That, and the fact he's nuts.

Sunday, April 2, 2006 11:58 a.m. EDT John McCain Praises Pro-illegal Protests
Sen. John McCain is praising the recent wave of pro-illegal immigration demonstrations, saying that if the protesters hang tough they will succeed in forcing Congress to liberalize immigration laws.
"If such demonstrations continue, I think we will have a bill for the President to sign soon," the Arizona Republican told a New York City gathering on Friday sponsored by the Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform.
"The more debate, the more demonstrations, the more likely we will prevail," McCain added, in quotes picked up by the New York Daily News.
The Irish group backs the McCain-Kennedy bill that would allow illegal aliens already in the U.S. to stay and work toward citizenship.
McCain offered the comments as the city girded for its first major pro-illegal rally - a march across the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday that ended in lower Manhattan.
Despite the Arizona Republican's support, marchers on Saturday sounded decidedly anti-GOP.
"We are fed up," said Humberto Suarezmotta, a former professor from Colombia, told the News.
"Since the Mayflower, immigrants have been coming here and now we have Republicans who are against minorities."
"The people united will never be defeated!" other demonstrators chanted in Spanish. "We're not going, but Bush can leave!"
Who is "we"?

The pro-criminal, anti-sovereignty political class.
That, and the fact he's nuts.
If McCain is the GOP nominee, then I'm not voting GOP for the first time in my life.
I guess he hasn't checked his email.
Does AZ have a way of recalling this clown?
They tried a few years ago, but he contested the signatures and tied the case up in court for so long the movement lost steam. I wish I still lived there, I would try to get it moving again.
This is more a national security issue than some islamic nut bags flying a plane into another building.
Bush doesnt impress me as having Americas intrests at
heart.
The Republicans are more worried about their stinking fairways than their constiuents they will rot in obscurity.
Bush is the advertisment Hillary could have!
McCain and Graham should get a room.
Bring mitts and ball.
Dont look now but W is giving a pointy cowboy boot
to legitimate citizens.
I am impressed with Allen and Kyl over this.
Hell....even friggin Elliot Richardson sounds better than most RINOS...scary
Are these people paying attention? Bush is a bigger ally to the illegals than even McCain.
Btw, does anyone here remember the name of a certain N.Y. politician back in the 1920-1930's that was so mentally deranged due to syphilis and he pushed through and got the now infamous anti-gun laws for New York?
The reason I ask is because Mc. Pain is behaving exactly like that character.
One good thing about keeping the illegals illegal is that, officially at least, they can't vote. If the shoe were on the other foot, not one Rat would be supporting amnesty.
Not creating more Rat voters is sufficient reason, of itself, to keep these people illegal.
Most 'Rats will hate anything Bush does. So why won't Bush do the right thing and stand on conservative principles?
It's always better to be hated for doing what is right than to be hated for trying to kiss somebody's (rear end).

These *(& ^%$ idiots make me so *&^%$% angry! If they succeed in passing this, American citizens should march on Washington and physically throw the ignorant a&&es out! McCain makes me wanta imitate the french protestors.
Unfrigginbelievable!
