Careful with that.
In 2006 McCain and Specter both went way out of the way to angrily argue that they hadn't proposed an "amnesty". Both of them were reduced to ad hominem attacks against those who called the legislation "amnesty", and asserted that a $1,000 or $2,000 fine made it "not an amnesty".
Neither was even partly convincing.
Oh I know....just called Sen. Hutchison’s office after reading her “statement” on the legislation which was very troubling. She participated in the negotiations and seems to parrot the President’s talking points. After letting loose over the phone I was told they would “get my comments right to her”. Right.
