Like I said, a professional liar/spinner accomplished enough to make Lanny Davis envious.

You might not that I have put in BOLD type, EV's editorial descriptive word "illegal", when in fact the president was speaking about "immigrants".
A distinction, not lost on a demogague, however, one that is important.
While I agree with most of your negative assessment of Senator McCain, that sentence is a real headscratcher. Rare is the conservative that even supports him, much less considers him a 'darling'.
BTTT
Caught him LYING again.
How utterly pathetic and so similar to democrats who trash President Bush.
If you read the SOTU address live thread, you'll see that the usual suspects were claiming "Bush said Illegals" then and obviously that lie is still being propagated.
You're getting so warm and fuzzy these days, Howlin.
Hardly.
If I'm not mistaken, we had this whole "in context" discussion when Keyes did the famous "Mary Cheney" interview; I don't think he was all that persuasive then either.
Unless I'm mistaken, there was a tremendous amoung of wailing about "being taken OUT of context."
Go figure, huh?
Either that hit a nerve or vulgarity is your native state.
It's in
Fact: Conservatives control the super-delagates in each and every republican primary, from Presidential elections right down to dog catcher.
Fact: Conservatives control the money within the Republican party.
Fact: No republican candidate running for elective office in this country at the FEDERAL level can count on support or campaign cash WITHOUT passing Conservative muster.
Conclusion: John McCain has been a Senator for over 20 years, ipso facto, he is beloved of the Conservatives.
Had he not been, we would not be speaking his name at this moment.
The quislings, for example, who purposely conflate the two. But then you know that.
Don;t flatter yourself by grossly exaggerating your importance...lol.
Nobody needs a scorecard to see who's trashing President Bush.
Bottoms up.
Torie, closing the border and enforcing our laws would not be disastrous to the economy...far from it. It is straining budgets to the limits for health care, education, law enforcement and everything else.
And legal immigration has been at historically very high levels for the last couple of decades.
There should be no debate about illegal immigration. It is ILLEGAL.
We should be having a national debate about what is an acceptable level of LEGAL immigration.
I mean the man couldn't even hang on to a show on MSNBC, much less the voters of Illinois. But he did employ some of the best spinners I've ever seen.
Amazing isn't it, that some of these same spinners are now advising this President that he should fire all of his staff, and hire them? LOL!
What we have here, is a failure to com-mun-i-cate!
My remark about going down the line as a strong loyalist of the president was NOT a reference to McCain but to those HERE who have undiminished enthusiasm for W.
I completely agree with you. In fact, it is ironic that someone as fallen away from the Bush bandwagon as me, MOST despises McCain for his six years of trying to subvert the president while still staying just near enough to inherit his mantle. To bad about the pathetic mantle. (Supporters leaving Bush now, btw, is not "disloyalty," IMO. It is like a cabinet member who has served well and is now moving on.)
ROFLMAO! Just really LOL here........
MM, don't miss this one!
What happens if you deport every illegal immigrant who currently works in this country?
I'd like to see you back that up with some numbers contrasting with the immigration levels of the 1850-1880's in proportion to the population.
You obviously have little understanding of how the process works. 'Super-delegates' or any kind of 'delegates' have nothing to do with how McCain won or holds his Senate seat.
Fact: Conservatives control the money within the Republican party.
Not really.
Fact: No republican candidate running for elective office in this country at the FEDERAL level can count on support or campaign cash WITHOUT passing Conservative muster.
Baloney.

Considering the weak of your premises, it should surprise no one that your conclusion is so far from the mark.
