... there is indeed much to admire about Sen. John McCain ... this has not been the case with his disingenuous blustering on illegal immigration particularly when his cosponsorship of mass-amnesty legislation with Sen. Edward Kennedy is raised...
(snip)
...it doesn't give Mr. McCain the right to shut people up when they ask legitimate questions about his immigration record which includes cosponsoring legislation to permit illegal aliens to pay lower in-state tuition rates denied to some students that are in the country legally, supporting Social Security benefits for illegals and voting against an amendment last year that would have permanently barred gang members, terrorists and other criminals from the United States.
In a Jan. 5 debate, Mr. McCain declared that anyone who says he supported amnesty is "a liar, is lying."

Following is a partial listing of some of Mr. McCain's troubling actions on illegal immigration:
Supporting mass amnesty...
Supporting in-state tuition for illegal aliens...
Voted to kill border fence...
Voted against permanently barring gang members and terrorists from the United States...
Voted in favor of Social Security benefits to illegal aliens who commit identity fraud...

Watching politics on TV is extremely nauseating.
It is so obvious how they try to manipulate people.
McCain, Kennedy, and anyone else backing lawbreakers, should themselves, be in jail.
I used to eat too much until election coverage started.
My appetite is way down. It’s like getting free diet pills.
Yes.
Copies of this editorial should be distributed to Michigan, NC, and Florida voters.
Romney ?????????????
Romney is a liberal like McCain
Duncan Hunter is the only conservative in the GOP candidates
McCain's record is so bad he makes Romney look like a conservative. I would take Romney any time over McCain.
McCain and Craig both give lip service to a few conservative positions to get elected. But in looking at their record, it is obvious they are not conservatives and they are not for our country. Craig was supposed to resign but possibly his handlers needed him for the amnesty vote and he stayed on.
Many conservatives are suffering extreme indigestion.
Must be all that greasy liberalism being shoved down our throats by our own party.
Thats funny, everything you said I agree with.
McCain has been around long enough. Eons and eons. If people really believe this clown is anything other than an old liberal posing as a republican, they shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
I think KimberlyGG nailed it when she said the bipartisan OBL was pulling all the strings.
I can’t remember which thread.
JUST NUTS!
Well he is mentally confused alright. He must be confused to think any decent conservative would crawl out of bed to vote for him.
Imagine having a president who is mentally ill and goes ballistic.
“Part of the problem is that many are uninformed of McCains record.”
They need to read “American Patriot” by Robert Corum (sp?).
Although the book is about Col. Bud Day...McCain gets plenty of
print in the book section on Day’s (and McCain’s) stay at the Hanoi Hilton.
Even though Day is a loyal friend (I saw news footage of Day with
McCain during the Iowa primary campaign)...
McCain doesn’t come off well in the book.
(even if you respect him for being in the service and surviving
the Hanoi Hilton)
McCain has been in DC too long. He is totally sold out.
He is a nut who wants the reins of power TOO much.
He has a blazing, destructive inferno in the gut.
He is untrustworthy.
VOA - the books sounds interesting. For some reason I am blocked from replying to you. I do not know if others have the same problem.
“For some reason I am blocked from replying to you. I do not know if

May be a momentary glitch. I can see your reply in my pings; and I’ve
gotten replies earlier today.
Thanks for the tip...I’ll keep an eye on it.
