I wonder how many here will jump on the McCain bandwagon during election time.
That'll be a cold day in hell.
No it doesn't .. I would rather see this scrapped and start over then to see that Senate bill pass
"Most Americans are not as aggressively anti-immigrant as the House of Representatives, so a middle ground on the issue that could be acceptable to most Republican voters was theoretically achievable."
Not so. Polls show most Americans support the House bill, and don't want amnesty for illegals.
See, another good thing about global warming. Ha
Anti-immigrant? Or is it anti illegal immigration?
Last I checked McCain was becoming more and more of a contemptible, unprincipled, authoritarian dimwit hypocrite self-obsessed camera-whore who'll say whatever he thinks might get him elected, or at least on a Sunday news program, so you can definitely count me out...
But the real fault lies with President Bush and his patchwork of sycophants, neocons, and closet liberals who are trying to cajole and contort the GOP into an open-borders amnesty policy that's totally antithetical to the conservative principles of the rank & file.
When an armed robber robs a bank (yes, yes, he may even be a registered voter), he is not allowed to keep the illegally obtained proceeds. When a white collar criminal defrauds the public via stock manipulation, cooking the books (or whatever), he is obliged to disgorge the illegally acquired assets. Sounds simple and straightforward.
Now come the political whores into the temple of Pandering Politics and say that since some of these illegals may also have registered to vote, one cannot afford to offend them. This is an outrage. Each s.o.b. that voted for a criminal to retain the fruits of his crime should be thrown out of office for manifest dereliction of duty and violation of his oath.
Finally, some of the pols who actually did the right thing should sue those who did not and take the case to the Supreme Court. This type of politically-endorsed criminal activity cannot be condoned. The Social Security system is weak enough without the political whores allowing theft of the assets. That the illegals may have paid into the Social Security System is just a "cost of doing business" - when a criminal buys a gun to rob someone, he should not be re-imbursed for his purchase when caught.
Not happening.
Oh, I agree. Most of us think immigrants are fine. It's the illegal immigrants that get my blood boiling.
Hello, Speaker Pelosi...
Yes. These illegal aliens have committed fraud to obtain a SS account, and fraud vitiates any contract. Therefore, they are not legally entitled to the fraudulently obtained funds.
I could never support him. I know there are those on FR who will.
McCain voted to extend social security benefits to illegals. What idiot in their right mind (I already answered my own question here) would support him now?
MarkT,
You are so right, these political whores need to be liquidated.
Yep. I'm afraid so. There are some here who would support Rudy too, and I'm not one of them, either.
"Hello, Speaker Pelosi..."
and soon to be House Judiciary Chair Conyers, who is a walking ethics violation. I love the way the RINOs are giving victory after victory to the Dean Democrats.
Hispanic/Mexican pundit showed up on Fox TV yesterday, demanding Social Security benefits as a right. They want everything and they want it now, including the vote.
And how many of those will miss because the McCain bandwagon zig zags?
