With lawmakers from the House and Senate yet to reconcile their competing immigration bills and President Bush still touting a temporary worker program, some rank-and-file defenders of the border are lambasting the notion that deporting illegal aliens is impractical.
Moreover they view anything that smacks of amnesty as a betrayal to those who have risked their lives patrolling the borders.

Particular union vitriol is reserved for the man they call "Amnesty John," who voted for the Senate bill. "Amnesty John" is the union's handle for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
"Senator McCain has never been a friend to rank-and-file Border Patrol agents," says the union. "He routinely ignores correspondence from Border Patrol agents and often gives the impression that he is just too big and too important to deal with us.

It sounds like he's ticking off a lot of factions. That suits me just fine. I can't stand him and don't trust him.

His rampage will be fierce and the attacks on republicans will be unforgivable.
Just my supposition.
I would have called him another type of "john" but it would not have been very lady like.
Conservatives won't support him for President, they and the moonbats will not support a possible independent bid by him, and somebody will step up to challenge him for his Senate seat next election.
By 2010 he'll be 74 years old anyway.

I just wish we could get rid of him as Senator. Unfortunatley, he is not up for re-election until 2010. The recall McCain effort in 2001 failed and there doesn't seem to be any interest in trying that again.
