I didn't like it from the minute I found out about it...but, I have been trying to read anything I find about it...just in case I am missing something..
I have doubts about it...BUT, anything that has Schumer and Hillary beating the drum against it..makes me suspicious as well...
SOOOO....I am trying not to knee-jerk...but, right now I am hearing Rep. Peter King on Hannity right now...and he is vehemently against it as well...and I trust him.
BTW..since there is no Hannity thread...there are a couple of things I have to say re: Hannity.
First of all...I have heard a couple callers call and ask him questions about it....and he has seemed like he is pretty ignorant about aspects that I know have been posted several times in the last week, here on Free Republic...so, I think that Sean has NOT studied this very much...
Also...(and please don't flame me as a Hannity basher, but)...a man called and sounded like he as accusing Sean of ignoring the border problem...and Sean rightly told him that HE, Sean, had spent a lot of time bashing Bush about the border and illegal immigration issue...and had even visited the border quite a few times...
That part was fine...but, the man that called said that he knows that a lot of his friends are so mad that they don't feel that they can vote for Republican next time...and if the GOP doesn't watch out...a third party will be started by someone who IS running on a close the border, get rid of illegals platform...and that remember, Clinton was elected with only 43% of the vote...
Unfortunately, Sean answered the guy saying that "I can see if John McCain doesn't win the GOP primary, that HE will start that 3rd party that you are talking about"...
Imagine MY surprise at that...because McCain has written an immigration bill with KENNEDY that is almost totally AMNESTY!!...so McCain would be one of the WORST candidates to run as a 3rd candidate on the boder issues.
Sean...needs to do his homework...and I say this as a fan...I think he has worked tirelessy for Bush and the GOP...and for the TROOPS..which is more important.
BUT...I just wanted to get this off my chest, since I couldn't find a Hannity thread to see if any of you guys heard the same things...
If I am wrong on any of this...don't hesitate to call me on it...I may be getting a "wrong take" from him.
I'm confused ... Sean want McCain to be the candidate???
It will be a cold day in hell before I vote for McCain
And the 3rd party voters .. They keep putting up quacks to be their candidates ... that's why they get no where
What a good catch about McCain/third party/immigration. You need to write Sean snail mail so he'll be sure to read it and offer to do his research for him!
Sean is okay on some issues and a lightweight on others, imo.
As to Schumer and Hillary being opposed to the port deal, even a Democrat has to be right once a century or so. LOL
If McCain runs 3rd party, it'll be for 2 reasons:
1. he failed to get the GOP nomination in a nasty fight
2. his political hero is none other than Theodore (Moose Party) Roosevelt.
