McCain, I'd probably be banned and who knows what else.
This is all for show, trust me, McCain wants as many illegals to pour across the borders as possible. He just wants to get re-elected, in fact, the bill is crafted so it will be found unconstitutional by designed, it’s all planned. Anybody that votes for him in Arizona deserves to live in a socialist nation.

“McCain is a Liar...and a bad Liar, too....”
McCain seems to be a holdout for Obama in his new Senate Bill 3217, also known as the Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010, introduced by Democrat Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut.
More info on that from the Tea Party.
The vast majority of Tea Party Patriots Local Coordinators from all over the country agreed on our most recent weekly conference call that this is a bad bill and we oppose it.
In short it grants permanent, unlimited bailout authority to the Federal Reserve. Its like TARP forever without the nasty, unpopular debates and votes in Congress. Beyond that it gives the Fed the power to takeover vaguely defined nonbank financial companies. And the Fed has the power to decide what constitutes a nonbank financial company on a case by case basis.
So, what are we asking you to do?
Four things:
1.) Please contact your own Senators first and voice your opposition to this bill. If possible, physically go in person to the local home offices of your two Senators and speak to someone there who will take note of your opinion and pass it on.
