McCain Panics, Stands on His Head, Reverses Stance on Immigration

McCain hasn’t changed his view on anything. I received a letter from him dated July 17th, in response to a very pointed email I sent during the immigration fiasco. His letter is the same-old, same-old. Any MSM treatment of him as changing his view on immigration is flatly wrong.

LOL! Hooray Tammy! LOL! Great thread. Thanks to all posters.

Tom Duncan Tancredo Hunter

LOL. Good work.

I think we can stick a fork in Adm’ral John...

[Dante3]

I agree.

I hope this will not lull voters into complacency while our "leaders" in Washington try to sneak secretly bills providing amnesty and who knows what all perks to illegal aliens. Some of them sound like they have a fetish for illegals.

Can we all say, "McCain-Feingold......?"

That's all I needed to realize he was a threat to liberty. I must admit I find his graveling satisfying........BWAHAHAHAHAHA....

If he supoports an enforcement only bill, that is 180 degrees from the arguments he made since I’ve been paying attention.

[pissant]

You mean McCain Feingold Thompson?

Mc Cain = Toast

That’s a keeper!

"We can still show the American people that we are serious about securing our nation's border," McCain said in a statement, adding that the new bill would "provide an essential step toward achieving comprehensive reform in the future." Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

Yes, his change is, give them visa now and when no body is looking we will slip in amnesty.

Ugh OH!... Evidently the word is out to republicans in denial.. 20+ million brand new Amnestied propective registered (to VOTE) democrats will (( NOT )) be a good thing for the republican party.. Several RINOs are doing the frantic backstroke.. not just McLaim..

Bushs popularity will be competeing with Jimmah Carter sooner rather than later..

[Ron H.]

Too bad the people of AZ keep him in office.

And as long as he can keep delivering the pork to Arizona the voters there will (probably) continue re-electing him. That's politics for you.

If he supoports an enforcement only bill, that is 180 degrees from the arguments he made since I’ve been paying attention.

His letter dated July 17th says nothing about enforcement only. The final paragraph reads: "I have been working with many of my colleagues, as well as President Bush, to pass legislation to fix our broken immigration system. On May 21, 2007, the Senate began consideration of comprehensive immigration reform. After weeks of debate, a procedural vote to advance the legislation failed by a vote of 46-53. Although the Senate was unable to conclude its debate on the immigration bill, I will continue working to enact comprehensive immigration reform legislation because I consider it to be critical to our national security efforts." Highlight mine.

That doesn't sound like enforcement only to me.

You mean McCain Feingold Thompson?

Was Thompson a co-sponsor...are you sure?

[pissant]

Well, the Wash. Post and others are reporting he is on board with the enforcement only bill that is moving in DC now. Of course, the devil is the details.

[pissant]

Not only a cosponsor, but one of the drafters.

[cbkaty]

I bet he wishes he could turn back time......and change that position.

[pissant]

To his credit, he has at least disavowed portions of it in the last few months. Then again, he supported it when it was in front of the SCOTUS in 2003.
