John McCain: On immigration, Washington is failing the American people

Union Leader ^ | March 6, 2007 | Sen. John McCain

[Norman Bates]

So you don't like what McCain's offering? What is W offering? Because the way I see it McCain has just moved squarely to the right of W on this issue.

nah....he's just another two-bit pol desperate to avoid another early defeat.....putting on more make-up isn't going to keep his chickens from coming home to roost. He is untrustworthy and full of it.

John McCain is the co-author of the McCain-Feingold law, and is an opponent of the 2nd amendment. If he has an immigration policy that stresses enforcement over amnesty, I'm glad to hear it. But let's just say that with his history, I remain skeptical.

McCaniac working with that lurch Kennedy made me want to puke.

I just do not trust the man and doubt he will make it past the February primaries.

Where was McCain when Republicans needed his support so now were are Republicans when he needs our support, no where.

"Many more of most of our ancestors within the last 200 years were born on US soil and died on US soil"

Tell my ancestors that. Tell the Irish that while you're at it. And the Italians. And the Germans. And the Polish. And the Hispanics. America would not be the same without those immigrant groups of the last 100 or so years.

yeh, LOL

You forgot to mention the Arizonics who have tipped the scale to keep their benefactor in office all these years.

[Norman Bates]

I can respect that. But what McCain is offering here is a lot better than any President since Eisenhower. That's an opinion, of course.

[Norman Bates]

McCain is building a legitimate campaign platform for his administration's policies. And he's moving to the right. Would you prefer a move to the left?

[Norman Bates]

"Tip" what? He won with 77% the last time around.

Tough, I know he would be as bad for America as the other front runner.

The topic is McCain and can you or he deny anything I posted?

[zarf]

I simply don't trust McCain.

I trust Obama to present himself as to who he is and what he stands for.

I don't trust McCain.

[Norman Bates]

The topic is also immigration reform and you've said bupkis. Few would choose to give you the appearance of legitimacy by replying to your empty pablum. Spamming is not allowed on FR anyway so the way I look at it there is no reason to reply to a post that shouldn't be there in the first place.

I believe we should give amnesty to these poor CRIMINALS or INVADERS.
This should be a 2 week amnesty to get the heck out of our Country.
The ones who ignore this amnesty should be buried in a tent city jail and fined $10,000 or buried elsewhere.
All aiders and abettors of these CRIMINALS or INVADERS should get 1 year in a tent city jail and a $10,000 fine for each CRIMINAL aided.
Those in government should be the first ones charged.

"AMONG THE federal government's most important obligations is to secure America's borders and enforce sensible immigration laws that will keep our nation strong and safe. For far too long, Washington has failed miserably in this vital responsibility."

That's a hell of a thing to say, considering that he's in Washington and has been part of the Federal government for the past 24 years.

That just tells me that he failed right along with everyone else.

The truth is that our nation's porous borders and failed immigration policies are a national disgrace, adversely affecting both our economic prospects and national security.

Make them all citizens with the stroke of a pen, problem solved.

Someone needs to tell little Johnny, doing the same thing over, and over, and expecting different results is insanity. I've tried, he refused to listen.

[Norman Bates]

Sounds good. Good night.

[Luis Gonzalez]

"McCain is building a legitimate campaign platform for his administration's policies."

By being critical of the policies of the government that he's been an integral part of for the past 24 years.

[Sam Hill]

Just judging from your posting history -- in which EVERY post is about promoting John McCain, I think it is a very fair question to ask if you aren't working for him?
