This speech is what he hopes to have achieved by the end of his first term 2013.
I’m not a McCainiac, but can’t we leave the name calling to he DUmmy’s.
Maybe you missed the setup and don’t understand that this is a “vision thing” speech.
He is not arguing that any of this exists as of today.
Yes you are correct that the context of those statements are in a speech McCain says he hopes to give (but can’t guarantee he can actually do) after his first term.
However, I waould say I have serious doubts that he is going to be working all out to get these things, given his past history. Especially border stuff.
And if he really thinks HE is the guy that can get democrats to work with him, he is either unrealistic or believes he has more power than he actually has.
